Penpals Reimagined
Slowly is a mobile app that recreates the traditional pen pal experience by connecting users worldwide through letter writing. Letters are delivered with a realistic time delay based on geographic distance, encouraging thoughtful and meaningful communication. Users can match with others based on shared interests and languages, and collect stamps from countries around the world.
Users match with pen pals based on shared interests and languages, write letters that take time to arrive based on real-world distance, and collect stamps from countries they connect with.
People who want meaningful, slow-paced correspondence with pen pals around the world
