A playful space for two people — a partner or a close friend — with games, a sealed daily question, a memory box, home-screen widgets, a shared map, and digital gifts. It is not a therapy app and it is not a feed. You open it for a short visit, not for a feed and not for a session with a therapist.
Waffle’s own FAQ calls it a group journaling app for families, couples, and friends. You write entries, attach photos and videos on the store description, and answer “Waffle of the Day” prompts. The site also mentions therapists as people you might journal with.
