Yeppity

THE YEPPITY BETA FIELD GUIDE

Less “we should.”
More “see you there.”

Grab your people. Dream up a tiny plan. Give it a yep.
Your first beta adventure starts here.

Let’s make a plan

You’ll need: a friend, two iPhones, and your TestFlight invitations.

THE MAIN EVENT

One chat. Four little wins.

Check them off as you go. This checklist stays on this page; it isn’t sent to us or saved for later.

  1. ASSEMBLE THE CREW

    Find Yeppity in Messages

    Both of you: install the latest invited build in TestFlight. Open Yeppity from your Home Screen, take the quick tour, and pick your name and emoji. Make yourself at home.

    Now open your iMessage chat, tap the app menu, and choose Yeppity. Can’t spot it? Look in the expanded list of Messages apps.

  2. GIVE “SOMETIME” A TIME

    Make a gloriously small plan.

    Pizza? A walk? A very serious snack meeting? In Yeppity inside your chat, add a title and time. Add a place if you have one. Otherwise, Place TBD has you covered.

    Tap Create plan. Your card lands in the message box. Give it a look, then tap Send in Messages. That last tap is always yours.

    Just testing? Use made-up details. “Operation Extra Fries” is an excellent place to start.

  3. THE MOMENT OF YEP

    Open it. Answer it. You’re in.

    Friend’s turn: open the card. A card the organizer shares from inside Messages includes a limited number of spots based on the other people in the chat. If a spot is available, you join automatically.

    Tap In or Out to save your answer. Changed your mind? Undo saves your previous answer again. Both of you can open the plan to compare who’s coming.

    Seeing “Ask to join”?

    The card’s spots may be taken, or it may have been shared from the Home Screen app. Tap Ask to join, then Send request card and Messages Send. The organizer opens the request and taps Let in. Reopen the plan after they approve you.

  4. A LITTLE NUDGE, IF YOU WANT IT

    Give future-you a reminder.

    After answering In, choose a personal reminder. They start off, so it’s your call. If notifications are off, enable them in the main Yeppity app.

    For a reminder test, choose a plan time and reminder that are still ahead of you. Lock your phone. When the alert arrives, tap it and check that it opens the current plan.

    Delivery depends on your connection, Apple, and settings such as Focus. Keep a backup for anything time-critical. If the plan time changes, confirm the new time and choose your reminder again.

FEELING ADVENTUROUS?

Now add a
little plot twist.

Plans change. People change their minds. Let’s see how your little plan handles it.

WHEN LIFE DOES ITS THING

We’ve got you.

Can I start from the Home Screen app?

Absolutely. Create a plan there, tap Share card in chat, choose a conversation, and tap Send. Cards shared this way don’t include joining spots, so new people use Ask to join.

Messages looks blank after an update.

Try restarting your iPhone, then wait a minute before opening a Yeppity card. That has cleared the blank panel in our testing. If it sticks around, tell us your device, iOS version, and Yeppity build.

New phone? Keep your plans with you.

Open Settings using the gear in the Home Screen app to back up or restore your account. Save your recovery key somewhere private, such as a password manager. Anyone with that key can use your identity and access. Never send it to us or put it in a screenshot.

How do I delete my account and data?

In the Home Screen app, open Settings and choose Delete account and data. Follow the confirmation and stay connected until Yeppity confirms the server has finished. This removes your owned plans, participation, reminders, and registered devices from the active service. Cards and copies already sent in Messages are separate.

THE BEST BETA TESTERS NOTICE THINGS

A tiny “huh?”
is a big help.

A confusing button. A missing yep. Something that made you smile. We want to hear it.

Tell us how it went
