About this app

Your friends appreciate hearing from you more than you think.

Dear sends you a gentle nudge when it's time to reach out to someone you care about. You pick the people and how often. Dear handles the rest.

No more guilt about the text you keep meaning to send. No more realizing it's been six months since you talked to someone who matters. Just a quiet daily reminder that showing up is simple and it counts.

HOW IT WORKS
Add the people you want to stay close to. Choose how often you'd like to reach out to each one: once a month, every few months, every six months, or once a year. Each day, Dear suggests someone to contact. Tap to text, call, or video chat. That's it.

15 VOICE PERSONAS
Dear doesn't talk like a task manager. Choose from 15+ unique voices that shape how your nudges sound.
Dear and Friendo are free and trilingual (English, French, and Spanish). Premium voices include Sherlock, Emily Brontë, Dracula, Nonna, Haiku, Noir, and Mom Text in English, Marcel Proust, Cyrano, and Le Renard in French, and Don Quijote, El Mar, and La Abuela in Spanish.

YOUR CIRCLE
See everyone you care about in one visualization. It's your relationships at a glance, not a to-do list.

BUILT FOR PRIVACY
No accounts. No tracking. No data leaves your device. Dear works entirely on-device with no backend. Your relationships are yours alone.

DEAR+ (OPTIONAL)
The free version holds up to 10 people. Upgrade to Dear+ for unlimited friends, all premium voices, and everything we build next — available as a subscription or a one-time purchase. Individual voices and a full voice bundle are also available.

WHY IT MATTERS
Loneliness affects 1 in 4 people worldwide (WHO, 2023) and increases the risk of premature death by 26%. Research shows that people consistently underestimate how much their friends appreciate hearing from them. Dear is built on that insight. A small text today could mean more than you think.

Dear was built by someone who cares deeply but needed a little help showing it.
