A planner vs a daily ritual
Lovewick describes itself as an all-in-one relationship tracker: a couples question game with therapist-endorsed card decks, a library of date ideas you can filter and save to wishlists, notes on your partner's likes and sizes, reminders and countdowns for important dates, and a timeline of your memories. You can use it alone, and your partner can answer questions without pairing.
Miles Apart is built around doing something together every day. Both of you complete the same daily challenge, three quick questions, a written answer and a photo prompt, and it reveals once you've both finished. Keeping it up grows a shared streak and a plant.
Where they overlap
Both apps help you remember the small things. Lovewick's forget-me-nots and Miles Apart's little things to remember both hold your partner's coffee order, favorite flower and important dates. Both keep your memories, as a timeline in Lovewick and as a pinned map plus Photo Booth strips in Miles Apart.
Lovewick goes further on planning, with 750+ date ideas, including ones that work at a distance. Miles Apart goes further on play and on distance itself: 22 games, pigeon letters that travel the real distance between you, visit countdowns and, on iPhone, a distance widget.
Price and platforms
Both apps are on iPhone and Android. Lovewick Plus, which adds premium question sets and removes the daily question limit, is $9.99 a month, $14.99 a quarter or $29.99 a year in the US App Store. Miles Apart is new, launched on the App Store in August 2026 and on Google Play in September 2026, free to download, with an optional Pro subscription that covers both partners.
Frequently asked questions
Is Miles Apart a good alternative to Lovewick?
It depends on how you use Lovewick. If you mostly use its date ideas and planning tools, Lovewick is stronger there. If you want a daily habit you both share, with a photo challenge, 22 games, pigeon letters and a shared memory map, Miles Apart is the better fit, on iPhone or Android.
Is Lovewick good for long-distance couples?
Yes. Its listing mentions answering questions over video call or typed notes, and its date ideas can be filtered for long distance. It's a general relationship tracker rather than a long-distance app, so it doesn't have letters that travel between you or a distance widget.
Can I use Lovewick or Miles Apart without my partner?
Lovewick works alone, and your partner can answer its questions without pairing. Miles Apart is built for two: each of you installs it on your own phone (iPhone or Android, in any combination) and pairs with an invite link or code, because the daily challenge only reveals once you've both finished.
