SoFarYetSoClose
In development
A messaging app for the people you love but don't need to talk to right now. Send a single emoji, a paused voice note, or a thinking-of-you ping — explicitly low-bandwidth, designed for long-distance closeness without conversation overhead.
What it does
- Single-emoji and short voice-note primitives
- No threading — every nudge stands on its own
- End-to-end encrypted between paired devices
- Configurable quiet hours per contact
- Lightweight Firebase backend, minimal data retention
