Quipd is a daily creative writing app. Every day, one word appears. You write exactly six words using it. After you submit, you can see how everyone else used the same word. The most-hearted response breeds tomorrow's word, creating an endless chain.

No. Quipd uses an anonymous device token — a random ID stored on your device. You don't need to sign up, log in, or provide any personal information. Just open the app and start writing.

A new word appears every day at midnight UTC. Depending on your timezone, this might be early morning or late evening. The app shows a countdown timer so you always know when the next word arrives.

You need to write your own six words first. This is by design — everyone contributes before consuming. Once you submit your response, the reveal unlocks and you can browse what everyone else wrote.

No. Once submitted, your six words are final. This is intentional — it encourages you to think carefully before sharing. You get one response per day.

Yes. Your six-word response must include today's word. The app checks for this before allowing you to submit.

Quipd has an automated profanity filter that checks for inappropriate language before you submit. The filter detects common profanity, slurs, and attempts to bypass filtering using character substitutions (like using numbers for letters). If your response is blocked, you'll see a message and can revise it. The filter runs locally on your device — blocked content is never sent to our servers.

Your responses are visible to all users for 48 hours, then they're automatically deleted. The only thing that persists is the daily word chain — if your response wins (most hearts), the word picked from it becomes tomorrow's word and your response is preserved as the source.

At midnight UTC, our automated system finds today's most-hearted response. It picks the most interesting word from that response — excluding common words like "the", "and", "is", as well as short words and the current day's word. The algorithm favours longer, less common words. This becomes tomorrow's word, and the community shapes the chain without realising it.

Tap the heart on any response you like. You can heart as many responses as you want, but only once per response. Hearts determine which response wins — the most-hearted response breeds tomorrow's word.

The chain is the history of every daily word since Quipd launched. Each word came from the previous day's winning response. Over time, it forms a collective poem: morning → light → carried → silence → hidden → ... You can explore the chain in the Chain tab.

Free users can see the last 7 days of the chain. Quipd+ unlocks the complete chain history back to Day 1.

Quipd+ is a one-time purchase ($1.99 USD, price may vary by region) that includes: no advertisements ever, full chain history back to Day 1, unlimited response browsing (free users see the first few), and custom share card themes (multiple colour options when sharing responses).

No. Quipd+ is a one-time purchase. You pay once and keep it forever. No recurring charges.

The Tip Jar lets you support Quipd's development with optional tips of $0.99, $2.99, or $4.99 USD. Tips don't unlock any features — they're just a way to say thanks if you enjoy the app. Tips are non-refundable.

Go to the You tab → Settings → Restore Purchases. This uses your Apple ID to verify your purchase. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID you used to buy Quipd+.

Refunds are handled by Apple. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the Quipd purchase, and request a refund. We don't have access to process refunds directly.

Tap and hold (long-press) any response in the feed, then select "Report." Choose a reason and submit. Responses with 3 or more reports are automatically hidden from view. We review hidden content and may permanently remove it or restore it.

Long-press any response and select "Block this person." All responses from that user will be hidden from your feed. Blocks are one-way (they can still see your responses), stored on your device, and private — the other user is not notified.

Responses may be removed if they receive 3 or more reports from other users or if they violate our content guidelines (hate speech, threats, harassment, spam, sexually explicit content). You won't receive a notification when your response is hidden or removed. If you believe your response was removed in error, contact us via email to appeal.

Repeated violations result in escalating consequences: first violation is content removal with no further action; second violation includes a warning; third violation results in a 7-day submission block; subsequent violations may result in a permanent block. If you believe you were blocked in error, you can appeal by emailing support.

Quipd requires iOS 17.0 or iPadOS 17.0 or later. It works on iPhone and iPad. The iPad version features an adaptive layout — sidebar navigation in landscape, single column in portrait, with larger fonts and multi-column grids optimised for the larger screen.

You can view today's word and your cached responses offline, but submitting a new response and loading the feed requires an internet connection. The app will show an "Offline mode" banner when you're disconnected.

Streaks are tied to your anonymous device token, which is stored locally on your device. If you switch phones, your streak will reset. We're exploring ways to preserve streaks across devices in a future update. Your Quipd+ purchase can be restored on your new device using Restore Purchases.

Free users see one interstitial ad per day, shown after submitting a response. This helps support Quipd's development. The ad appears for a few seconds before showing you other responses. Quipd+ removes all ads.

Email us at support@quipd.app with a description of the issue. Please include your device model (e.g., iPhone 15), iOS version (e.g., iOS 17.4), and steps to reproduce the bug if possible. Screenshots are helpful too.
