Send Someone a Secret Message
Turn ordinary places into extraordinary surprises. Leave an encrypted secret note that unlocks only when someone you care about visits the exact spot.
A Mysterious Experience for Friends and Loved Ones
Sending a secret message shouldn't just be another fleeting ping on an instant messaging app. The most memorable messages are the ones that demand anticipation, curiosity, and physical discovery.
With Dear Whoever, you can leave a note at the café where you first met, by the fountain on campus, on a hiking trail summit, or outside their favorite bookstore. Give them a subtle clue or coordinate hint, and let the adventure unfold!
Creative Ways to Send Secret Messages
Scavenger Hunts & Gifts
Send friends on a mini real-world treasure hunt. Drop a secret note at waypoint 1 with a clue leading to waypoint 2, culminating in a celebration or surprise gift.
Romantic Dates & Anniversaries
Hide anniversary reflections or date-night instructions at a nostalgic spot. When your partner arrives, they unlock a heartfelt note written just for them.
Surprise Compliments for Strangers
Brighten an unknown traveler's day. Leave an uplifting quote, a book recommendation, or a positive thought at a scenic park bench or busy transit station.
Travel Memories & Time Capsules
Leave a secret reflection while visiting a new city. Set a 90-day lifetime so other backpackers or future travelers can uncover your favorite hidden spots.
How Does the Recipient Unlock the Secret Note?
1. Share the location or area name with your recipient (e.g. "Check the map around Central Library!").
2. When they open Dear Whoever on their phone, they will see a locked marker in that area.
3. As they walk closer and cross within 35 meters of the coordinates, the lock icon turns green and the button illuminates: "Unlock Message".
4. Tapping unlock sends verified GPS proof to the server, instantly revealing the note on their screen!
