Our Dacha · a private app for two
a little place,
just for us.
Not a feed. Not a timeline. A private little world the two of you keep together — a calm home screen of cozy places: your dacha and a town just beyond it, your moods and letters, a daily question, and a living matryoshka that grows with you. Somewhere to tend, made for exactly one other person.
The home screen
a dashboard of little places
Open Our Dacha and you don't land in a feed — you land home: a calm grid of cozy tiles, each its own little place. Your dacha and the town beyond it; your moods, letters, photos and a daily question; a living matryoshka, a private map, your dates and rhythms. Tap one, step in, come back. Nothing scrolls forever, and nothing here is for anyone but the two of you.
Fourteen little places · one other person.
The dacha
step inside the seni
The dacha is one of the little places you keep. Open it from your home screen and you arrive in the seni — the entryway where coats hang and valenki wait under the bench — then step through a door into the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, or out to the garden. No feed, no strangers; just rooms that have only ever held the two of you.
No feed. No strangers. Only the two of you.
Shared moods
two lamps, one room
Set how you're feeling and your mood glows that colour — loved, cozy, missing you, dreamy, whatever today holds — from a wide palette of fifty-odd moods, or one you name yourselves. Theirs glows right beside it, so the first thing each of you sees is how the other really is. Keep it close all day with a home-screen widget.

The dacha, room by room
rooms you actually live in
Open the house and look inside, floor by floor — hand-painted, lived-in, and slowly becoming yours.
- Living room. the matryoshka, your framed photos, the diary, the curio cabinet, and a hearth that opens straight into a quiet chat.
- Kitchen. post-its on the fridge, a tiled pech warming the corner, and the samovar always on.
- Bedroom. for cuddling and sleeping — it only lights up when you're both home, and the bed stays locked until you both climb out.
Nested Us 🪆
a "us" that grows
At the heart of it all is Nested Us — a little matryoshka that holds the whole of you two. The open doll fills, quietly, with the real things you do for each other: a letter, a meal cooked together, a held hand, a kiss, a little Lunari. When a chapter is full you each privately tuck one keepsake inside — a note, a photo, a moment, a wish — and press the wax. It stays sealed until you both have; then it opens together, nests inside, and a new, deeper chapter begins.
warmth by the day · a painted detail by the week · a new doll by the month · a new era by the year
Love notes & the post office
sealed letters & painted postcards
Slow words, on purpose. Write a letter on one of six papers, seal it with wax, and it stays sealed until they break it open. Send a painted postcard — one of eight little scenes — addressed from you to them. Pin a note to your shared board. The postmaster keeps it all in order, and when mail arrives, they'll know to come look.

Affection & shared photos
little gestures, photos just for two
Some things are quicker than words. Tap to send one of dozens of little gestures — a hug, a kiss, something flirtier — each landing with a soft buzz and a burst of its emoji, paced to about one an hour so they stay special. And your pictures live somewhere kinder than a feed: a private gallery of just the two of you — photos and drawings alike — every one captioned, reacted to, and talked about underneath.
dozens of gestures — sweet, flirty, and a private set

them: this one. always this one.
The daily question & diary
one question a day, answered blind
You both answer without seeing the other's words. Only once you've both written does it reveal, side by side, at the very same moment — then you can look back through the diary any day, and react or leave a little note on the ones that stayed with you.

Cycle 🌙
a rhythm you can share, gently
For two people who'd rather move through the month together. One of you keeps the cycle — logging the day, or importing it from Clue — and decides, entirely, how much to share: just the phase, or the fuller picture. The other simply sees where things are, and how to be kind — in their partner's own words. Because knowing it's a tender week, and quietly showing up for it, is its own small act of love.
opt-in & owner-controlled · one shares, the other only reads · one-tap comforts — a hot water bottle, tea, cuddles, or a little space
today · ovulation — "feeling bright. be silly with me."
Gifts & the curio cabinet
spend a little Lunari, send something lovely
The dacha runs on Lunari — a little warm-gold coin you earn together: a bit each day, a bonus when you're both home, small change for kind gestures. It fills a shared pool and each of your own purses. Spend some to send flowers, cocoa, or a keepsake from the market — the pieces you treasure go into a shared curio cabinet, each one remembering who gave it, the day it arrived, and the note that came with it.

The town 🏘️
errands & little pleasures, just out from home
Step out from the dacha and the town is waiting — a handful of small stops you wander through together whenever the mood takes you.

Market & cooking
to market, then cook together
Wander the little stalls for gifts and groceries alike. Drop what you find into the basket and it stocks a shared pantry back at the dacha. Then cook together — chop, stir, knead, flip, simmer, decorate your way through tiny mini-games until a dish plates up between you.

Your world, together
find each other, play together
An opt-in, live map shows just the two of you — your pin and theirs on a real map, nothing between you but the miles you'll close. When you're apart there's the parlour: little games for two that play live when you're both online, or a move at a time by post when you're not. And the dacha's sky is real — it follows each of your own local hours and weather, so it can be dusk for you while it's still bright for them.

Six themes
six ways to be home
The same little house, painted six ways. Pick one and the whole dacha changes around you — every wall, lamp, and glow shifting together.

Private by design
No feed. No ads. No followers. No metrics.
The backend is self-hosted and access-controlled row by row, with a deliberately narrow door to the outside world — built so the only people who can ever see your dacha are the two of you. Even this page you're reading shows nothing real about anyone: every photo, note, and answer is made up.
Come in
the door's open — come in.
The sun's become a moon, the windows are lit, and your two lamps are still pouring their light onto the path. A little place, just for us — open it in your browser tonight, and let the apps follow when they're ready.
