Reach someone close

When words are hard, reach someone you trust.

Choose one person. Send a small line. Feel their answer come back. Near is private, mutual, and built without feeds, scores, or watching.

For iPhone and Apple Watch.

Near open to Reach, with separate spaces for Mark, Mom, and Alison.
One quiet reach

And their light comes back.

Each person has a separate one-to-one space. Choose a line or write your own. They can answer with a light or words, and either of you can be the one who reaches next.

You
Them

You send a line. They tap back. Their light comes back — wordless, brief.

Hold

Hold what helps, privately.

Hold keeps Today, Comfort, notes, check-ins, and earlier days together. It stays yours unless you choose something to share and review it first.

Explore Hold
Private by design

Only what you choose moves between people.

No feed, location map, mood score, streak, company analytics, or automatic sharing from Hold.

On Apple Watch

Reach without opening your phone.

Choose a line from your wrist. Their answer returns quietly, without turning the moment into a conversation you have to manage.

Your space, your scene

Choose the room Near opens into.

Watercolor atmosphere you choose for yourself. Near never matches it to your words or decides what kind of day you are having.
