Plum is an iPhone app, and that’s the short answer to most questions about devices. The rest of this page covers how signing in works and why there’s an account at all.
Devices
There’s no Android version, no iPad layout, no Apple Watch app and no home screen widget yet. The phone you log on is the phone that gets reminders, but your data isn’t tied to it, because it lives in your account.
Signing in
You sign in with Apple or Google. Apple lets you hide your email address behind a relay, and that works fine with Plum. Because of the account, a new phone picks up where the old one left off and a group of friends can see each other’s dates. You can also delete everything in one go, which is on deleting your account.
If you sign in with a different method later and it carries the same verified email, Plum links it to your existing account rather than making a new one.
Where your data lives
Your data lives on Plum’s servers, encrypted in transit and at rest, with a copy on your phone for speed. That’s different from apps that keep everything on the phone, and it’s a deliberate trade for sync and groups. The full picture, including which services Plum talks to, is on how Plum handles your data.
