Spaces
A corner for two
Each Space is shared by two people. Name it, keep your things there, and leave the rest of the internet outside.
How it works
Three small steps.
That’s the whole idea. A Space, a little thing, and a widget.
-
Open a Space
Invite one person. A Space is just the two of you — your corner, with nobody else in it.
-
Leave something little
A drawing, a photo, a note in your handwriting. It does not have to be good. It has to be from you.
-
Let them find it
It shows up on their widget. They can react right there, or watch the drawing appear, stroke by stroke.
In the app
Little on purpose.
The app stays small, so the feeling doesn’t.
Watch it happen
See it being made
A drawing can replay the way it was made. Every stroke, in order. It feels like standing next to someone while they draw it for you.
On the widget
A tap, not a chat
Love, a hug, a sparkle, a smile. On the widget, so you can answer without opening a thread.
Put it on your Home Screen
Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget. Search for Lil Things, pick a size, and choose the Space.
You
So they know it’s you.
A photo, a display name, and a color. Quiet hours, for when you’d like the little things to wait until morning. Sign in with Apple, and that’s the account.

FAQ
Questions, answered gently.
What is Lil Things?
A shared home-screen widget for two people. You send little drawings and photos into a Space, and they show up on each other’s phone.
Who is a Space for?
Two people. A partner, a friend, someone you like to send small things to. You can keep more than one Space.
Which phones and tablets?
iPhone and iPad, on iOS 17 or later. Both of you need the app.
What is Watch It Happen?
It’s a replay of a drawing, stroke by stroke, in the order it was made. Photos stay as photos.
How do reactions work?
You can leave a heart, a hug, a sparkle, or a smile on the widget, or on the thing they sent. It’s a small way to say you saw it.
What happens to my drawings and photos?
They’re stored so you can share them with the people in your Spaces, including on the widget. Sign in is with Apple. There are no ads, and we don’t sell your data. The privacy policy has the rest.
How do I add the widget?
Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and search for Lil Things.
