Love letters, not texts. Baelock turns everyday words into something worth keeping, and everyday moments into a shared story you build together. Your Timeline, a Fence of Locks - Every day you share hangs on the fence as a charm. Scrub back through the years and watch your story fill in. - Tap a day to open it: your photos land as polaroid piles you can move, gather and re-date in place. - Each of you gets your own take on a memory. Your caption and note sit beside your partner's, not instead of them. - Milestones, trips, dinners, movie nights and nights in each get their own charm. Letters That Travel - Write on lined paper, add emoji stickers and photos, and seal it. Each photo becomes a taped polaroid. - Choose when it arrives: soon, in a while, or a date you pick up to five years ahead. Your partner sees nothing until it lands. - The arrival is the moment: a notification, then the letter unfolds as they read. You hear when they open it. - Write back from the end of any letter, and replies stay together as a thread. - Leave a short note on your partner's Home. It stays for a day, and they can pin the ones they want to keep. Dates, Planned Step by Step - Jot a date idea in one line, then plan it: each step with its time, how long it lasts, and the place. - Keep steps secret. Your partner sees only a hint until the step reveals, at a time you pick or when the date ends. - Places show a photo, rating, that night's hours and Open in Maps. - Private notes and a prep checklist on every date, and photos taken during the date go straight onto it. - Start a date on the spot when the moment strikes. Start without an account, and invite your partner whenever you like. Letters you write before they join are waiting the moment they arrive. Try Baelock free: 4 memories, 4 dates, and 4 letters each, with notes always free. Upgrade to Baelock Pro for unlimited access.
