Ping PongTap
The big button sends your friend a ping. It arrives right away, even with the phone in a pocket.
Two people. One button.
Send a ping,
get a pong
One tap that says "thinking of you". No messages, no chat: a ping, and a pong back.

Try it: tap the button
Tap to ping Dana
One button. That’s the whole story.
Nothing to word, nothing to apologize for. Just a tap.
Their button turns into Pong
One tap sends a pong back. Until then yours waits: one ping at a time.
The pong comes back
Right inside the button. That’s it. Now it’s anyone’s turn.
Connect in a second
One of you creates a 6-digit code and sends it, the other types it under "I have a code". A code works once, for 24 hours.

Every ping takes a trip
The buddy takes your ping to your friend: by plane, by train, by rocket or on a march, or sends it off as a paper plane or a tennis shot. Your friend sees the same trip arrive, and the pong comes back the same way.
Small, and thought through
Seen 👀
Know when your friend saw the ping, even before the pong.
One ping at a time
After a ping the button rests and waits for the pong. No flooding, no pressure.

By your device’s language, no settings. Notifications too.

Ping out loud, with Siri
Tell Siri, or run a shortcut, and the ping goes out in the background without opening the app. Siri already knows your friends’ names.
Ping a FriendLike the button: a ping, or a pong when their ping is waiting
Pong a FriendAnswers a waiting ping. With none waiting, nothing is sent
What’s Waiting from a FriendA ping, a pong or nothing, and whether they saw yours
More ways
- The Action Button, or Back Tap: pick a Ping Pong shortcut
- Automations in the Shortcuts app: say, ping Mom when you get home
- On Android: a long press on the icon shows your friends, and one can be dragged to the home screen
Several friends, one button
Keep a few people and switch with a tap on the name. A ping waiting from someone else shows at the top, so it’s never missed.
A long press on a friend removes them, and the connection ends for both of you.
