A quiet journal for iPhone
Begin with the people you cherish. Find how you want to live from here.
Words you want to leave. Things you want to give. Time you still want to share. To My Dear is a quiet place to gather what matters.
Why it exists
Thinking of someone dearcan bring your own life into view.
When you ask what you want to say to someone, more than your feelings for them begins to surface. You start to see what you value, and how you hope to live.
To My Dear is not only a place to write for some distant future. It is a place to look at a relationship as it is now, and remember what you can still do today.
A place for each person
A quiet place for every person you cherish.
Not a contact manager, but a place to gather your shared time and the words that live beneath it.
- 01
Words to leave
Gratitude, apologies, what you want to say. You do not have to fill every field. One honest line is enough.
- 02
Things to give
Objects, books, photos, recipes, habits, ways of thinking — whether they take a physical form or not.
- 03
Things you can still do
Make a call. Take a walk. Go and see them. Keep what you do not want to put off, without a deadline pushing you.
- 04
Notes to yourself
Keep what you noticed about yourself, and what you want to cherish in the life ahead.
Inside the app
Quiet screens that leave room for your words.
One question a day
One quiet questionfor today.
There is no need to find an answer right away. Each question is a quiet opening to remember someone dear and the life around you.
Is there gratitude that has gone unsaid because it became so familiar?
Is there something you still want to do together with them?
When you think of someone dear, what do you see in yourself?
What To My Dear does not do
Some things are left out,precisely because your words matter.
- It never automatically sends what you write to anyone else.
- It does not support family sharing or posthumous sending.
- It is not an app for creating legal wills. Anything recorded here has no legal effect.
- No rankings, streak pressure, or advertising.
Private by design
Your words stay in your space.
Records are stored on this iPhone. When you are signed in to iCloud, they are reflected across devices using your private iCloud and the same Apple ID. To My Dear uses no developer-operated server, advertising SDK, or analytics SDK.
To My Dear
While you can still say it.While you can still do it.And so you can live as yourself.
This is not a journal only for something to be delivered someday. It is a place where thinking of someone today can gently change how you live from here.
