Nearlie
Made for exactly two people

Your favourite person, a little closer.

Nearlie gives you and your partner one small, private place: a question to answer every day, games for the couch or the commute, moods, doodles on each other’s home screens — and the exact number of kilometres between you. No feed. No followers. Just you two.

What’s inside

Small things, every single day.

Nearlie isn’t another chat app. It’s the little rituals around the chatting — the questions, the games, the doodles you didn’t know you needed.

01

One question a day, answered blind

Every morning there’s a new question waiting for both of you. Your partner’s answer stays hidden until you’ve written yours — nobody can peek, nobody can copy.

The reveal is the best part. Sometimes sweet, sometimes surprising, occasionally the start of a very long conversation.

02

Games that take five minutes

Two Truths and a Lie, Guess My Answer, Who’s More Likely, Desire Match — quick rounds you can play from the same sofa or different time zones.

They’re fast, weirdly revealing, and much better at “how was your day” than the words how was your day.

03

Their day, on your home screen

Doodle something dumb before breakfast and it shows up on their lock screen by lunch. Widgets share your moods, photos, and exactly how many kilometres are left until the next hug.

Closeness, at a glance — without opening a single app.

Private by design

No feed. No followers. No audience of any kind.

Everything in Nearlie is visible to exactly two people. We built it the way we’d want an app to treat our relationships.

  • End-to-end encrypted — what you write in games, we couldn’t read if we wanted to.
  • No ads, no tracking — you are the customer, not the product.
  • 18+ content is double-locked — it only opens when both of you opt in, and closes the moment either changes their mind.
  • Delete everything, anytime — one tap and it’s gone from our servers too.

Bring your favourite person.

One of you downloads Nearlie, invites the other, and that’s the whole setup. Today’s question is already waiting.
