When I used to travel away on business, my wife would get the kids to write messages or choose photographs that she would then place in dated envelopes so that I would have something to look forward to each day to read from home. This was the inspiration behind MissYou, an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Miss You has been designed to enable your family to tell you of their plans for each day you are away. They can also leave you a message, along with a photograph or drawing. Miss You is so easy to use, children and adults can enjoy planning each daily message. Each message is kept safely locked until the day it is to be read and a countdown shows how long until you will be home.

MissYou is available now for only 99 cents from the iPhone AppStore or you can read more here.
