Ferried

ferried is a small app for staying close to the few people you'd actually text.

you write one short note. it arrives on their lock screen. it sits in their widget through the day. and at midnight, their time, it's gone.

that's the whole app.

— one thread per person —

every friend gets their own place. their last note to you is right there when you open it, without scrolling past anything else. there is no feed, no timeline, and nothing from anyone you didn't invite.

— it's on the lock screen, not in another inbox —

the lock screen widget shows the latest note without unlocking anything. the home screen widget cycles through your friends. tap either one and you're already writing back.

— notes expire —

every note disappears at the recipient's local midnight. nothing accumulates. there's no archive to scroll back through, no read receipts to interpret, and no pressure to reply before it's gone — the point is the note today, not the record of it.

— reply without opening the app —

reply straight from the notification. share text from anywhere with the share sheet and it becomes a note. ask siri to send one.

— invite only, and small on purpose —

you connect by sending someone a link. no usernames to search, no discovery, no suggestions. the free tier holds one connection, because for a lot of people that's the honest number — a partner, a parent, one friend.

— sign in with apple —

that's the only way in. no password to make, no phone number, no address book upload. no ads, no trackers, and no third-party analytics anywhere in the app. delete your account from settings and everything goes at once, including the sign in with apple grant.

— ferried+ —

$2.00/month unlocks four more connections, for five total. one subscription covers all four slots — there's nothing else to buy, ever. the first connection stays free whether or not you subscribe.

ferry a note to the people you love.
