Get to know Pinchly
Seven Lessons, and it is working for you.
Each one takes about a minute, and the app carries the same Lessons if you would rather do it there. Start anywhere — they do not have to be in order.
Capture your first Pinch
A person, a place, and a thing.
Pinches help us remember the places and things that matter to the people we care about. You can organize them how you want with backups, categories, tags, and other helpful information.
In the app
- Tap the Pinch button, in the middle of the bar.
- Choose who it is for, then what they like and where they get it.
- Tap Save Pinch.
Rather say it? Hold the Pinch button, slide up, and talk.
Retrieve your first Pinch
Whatever you can remember.
Search or ask out loud for whatever you can remember—a person, a place, a thing, a category, a tag—anything works.
In the app
- Tap Search Pinchly, at the top of Home.
- Type whatever you remember. Mocha is enough.
- Or hold the Pinch button, slide up, and ask out loud.
The Pinchly Promise
Your privacy matters.
Your Pinches are yours alone. Nothing is shared unless you say so — and when you do, you decide exactly what, and with whom.
In the app
A private person is yours alone. Nothing is sent, and nobody is notified about what you pinch for them.
Add another person
Pinches for everyone.
Add someone else you care about—a family member, friend, neighbor, or colleague. A private person is yours alone—nothing is sent and nobody is notified about what you pinch for them.
In the app
- Tap New, top left.
- Tap Person.
- Tap Private Person, and add their name.
Set a reminder
Never miss an occasion.
Set reminders to, well—remember—an occasion. You can attach Pinches you’ve filed for easy gifting.
In the app
- Tap New, then Reminder.
- Choose who it is for, the occasion and the day, then Add Reminder.
- When Pinchly asks, tap Turn on, so it reaches you before the day.
Said not now? Your initials, top right, then Notifications.
Connect with someone
See what they choose to share.
Send an invite to connect. Once accepted, each of you can choose which Pinches about yourself to share. Connected people carry an orange ring highlighting their avatar.
In the app
- Tap New, then Person.
- Tap Invite to connect, and send the link however you like.
- When they accept, their avatar wears the orange ring.
Send a Bump
Ask, don’t guess.
A Bump asks a connection to finish a Pinch about something that matters to them. The answer is theirs. If they choose to share, it will show in their connected (or merged) profile.
In the app
- Tap New, then Bump.
- Choose who, and what you would like them to add.
- Tap Send Bump. The answer is theirs to give.
Connect with someone to unlock Bumps.
That is the whole of it.
Put something in, get it back, and it stays yours.
