TellbitThe small things, one tap away.
Tellbit lets you tell the people you love the little things without typing a word. I'm home. Dinner's ready. The kids are asleep. One tap, and they know.

For the moments you'd rather not type
The people in your life already know what these mean. Now you can say them in a second.
Who this is for
People who say the same few things to the same few people.
Built around one tap.
Press a button and someone you trust hears it. Everything below exists to make that easier, or to make it worth looking back on.
Alex taps.
Emma and Paul see it.
No need to type a message.
No need to decide who all get it.
You decided it once, now its just a tap every time.
Write it once
A Tellbit is a message you wrote ahead of time. Pick the words, an icon, a color and the people who should hear it. Reached. He slept. Need refill.
When the list gets long, tuck them into collections. Nothing is deleted by accident. Archive one and it waits for you.
Tap, and it's sent
No confirm box. No draft to finish. The button gives a small buzz and says Sent.
- Wrong one?
- A few seconds to undo it.
- Sent it late?
- Mark it 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes earlier. Insights use the real time.
- Hours later?
- Take it back. They're told you did, and it drops out of every count.
- Didn't go through?
- It says so, with a Retry.
They tell you it landed
Your words arrive as a notification. They can answer Got it right from the lock screen, or clear a whole day's backlog in one go.
- Sent
- Seen
- Got it
The home screen keeps a list of exactly what's waiting on your own Got it, so nothing hides behind a number.
Without opening the app
Most of the time you won't.
- Widgets
- Home Screen, three sizes. Each one picks its own Tellbits.
- Apple Watch
- A real app of its own. It works with your phone in another room.
- Siri
- "Hey Siri, Tellbit Reached." Nothing to set up per button.
- Control Center, Lock Screen, Action button
- Your favorite one, a single press away.
- Android
- A Quick Settings tile, a launcher shortcut for every Tellbit, and Google Assistant routines if you want your own phrase.
You and them
Open anyone's page and see what the two of you have said. A calendar of the days you were in touch, a running count, the Tellbits you send each other most.
Insights show when something usually happens, like the hour the kids go down. They only count your own activity. Nobody gets graded on how fast they answered.
Nobody can look you up
There's no phone number, no email and no contacts import. You connect with a QR code or a link you hand over yourself. There's no search, so there's nothing to search.
Your name is all it asks for. Linking an Apple or Google account is optional, and only for getting your Tellbits back on a new phone. Delete the account whenever you like and everything goes with it.
What it isn't
This is not a chat app.
No threads, no feed, no followers, no discovery. Nothing is watching how quickly you reply.
Try it with one person
Free to start. It asks for your name and nothing else. On iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android.
