About this app

Bridge the distance with Nearish: The ultimate alignment and communication toolkit for Long Distance Couples (LDR).

Nearish isn't just a countdown timer. It is engineered specifically for international and long-distance partners who want to eliminate the guesswork of cross-cultural dating, overcome time zone fatigue, and physically bridge the gap between visits.

From real-time distance widgets to science-backed relationship alignment tools, Nearish makes every interaction feel instant and intimate.

COMMUNICATION & ALIGNMENT
• Topics Hub & The Core: Move past "How was your day?" with our Deep Dives and "This or That" quick questions. Unlock The Core: a suite of science-backed, psycho-scientific questions designed to test your alignment on key relationship metrics, cultural differences, and future goals.
• Future Whispers: Navigating massive time zone differences? Record secure video or photo messages and lock them in a time capsule to be delivered in the future for birthdays, anniversaries, or when they wake up.
• Status & Moods: Share what you’re doing or how you’re feeling with a single tap, complete with color-coded availability lights.

STAYING CLOSE
• Live Distance Widget: See the real-time distance between you, their local weather, and battery life right on your home screen.
• Moments Photo Widget: Send instant photos directly to your partner’s home screen to brighten their day.
• Moments Video Messages: Record a quick 10-second video for your partner, just to say, "Hi."
• Shared Rhythms: Cover your camera lens to generate a unique haptic heartbeat pattern. Send it to your partner so they can physically feel your connection through their phone's vibration.

WEAR OS & SMART WATCH INTEGRATION
• Custom Dashboard: Check their exact distance, local time, and weather at a glance right from your Galaxy Watch or Pixel Watch using custom watch face Complications and the Nearish Tile.
• Ultimate Camera Remote: Use your smartwatch as a live viewfinder to control your phone's camera! Snap Moments or record Future Whispers directly from your wrist, complete with haptic feedback and screen flashes for perfect lighting.

TRAVEL & VISITS
• Trip Itineraries & Countdowns: Plan your next international visit, track flights, and watch the days count down. Includes a built-in Currency Exchange, Shared Packing Lists, and a Shared Link Clipboard.
• Smart Meet-Up Mode: Just landed? Nearish automatically detects when you're close, shifting into real-time Live Sync, and opening Meet Up Mode to plot a walking map to your partner to track the final feet until you are face-to-face.

PRIVATE & SECURE
Nearish is built on a peer-to-peer connection. All media shared between you and your partner or stored in your Secure Vault is locked behind biometrics, secured with Universal End-to-End Encryption (E2EE), and immediately erased from our servers upon delivery. No public profiles, no ads, and no complicated sign-ups. Just you and your person, connected by a private code.
