Closer is for two people who want to keep getting closer. Answer questions together, each on your own phone, and see both answers side by side once you have both finished. Then stay close through the rest of the day: a note, a photo, a doodle you both draw on, and widgets that keep your partner on your home screen. Decks of questions Pick a deck, from light everyday ones to the questions you have never got round to asking. You each answer on your own phone, and nothing reaches your partner until you have both finished. Then it all opens at once: your answer beside theirs, and room to say something under each one. Some questions ask you to guess what they said, some ask you to draw. Or do a deck live, one card at a time, together. The little things Leave a note at the top of their Home, or a few photos from your day. Both last 24 hours. Set your mood so they know how you are doing. Draw on one shared doodle. Put photos up in a frame that changes on its own. Drop a slip in the jar when you notice something small about them, and shake your phone to read one of theirs. Play together Draw & guess: one of you draws a word, the other works it out. Then you swap. Keep what matters Memories hold photos, a few words, the place on a map and comments from both of you. Coming up counts down to the days you are waiting for. Your streak counts the days you both show up. On your home screen Widgets for your doodle, your frame, their mood and note, your streak, your days together, today's deck and what is coming up. They change when your partner does something.
