Write about someone you love, and you find yourself thinking about your own life ahead. To My Dear is a quiet place for that. For each of them, you can set down the words you'd leave and the things you'd give — and slowly see what you truly value. ■ What you can write • Words to leave — gratitude, things you want to say, what you hope they'll remember • Things to give — not only objects, but habits and ways of thinking • Things you can still do — what you'd rather not put off • Notes to yourself — what thinking of them reveals about how you want to live • One quiet question, each day ■ What it quietly does not do • It never sends your words to anyone, automatically or otherwise • No posthumous delivery, no family sharing • No streaks or rankings to rush you • No ads ■ Storage and privacy • Your records are stored on this iPhone • Nothing is sent to the developer's servers, and the developer cannot read what you write • With iCloud sync, records stay in your own private iCloud — tied to your Apple ID, synced only across your own devices ■ Please note To My Dear is not an app for creating legal wills, and nothing recorded here carries legal effect. Your words are never sent to anyone. They simply stay with you.
