A private video card with a reaction

The card that answers back.

Send someone a private video card. If they choose, their first-watch reaction comes back to you.

You build a card. They open it. They choose. Their reaction comes back to you.

A real card that answered back

The text back. The face behind it.

By text
An iMessage thread: a family video sent to Mom, answered with two emoji

Two emoji.

With Tinfle
Authentic reaction

Her face as she watched.

I'm in Florida. My mom is in North Carolina. I built Tinfle because her emoji replies could not show me her real laugh. - Ruddy, founder

Your card in three steps.

1

Build the card

Choose an occasion, add your video and message, and set an opening date if you want one. Tinfle checks the video before it can play.

2

Pay once and send

Text the private link or print the QR card for a gift.

Your first card is free

Send it by private link or printable QR card. Future cards are one-time purchases.

3

They choose

They watch without an account. Camera and mic are optional, and nothing is sent unless they approve it. If they skip the reaction, you still see that they watched.

Side by side

Every card gets opened. Only one answers back.

From the card aisle to the e-card sites to the video gift services. Here is what each one can do.

Questions, answered.

Is the first one really free?

Yes. Your first card includes the private link, printable QR card, and the option to receive their reaction. Future cards are one-time purchases. No subscription.

Do they need an account or app?

You need an account to build the card. They open it in a browser with no account or app.

Is the camera required?

No. Camera and mic are optional. Tinfle shows when recording and asks before anything is sent.

Is the reaction posted publicly?

Nothing is posted automatically. If they send a reaction, it arrives privately. When they send it, they also choose whether you may ever share it. Without that permission, it stays between the two of you, always.

Is the link private and spoiler-free?

The preview does not name the occasion, but anyone with the link can open it and each card accepts one reaction. Send it only to the recipient. The printable card may show their name and your message.

Can I schedule it?

Yes. Choose a date within 30 days. Scheduled cards open at 7 a.m. your time, and the link stays live for seven days after payment or the scheduled date.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, before they watch or if a Tinfle issue prevents playback. Once watched, the purchase is complete even if they decline the camera. See the full Refund Policy.
