Brain Dump vs Dearest

Some words are too important for a text thread. Dearest is a quiet, private space to write letters, record voice notes, and save photos and videos for the people you love most — to be opened now, or sealed for a time still to come. Every memory you create stays on your device and, if you choose, your own personal iCloud. Dearest never hosts, reads, or sells your private moments — there are no ads, no data mining, and nothing is ever used to train AI. Write with gentle daily prompts when you don't know where to start, or simply open a blank page and speak from the heart. Add a voice note, a handful of photos, or a short video to bring a memory fully to life. Already have a voicemail or voice memo worth keeping? Import it, and it is filed on the day it was originally recorded. Seal a letter for later — a graduation, a wedding, a first day of school, or a birthday years away — and it will wait quietly until the right moment arrives. Protect your entire vault with PIN and Face ID, with a full edit history so nothing is ever lost by accident. Turn your favorite memories into elegant story share cards, keep loved ones close with beautiful Home Screen widgets, and export your whole vault as a ZIP whenever you like — your words are always yours. WHAT'S FREE Writing letters, recording and importing voice memories, saving photos and videos, daily prompts, widgets, and exporting your vault.
