Love gets lost in busy days

Two people can care deeply and still go a whole day without one real moment together.

  1. Texts buried under work chats

    Your kind message lands between a meeting invite and a group thread, and gets answered hours late. Dearest puts your note, photo or doodle on your love's home screen, in a place that belongs only to the two of you.

  2. "How was your day?" answered "fine"

    A tired reply closes the door on a good story. The daily question gives each of you something specific to answer, then you see what the other said. It is free every day, and it gets you talking again.

  3. Living in different cities or time zones

    Calls are hard to fit around different hours, and the quiet between them can feel long. Send a heartbeat or a photo, check the miles apart on a widget, and count down to your next meeting.

  4. Small dates quietly forgotten

    Anniversaries survive because of an alarm. The rest slip past in a busy week. Dearest counts your days together, shows the number on your home screen, and reminds you of birthdays, anniversaries and your next meet.

Go on, write one

Type a few words. This is the widget your love would see.

A long distance app for two

  • Miles apart by city, never GPS
  • Countdown to your next meeting
  • Works across Android and iPhone

A daily question for couples

Every day there is a new question for both of you. Answer in your own time, then see what your love said. Some questions ask for a few words and some are a quick tap, so it never feels like homework. Keep your streak going, and look back at the answers in your memories.

  • Free, with a streak to keep
  • Open, this or that, you or me
  • Skip any topic privately

Questions before you download

  • What is Dearest?

    Dearest is a private app for two people in a relationship. You pair with your love, send each other notes, photos, doodles, moods and heartbeats, answer a daily question, count your days together, and see it all on your home screen widgets.

  • Is Dearest free?

    Yes. Notes, photos, doodles, moods, heartbeats, every widget and the daily question are free for both of you, and there are no ads. Dearest Pro adds more room and choice, and one Pro covers both of you.

  • Do we both need the same kind of phone?

    No. Dearest runs on Android and iPhone, and the widgets work on both. One of you can use an Android phone and the other an iPhone, and you will still see each other's notes, photos and doodles.

  • How do we pair?

    One of you creates a code in the app and shares it. The other enters it, and the person who made the code accepts the request. Codes last 24 hours, and nobody can pair with you without your yes.

  • Is it private? Who can see what we share?

    Only the two of you. There are no public profiles, no feed and no way for strangers to find you. You can lock the app with a code or fingerprint, and you must be 18 or older to use it.

  • Does it work as a long distance relationship app?

    Yes. You can add your city to see the miles between you, count down to your next meeting, send heartbeats, and answer the daily question on your own time. Dearest uses only the city you choose, never your exact location.

  • What do the widgets show?

    Your love's latest note, photo or doodle, your days together, today's question, miles apart with a map, both of your moods, and the next date you are counting towards. Every widget is free for both of you.

  • What does Dearest Pro add?

    Pro keeps your memories and photos for good, adds full-quality photos, search across everything, every question deck, your past answers, disappearing notes and photos, extra moods and every widget colour. When one of you has Pro, both of you get it.

Your love is one note away

Free for both of you. Pair with a code in a minute.
