DearPins is your new home to collect all the moments that matter to you & your loved ones. Add a DearPins widget to your home screen, & whether it’s meaningful photos, notes, or links; you can keep them all within your reach on one beautiful, customizable shared board. Pin a photo, jot a note, record a voice memo, or drop a link. Everything you share lands on a board you shape together with whoever your choose, and shows up immediately on each other's Home Screen. No feed. No likes. No pressure to reply. Just a curated little digital corner that's always there on your phone screen when you need a pick me up! -Keep every kind of memory together- It’s amazing what can trigger a memory in you. It can be a note, a photo, a voice memo, a magnet, even a link, that gains significance over time. Unlike other Widget board or note sharing apps - DearPins lets you collect photos, notes, links, and more, in one shared visual space ~ Rather than leaving these potential memories scattered across group chats, albums, and notes, destined to be forgotten. -Make the board feel like yours- Write your notes on textured paper, place your photos in Polaroid-style frames, and arrange them yourself with pins and magnets we designed especially for the app. Every board you share with someone, or even the boards you make just for you, are fully customisable. -Keep your favorite moments within hands reach- Add a DearPins widget to your home screen and your boards will automatically update - when someone pins something new, it appears straight away. No noisy notifications; with DearPins we’re trying to recreate the feeling of ‘noticing at your own pace’ in a world full of interruptions. -Made for your inner circle- DearPins is private by design. We made it for the people you want to keep close and share the little things with, nobody else. Each board lets you invite new members with a link. Once they join, you can start filling it with moments that feel uniquely yours and won’t be viewed by anyone else. We created DearPins for: - Families sharing everyday moments, family updates, and memories worth passing on - Best friends collecting photos, notes, plans, and inside jokes in a shared scrapbook - Couples staying close through ordinary days, whether nearby or long-distance - Trips, anniversaries, birthdays, and new chapters you want to remember together - Solo-creators who like to organize spaces and have full control of the widgets on their homepage But ultimately, everyone is welcome. We built DearPins for the people we text least and miss most, and put them back in plain sight, on your Home Screen. Download DearPins and start curating the living digital spaces of your shared lives.
