Love Notes and Photos

A love note is a short, quiet message shown at the top of the display. Notes are one-way: your loved one reads them but cannot reply.

Send a note

1. On the Today tab, find Send [name] a note.
2. Pick a quick preset or type your own message.
3. Under Show it for, choose 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, or All day. Your name and photo are shown with the note automatically.
4. Choose Send to [name]'s screen.

Schedule for later

Under When, choose Later and pick a date and time.

Repeat a note

Under When, choose Repeat, pick the days, and set Until (last day it repeats). A repeating note needs an end date. The start date and time you set decide the daily window it shows in.

Take a note down

Notes that are showing or still to come are listed under On [name]'s screen on the Today tab. Choose Take down to remove one. Taking down a repeating note stops every future showing.

See when a note was seen

If a display is marked as a touchscreen, your loved one can touch the screen while a note is showing. The note flashes, and the note's entry under On [name]'s screen then reads, for example, Seen on Kitchen iPad · today 2:14 PM. Repeating notes show Seen today once they are touched that day, and need a new touch each day. A touch means the screen was touched while the note was up, not that it was read. Displays that are not touchscreens show no seen status.

Your photo

A familiar face helps. Open your profile with the gear icon at the top right, choose Upload Photo (JPEG or PNG), and your photo appears with your love notes.

Good to know

• Keep notes short, warm, and clear.
• When more than one note is showing, the display takes turns, about every 15 seconds, newest first.
• A tablet that is offline follows its last schedule. A note you delete or change appears on the tablet after it reconnects.
