GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
Nearness draws on established relationship science and wisdom:
• Gottman Method — the 5:1 ratio, emotional bids, the Four Horsemen
• Attachment Theory — understanding how you connect and why
• The Art of Loving (Erich Fromm) — love as practice, not just feeling
• The Four Loves (C.S. Lewis) — understanding the different dimensions of love
• The Five Love Languages (Gary Chapman) — speaking your partner's language
• Pál Ferenc — from dependency to genuine intimacy
100% OFFLINE & PRIVATE
Nearness was built with privacy as a foundation, not an afterthought:
• No internet connection required — works anywhere
• No user accounts or sign-ups
• No data ever leaves your device
• No third-party analytics or tracking
• Your journal entries stay on your phone — only you can see them
