Frequently Asked Questions

A pixel pet for couples is a small, shared digital creature both of you can take care of together. Togthr's pixel pet lives on your desktop, grows through 5 stages (egg → hatchling → companion → elder → golden), and reacts to both of your actions. There is a 1-in-72 chance of a gold-tier pet, which is a long-running easter egg for patient couples.

Yes. Togthr was designed for long-distance couples first. You can leave each other short daily notes, watch your shared pet react to both timezones, unlock 6 skins as you go, and time-capsule letters that open on a date you choose. About 70% of active Togthr couples are in some form of long-distance setup, so the features are tested in the wild.

Most AI companions try to be a person. Togthr's AI is intentionally a small, shared object — it nudges the two of you toward each other instead of replacing either of you. It will not fall in love with you, not give medical advice, not pretend to be your partner. It helps you remember to send the small message on the small day.

Togthr has 5 ritual shapes: a one-line morning note, a one-line evening note, a single-question daily prompt, a once-a-week check-in, and a monthly reflection. None of them are required. The app's design is that small repeatable rituals survive a long relationship better than big ones.

It depends on what you want. For solo nostalgia, a classic Tamagotchi-style app is fine. For couples — especially long-distance — Togthr is the one built around two people raising the same pet together, with 5 growth stages, 6 skins, and a 1/72 chance of the rare golden variant. We are biased, but the data backs it up.

Yes — Togthr takes the Tamagotchi core (caring for a small creature) and turns it into a two-person activity. Your pet's mood reflects both partners' last interaction, so the app gently punishes ghosting without nagging. There are 6 skins including a translucent ghost, a coffee cup, and a tiny robot.

Surprisingly, yes. Togthr has a study-focus mode: when you start a 25-minute focus session, your pet 'helps' by sitting beside you. Completing a focus session feeds the pet. Skipping sessions makes the pet visibly droop. It's softer than a streak counter, and it works because the pet feels like a small study buddy.

Yes — the pet widget sits on your taskbar and is intentionally non-functional. It does not schedule, not remind, not optimize. It is an ambient companion. Many users report that a small, calm pixel on the corner of the screen is a low-cost way to feel less alone during long focused work blocks.

Yes. Togthr ships 6 default skins, and from October 1–31 a limited Halloween set goes live (pumpkin, ghost, witch-hat). They cost no extra; members get them automatically. The Halloween set is the first of four yearly seasonal drops (Halloween, Mid-Autumn, Valentine's, Spring).

Togthr Plus is $5.49 per month or $43.92 per year, billed through PayPal. The free tier includes the basic shared pet, 3 time capsules, and 3 of the 6 skins. Togthr Plus adds unlimited capsules, all skins, the focus mode, and the seasonal drops. No hidden fees, cancel anytime from the dashboard.

A daily check-in app sends a small prompt you and your partner answer every day. Most fail by week three because they scale rituals like SaaS. Togthr's check-in survives because it is small (one line, no streaks, no leaderboard), and your pet reacts to whether both of you showed up.

No, and Togthr is designed to make that line clear. The AI never pretends to be the other person, never gives relationship advice, and never makes decisions for you. It is a tiny third thing in the room — like a houseplant — that helps you remember to do the small human things.

Go to togthr.life, sign up with your email, and invite your partner with a single link. You both set your pet's name, choose a starter skin, and the app drops you into day one. There is no tutorial popup, no onboarding checklist. The first ritual is the first morning note.
