Nightly
One question a night. A whole map of each other.
Nightly is a private, two-person bedtime ritual for couples who already love each other and want to keep discovering each other anyway. Every night it asks you one warm, open-ended question. You answer for yourself and guess what your partner will say. Then comes the reveal.
The Small, Steady Pleasure of Being Known
No feeds. No followers. No score. Just the two of you, a few quiet minutes before sleep, and one good question. One partner might play at 7 am and the other at 5 pm. The reveal simply waits until you've both answered.
The ritual, in four steps
- One shared question appears for both of you each night.
- You each answer privately, in your own words, at your own pace.
- You each guess what the other person will say. The guess is where the intimacy lives.
- The reveal unlocks once you've both finished: your guess, side by side with their real answer. Then one reaction. "I knew that" or "That surprised me." There's no score.
Built for the long haul
Every reveal files into a growing Love Map of each other, organized by theme: Small Joys, The Past, This Season of Life, Tender Places, Dreams, and Someday. The questions start light and only reach the tender ones after weeks together. The connection counter only ever climbs. No streaks, no red numbers, no shame for a night off.
Just your two phones
Nightly has no server, no accounts, and no subscription. Your answers sync directly between your two phones through your own iCloud. Some of the most personal things you'll ever write down should live with the two people they're for, and no one else.
The Book Behind the App
Built by Chris Weiss, inspired by the themes of memory in The Second Chance Cinema by Thea Weiss.
The novel is about a theater that gives you a second look at the moments that made you who you are. Nightly is built on the same idea: the version of you your partner never got to meet has been sitting beside them the whole time. Questions like "If we could watch one scene from your life before me, projected like a film, what would you choose for me to see?" come straight from the world of the book.
