Long Distance Communication Apps

Twig: Shared Journal App for Couples

twig app journal entry timeline

We wished we kept a journal throughout our long distance relationship.

There are so many moments in our lives that become distant memories, even those that shape a couple’s connection.

Being ‘tech heads’ Twig is the kind of journal app we would have loved using. It’s super sleek and intuitive design makes it easy to record moments and go back and relive them.

We asked Trent, the creator, to give us some insight into why he created Twig:

When you’re long distance, every moment together matters. Why not remember them with a shared journal? I made Twig so my wife and I (long distance girlfriend at the time) could easily reflect on all our favorite moments together. Have a fun story about how you first met? Maybe you’ve made a trip together you never want to forget. Add your photos and let your partner know how much it meant to you. I still smile every time I get a notification that my wife added a new entry. Re-living these moments are nice, but reading her attached love note is so much sweeter.

Feel: Send Your Heartbeat To Loved Ones

Do you feel soothed by your partner’s heartbeat and miss it when you’re apart?

With the Feel app, you and your SO can send each other your real heartbeat along with one of many fun heart designs.

You can add memos and save your loved one’s heartbeat forever, so you can always listen to it when you’re feeling lonely.

Touchnote: Create Digital & Physical Postcards

Touchnote is a great way to keep the communication in your LDR fun and tangible.

This app allows you to create digital postcards, which are then printed into actual postcards and sent to the person of your choosing.

Texts and Snapchats from your boyfriend or girlfriend are nice, but there’s something so special about receiving an actual piece of mail.

The app is free, and the postcards only cost around $2 to $4.

Between: Couples App

Between allows for completely private communication between you and your partner.

No need to worry about friends reading your personal messages… everything is encrypted and password protected.

You can use the chat feature to send messages you don’t want saved on your phone, or you can build a secret photo album of your relationship.

LoveBox Messenger App

Want to let your SO know you’re thinking of them without even needing to open your phone?

With the Bond Touch App and connected couples bracelets, you can send your love with a single tap.

They work in a similar fashion to the Totwoo Bracelets, but rather than squeezing your partner’s wrist, the Bond Touch bracelets will vibrate and light up.

What’s really cool is that you can use the app to select what color your partner’s bracelet will light up with!

You also have the ability to send messages with up to ten taps at once, which is perfect for creating your own code, for example:
