Analyze your long-distance texts

In a long-distance relationship the thread is the relationship — a dossier gives it the close look it deserves.

Long distance runs on text. Time zones decide who says good morning and who says good night, and every mood has to survive being typed. A dossier shows the rhythm of it — how the conversation flows, what keeps it alive across the gap, and where it thins out — and gives you the openers and questions that do more than “how was your day?”

Good to know

Go Deeper earns its keep here: questions that move a thread past the daily check-in, with the read on why each one lands. When most of the relationship happens in writing, better questions are the highest-leverage thing to send.

Common questions

Can Dossier handle a conversation that's mostly memes and check-ins?

Yes — that IS a texting style, and the dossier will say so honestly. It covers the recent conversation: the rhythm, who carries which part of the day, and what gets a real reply versus a one-word one.

Does Dossier work on very long conversations?

A dossier covers one conversation per run — its 250 most recent messages, which in a long-distance thread is usually the last stretch of the relationship. Running it again later is a fresh dossier on the newest messages — useful between visits — and costs another credit.

A dossier is for fun and reflection, not advice. It surfaces patterns in how people text each other — it does not diagnose anyone, and nothing it writes is a finding of fact about another person. What leaves your Mac and what never does is set out in how Dossier protects your data.
