Most relationship apps are built for finding someone. Ours is built for keeping someone — especially when keeping them means loving across timezones, oceans, and all the ordinary Tuesdays in between.

We’re Jan & Hazel. We’ve been long distance since the beginning, and this is the app we wish someone had handed us on day one. It isn’t another messaging app. You already have five of those. It’s the layer underneath the messages — where the two of you actually keep what you’re building.

What’s inside

Shared journals

A quiet place two people write into on purpose. Not a feed, not a chat — entries that are meant to be kept and returned to. Your story, written by both of you, safe from the scroll.

Mood check-ins

One small honest signal a day. Because “how are you, really?” is the hardest question to answer well over text, and the easiest one to stop asking. Check-ins keep the emotional weather visible without turning it into homework.

Rituals & reminders

The small repeatable things that make two timezones feel like one home — the goodnight photo, the Sunday call, the little anniversaries nobody else would count. The app helps you keep them, gently.


Built from the inside

Every feature started as something we actually did to stay close — in documents, notes apps, and long voice memos — before it ever became a screen. We’re building slowly and on purpose, with a small circle of early couples shaping the first version. No engagement tricks, no streak-shaming, nothing designed to keep you staring at your phone. The app succeeds when the two of you feel closer, not when you spend more time in it.

Where it stands

In progress and getting close. We’re opening early access in small groups — the signup lives on the home page, and early couples get a real say in what gets built next.


Also from Escuneda

Paper has always been part of how we stay close — some things want to be written by hand. Escuneda Prints is our small studio for printable journals and planner inserts, built with the same care for keeping things: exact sizes, thoughtful layouts, made to be printed, folded, and filled in. Opening soon at prints.escuneda.us.
