The space between
two lock screens.

A private app for exactly two people. Photos arrive wrapped like gifts. Your distance, your days together, and a little world you grow — without opening anything.

Not another chat app

Presence, not messages.

Nestlight has no feed, no followers, and no chat threads to keep up with. Every photo you send arrives on your partner's phone wrapped like a small gift — they tap to open it, every time. One tap sends a wordless "thinking of you." That's the whole language.

Photos that arrive as gifts

Snap a photo, doodle on it if you want, and it lands wrapped on their lock screen. Opening it is a tiny ritual, not a notification to clear.

Live distance between you

A widget shows how far apart you are right now — and when one of you is on the way, a live activity counts the distance down to zero.

A canvas you both draw on

One shared surface, always there, on both your home screens. Leave a doodle at lunch; find one back by dinner. No read receipts.

A world that grows

Your own tiny island — a tree that matures over months, a tent that becomes a house, and Ember, a small companion who glows brighter the more you both show up.

Widgets for everything

Days together, distance, latest photo, thinking-of-you, the shared canvas — on your lock screen and home screen. See every widget →

One subscription, both of you

If either of you goes premium, it unlocks for both. Because it was never a solo app to begin with.

Privacy, plainly

Built for two people who trust each other.

Location sharing is optional and off by default. When it's on, Nestlight uses low-power significant-location updates — not continuous GPS — and your partner only ever sees the distance between you, never your position on a map. Turn it off and your last position is deleted immediately. Leaving is unilateral: nobody needs an ex's permission to unpair.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

What is Nestlight?

A private iPhone app for exactly one couple — you and your partner. Photos arrive wrapped like gifts on their lock screen; widgets show days together, live distance, your latest photo, and a shared drawing canvas. No feed, no followers, no strangers.

Does Nestlight work for long-distance relationships?

Yes — it's who Nestlight fits best. A distance widget shows how far apart you are right now, a countdown tracks your next visit, and the On My Way live activity shows distance closing in real time when one of you is traveling. More on long distance →

Is Nestlight private? Does it track my location all the time?

Location sharing is optional and off by default. When on, it uses low-power significant-location updates, not continuous GPS, and only your computed distance is ever shown — never your position on a map. Turning sharing off deletes your last known position immediately.

Do both partners need to pay for premium?

No. One subscription covers the couple — if either of you subscribes, premium unlocks on both phones.

Is Nestlight a chat or messaging app?

No. There are no chat threads. Nestlight is built around ambient presence: photo gifts, a wordless thinking-of-you tap, a shared canvas, and lock-screen widgets — being felt, not messaged.

Two phones. One little world.

Nestlight is in final testing for iPhone and isn't in the App Store yet. There's no waitlist to join — this page will link straight to it the day it's live.

Coming soon to the App Store
