A letter, not a message

There are no typing dots and no read-at-a-glance chats. Your letter takes the long way, and that is the point.

Write
To a pen pal we find for you, or to a friend by their ID. Pick your paper, font and ink.
On its way
Choose an envelope and a stamp. Your letter travels like real mail.
Arrives in 3 to 6 hours
Delivered
It waits in their Unread box. They keep the ones they love and reply when they are ready.

Every letter leaves something behind

Stamps and envelopes on the letters you receive go straight into your album. The greyed-out ones are still out there.

A stamp album that fills up as pen pals write to you, with where each one first came from.
A map of your letters that colours in every country your mail has come from.
Envelopes and postcards are collected too, so every letter adds something new.

Every letter leaves a line on the map

See where your letters came from and where they went. Countries warm up as the mail adds up, and letters still on their way cross the map until they land.

Letters on their way fly across the map until they land.

Share your year as an image, without names or letters on it.

Anonymous letters arrive from the ocean: the sender's country is never shown.

Or just send a postcard

A short note with a picture on the front, for the days a whole letter feels like too much.

Made for real conversations

You decide who can write to you, and nobody needs your name, number or photo.

Pen pals that fit you

Set an age range, languages and countries. We suggest people who want the same kind of conversation.

Write in any language

Letters can be in any language and script. The app picks a font that supports it.

Teens stay with teens

Members aged 13 to 17 are only ever matched with, and can only write to, other members aged 13 to 17.

Your ID, your choice

Everyone gets a short ID. Share a letterbird.me link with a nickname instead if you would rather keep your ID private.

Block and report

Block anyone in one tap. Reported letters are reviewed by our team.

Nothing to scroll

No feed, no likes, no follower counts. Only your mailbox.

Waiting is part of it. It gives letters time to feel like letters, and gives you something to look forward to.
