A long distance couple app
Dearest helps the two of you feel close between calls, with notes, heartbeats and a countdown to when you meet.
Distance is hardest between calls
Calls are good, but they need a time that suits both of you, and different time zones or work shifts make that hard. In between, the quiet can feel long, and small worries grow in it.
Dearest fills that gap with things that need no planning. A heartbeat, a photo of your lunch or a doodle lands on your love's home screen, and a countdown shows how long until you meet. Nothing has to be said at once for the two of you to feel together.
Feel close from far away
Missing someone is easier with something small to hold on to. Send a note, a photo, a doodle or a heartbeat, and it appears on their home screen where they will see it without opening anything. It is a little moment of you, in the middle of their day.
Miles apart, by city
Add your city and see how far apart the two of you are, in a widget, with a map if you like. Dearest uses only the city you choose, never your exact location, and it never asks for GPS.
Counting down to you
Set a date for your next meeting and Dearest counts down to it, with reminders the day before and on the day. Hold the screen together for Touch, and both phones pulse at the same moment.
- Miles apart widget and map
- Next up countdown
- Heartbeats and moods
- A daily question to answer together
Private, only for two
There are no public profiles, no feed and no way for anyone else to find you. Pairing needs a code and your love's yes, so what you share across the miles stays between the two of you. You can lock the app with a code or your fingerprint.
Different hours, one routine
Answer the daily question when your day allows, and your love sees your answer when theirs does. Notes wait on the home screen until they look, so neither of you has to be awake at the same moment. An evening reminder helps the habit stick.
Free for long distance couples
Everything that keeps you close day to day is free: notes, photos, doodles, moods, heartbeats, every widget and the daily question. Pro adds longer memory and extras, and one Pro covers both of you, which helps when you live in different places.
Questions people ask
Does Dearest track my location?
No. You choose a city, and Dearest shows the distance between your two cities. It has no GPS and asks for no location permission on your phone.
Is it a good miss you app?
It is made for missing someone. Send a heartbeat, a mood or a short note, and your love sees it on their home screen straight away.
Can we use it on different phones?
Yes. One of you can use Android and the other an iPhone, and the widgets work on both, so distance and phone brand do not matter.
Can I see how far apart we are?
Yes. Add your city and Dearest shows the miles between you in a widget, with a map if you like. It uses only the city you pick.
What can we do together when we are far apart?
Answer the daily question, send heartbeats and moods, share photos and doodles, count down to your next meeting, and hold the screen together for Touch so both phones pulse. All of it is free.
Does it work if we live in different time zones?
Yes. Nothing needs to happen at the same moment. Notes and photos wait on your love's home screen, and each of you answers the daily question when your own day allows.
