Technical Details
Drawing syncs via WebSocket connection with less than 100ms latency in most cases. If one partner goes offline, their strokes are saved locally and sync when they reconnect. The canvas supports up to 10,000 strokes before automatic archiving.
Privacy
Your shared canvas is completely private - only you and your Couple Mode partner can see it. Canvas data is encrypted and stored securely. You can clear the canvas at any time from Settings.
