## Description

A quiet line to the three people who matter most. Send a Marco to say "thinking of you," get a Polo back, or ask for help with one tap. Now on Apple Watch.

Marco Polo is a quiet, private way to stay close to the three people who matter most.

No feeds. No likes. No ads. Just a simple, reliable line to your inner circle.

HOW IT WORKS
• Send a "Marco?" — a wordless "thinking of you / are you okay?" — by holding a friend's card.
• Get a "Polo!" back — an easy, one-tap "I'm okay."
• Need Help — when something's wrong, one button alerts everyone in your circle right away.

BUILT FOR YOUR CLOSEST PEOPLE
Your circle is capped at three on purpose. Marco Polo isn't a social network — it's for the handful of people you'd actually call in the middle of the night. Parents and kids. Partners. Best friends. The people you want to keep a thread to without the noise of group chats.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Rename your "Marco" and "Polo" to anything you like.
• Signals you can feel — gentle haptics, sound, and motion, not just another badge.
• Beautiful, calm, dark interface that gets out of the way.

ON YOUR WRIST
The Apple Watch app lets you check in and respond in a single tap — perfect for a quick "I'm okay" without reaching for your phone.

PRIVACY FIRST
• Your phone number is stored hashed (SHA-256) and is never shared with other users.
• Your custom messages are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) — only you can read them.
• We never sell your data, share it with third parties, show ads, or track you.
• Export your data or delete your account anytime from Settings.

Marco Polo is free. Download it, add the people who matter, and keep a quiet thread to the ones you love.
