About

Same Same

Features
Read full description

Same Same is for the person you already have — the best friend, the sister, the partner, the parent. The one you love and keep meaning to get back to. Every day you both get the same question. You each answer on your own, without seeing the other’s answer first. Once you’re both in, your answers reveal at the same time — no peeking until then, not even for you. Some days it’s quick: pick an answer, tap, done. Other days it’s a little more — something worth sitting with for a minute. Either way it only takes one, and it adds up: every answered day lives in your shared archive, so you can look back on what you both said, whenever you want. No feed. No followers. No performing for an audience. Just the two of you, one question at a time.
