## What is Shorter?

Make distances Shorter with photos from the people you care about, right on your home screen. 

Long distance is tough. Whether it’s a friend that moved away or a partner on the other side of the country, losing the everyday moments that make up a special relationship is challenging. Especially across time zones, bad cell reception, or tight schedules, long distance can feel unapproachable. 

Let’s make it Shorter.

Shorter reimagines the small interactions of talking, laughing, and complaining that make your relationships so amazing. Whether sharing a photo directly to their lock screen or looking back through old memories you can feel physically present in their life even thousands of miles away.  Shorter is great for a summer apart, a year in different countries, or even just letting your friend know what you’re up to on a weekend trip. Connect with friends, and make the distance Shorter.

For aanika :)
