Long Distance

Two cities, two clocks, and a countdown to the next time.

Scroll inside the phone — this is the real template.

The specific misery of distance is arithmetic. What time is it there, is it too late to call, how many days until the flight. This template puts both cities on the page with live clocks so the time difference stops being a calculation and becomes something you can just look at.

Above them runs a countdown to the next time you are in the same room, which is the number that actually matters. Then the timeline — the visits, the airports, the year you both got through — and the photographs. Warm paper and terracotta rather than red, because this is not only a romantic template. Plenty of these are made for a friend who moved or family in another country.

Good for
Long distance · An anniversary spent apart · A friend who moved away
Works for
A partner abroad · A friend in another city · Family far away

Real clocks, not a screenshot

Pick both cities and the page works out the offset itself, daylight saving included, and updates every time it is opened.

A countdown to the next visit

The one number both of you actually track, on the page, counting down on its own.

Built for a slow connection

Photographs are compressed and the page is readable before all of them have arrived — which matters when it is being opened on patchy data eight time zones away.

Twelve colourways

Every template comes in all twelve. Change it in one tap while you edit — each one is contrast-checked so the words stay readable.
