About

Dearkin

Dearkin sends you a gentle nudge to call someone you love — at a moment you didn't plan, on a day you needed it. Pick a few people who matter. Dearkin spaces out reminders thoughtfully (between four days and two weeks per person, never more than one nudge a day across everyone). When the moment comes, a quiet notification arrives. Tap once to call. Tap "Later" if you're driving. Tap "Dismiss" if today isn't right — there's a sixty-second undo on every action. Designed for warmth, not productivity. WHAT'S INSIDE • A clean home screen with the people who matter, spaced for breathing room. • Tap a tile to call. Double-tap for the detail view. • Lock Screen + Home Screen widgets show who's "next up" — tap a widget to dial. • Quiet hours that respect your night. Default 10pm–8am; configurable. • Pause anyone temporarily without removing them. • Light, warm aesthetic, painted by hand. No dark mode by design. WHAT'S NOT INSIDE • No accounts. No login. No password to forget. • No tracking. No analytics. No ads. No social feed. • No subscription. A single one-time $2.99 purchase unlocks the full app. DEARKIN UNLOCKED ($2.99 ONE-TIME) • Unlimited loved ones (free tier supports up to 3). • "Hey Siri, I just called Mom" — log calls hands-free. • iCloud Sync across your devices. AVAILABLE IN 28 LANGUAGES English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Português (Brasil), 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, Русский, Bahasa Indonesia, Tiếng Việt, हिन्दी, العربية, 繁體中文, Nederlands, Filipino, Svenska, Norsk Bokmål, Dansk, Suomi, Polski, Čeština, Magyar, Română, Ελληνικά, and עברית. PRIVACY BY DESIGN We can't read your call history — iOS doesn't allow third-party apps to access it, and we wouldn't want to. We don't ask for your location. We don't track which buttons you tap. The contacts you pick stay on your device (or in your own iCloud, if you turn that on). Dearkin is for the people you love. We hope it helps you reach them.
