In a private test with friends and family

A private space for the two of you.

Just Us connects two people and nobody else. No groups, no followers and no feed.

Why Just Us is different

  • Paired in person

    You scan each other's codes once, in the same room.

  • End-to-end encrypted

    Messages are encrypted on your phone before they are sent. Our relay can't read them.

  • No accounts or ads

    There's nothing to sign up for, and no tracking.

Why I built Just Us

I wanted one app on my phone where every notification, and every time I opened it, meant I was chatting with one person: my spouse. No group chats. No work pings. No noise. Just us.

Once we had that space, more of our interactions moved into it: work travel, date nights, family weekend plans. The question “What do we have going on this weekend?” now had an answer before anyone asked.

Then it became our travel companion, with flight/hotel confirmations, documents, and itineraries all in one place we could both reach.

It slowly became part of how we build our life together. We figured other couples might want the same thing, so we’re sharing it.

How a message travels

Think of a sealed letter handed to a courier who has no key. The courier gets it to the right door, but can never read it.

  1. Your phone

    Encrypts the message before it leaves.

    What it holdsTacos for dinner tonight?
  2. Our relay

    Passes it along without the key to open it.

  3. Their phone

    The only other place it can be decrypted.

Messages are deleted from the relay once your partner's phone receives them, and after 30 days at most. What the relay handles

Everything you share, in one place

Send messages, photos, voice notes and videos, and keep life organized together with a shared calendar, lists, a budget and travel plans.

Built for two. On purpose.

Most apps grow by adding people. Just Us stays small so it can stay private.
