Long-Distance Touch
The long distance kiss app that lets you feel each other's touch
Thumbkiss lets you send a real touch across any distance. Press your thumb to the screen and, in the same spot on your partner's phone, a soft glow and a gentle buzz appear, a kiss you can actually feel, wherever they are. Free on iPhone and Android.
What is a thumbkiss?
A thumbkiss is a touch you send with your thumb. You press the screen; your partner feels a soft haptic buzz and sees your touch light up in the very same place on their phone. There are no words to type and nothing to schedule, it's the quickest way to say “I'm thinking about you” and have it actually felt, whether you're one city apart or ten time zones away.
What is a long distance kiss app?
A kiss app, also called a long distance touch app, sends something physical between two phones. Instead of a message you read, your partner gets a signal they can feel: a vibration and a light on the screen, in response to your touch. It does not replace being together, but it gives couples who live apart a small, physical way to say "I'm here".
In Thumbkiss, that signal is the thumbkiss. Hold your thumb on the screen and your partner's phone shows a soft glow in the same spot, with a gentle haptic buzz. If you both hold your thumbs on the screen at the same time and they meet in the same place, you both feel it, a little like touching fingertips through the glass.
The touch travels in real time over the internet, so distance and time zones do not matter, and it works between iPhone and Android. It also sits inside a private space for two, next to your messages, couple games, Sleep Together and widgets, so the kiss is one part of a full couples app rather than a one-off gimmick.
