Countdowns
Birthdays, trips, launches — balloons when the day arrives.

Good to know
Installing on a Mac
Open the .dmg and drag Corkly into Applications. That's it — Corkly is signed and checked by Apple, and it updates itself from then on.
Installing on Windows
Run the installer. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. You only see this once — Corkly updates itself after that.
Where do my boards live?
On your computer. Only boards you choose to share are stored online, so the people you invite can see them. Corkly sends anonymous usage counts like "opened today" — never names or what's on your boards — and you can switch that off in Settings.
Can we play and send voice notes between a Mac and a PC?
Yes. Share a board and everything on it — notes, photos, voice notes and games — shows up on both computers, Mac or Windows. Games and voice notes are free; Plus just lets voice notes run longer.
How do I cancel Plus?
Open Corkly → Settings → Corkly Plus → Manage subscription. You keep Plus until the end of the period you paid for.
