Ask Permission

Quick asks, clear answers

Submissives send short everyday permission asks: going out, spending, starting an activity. The Dominant gets a push notification and approves or denies with optional notes. Pending requests expire after 24 hours if unanswered. It needs a partner, so solo dynamics cannot use it. A Premium feature; any partner's Premium unlocks it.

Not every decision needs a scene negotiation. Permission requests give submissives a lightweight way to ask for everyday clearance and give dominants a single place to answer, with a 24-hour expiry so no ask stays open.

Capabilities

Fast asks

Quick-pick from your recently used asks or write a custom message (up to 200 characters). Designed for real-life permissions, not long negotiations.

Dominant review

Incoming requests surface on the dominant home and in a dedicated list. Approve or deny from a detail sheet with optional notes.

24-hour expiry

Unanswered requests auto-expire so nothing stays ambiguous indefinitely.

Notifications

The Dominant gets a push when a new ask arrives or when the submissive cancels one. The submissive gets a push when the ask is answered.

History

The submissive sees their pending and recent asks, with each answer, on the permission requests screen. The Dominant sees the asks still waiting.
