About this app

Slowly: Build Authentic Friendships at Your Own Pace

"In a world dominated by instant messaging, meaningful connections have become a rare luxury."

Slowly reimagines the art of correspondence, offering a unique way to make friends. Through thoughtfully written letters, connect with penpals around the world and explore the beauty of cultural and linguistic exchange. Rediscover the joy of anticipation and dive into the depth of heartfelt, written conversations.

Designed for those who prefer to take their time and focus on genuine connections, Slowly brings back the charm of traditional penpals. Each letter takes time to arrive—anywhere from a few hours to a few days—depending on the distance between you and your new friend. Whether you’re looking for foreign friends, a language exchange partner, or simply a quiet space to write a meaningful letter, Slowly is here for you.

Key Features:

► Distance-Based Letter Delivery
Each letter travels at a speed that reflects the physical distance between you and your friend, creating a sense of anticipation. With no pressure to respond instantly, you have time to reflect, compose your thoughts, and share your story. This slower pace nurtures deeper and more meaningful connections.

► Collect Over 2,000 Unique Stamps
Turn every letter into an adventure by collecting unique regional stamps from across the globe. These stamps add a personal and cultural touch to your correspondence, serving as mementos of the friendships you create.

► A Safe and Secure Space for Everyone
No photos, no real names—just your thoughts, shared in a secure and stress-free environment. Whether you're an introvert looking for deeper conversations or someone who values privacy, Slowly offers a safe place to express yourself and connect authentically.

► Unlimited Letters, Always Free
Enjoy the art of writing without limits—send and receive as many letters as you like, completely free. Optional premium features are available to enhance your experience and meet your unique needs.

The app is great. It's fun, and I've met some really good friends. But be aware that when they tell you your location is adjusted, PEOPLE SENDING YOU LETTERS CAN STILL SEE WHAT CITY YOU'RE FROM. Slowly only moves your location a few miles from you, so please be careful. Limit what you're willing to tell people if there's any risk of them coming to see you.

I haven't been on slowly for too long, but the short time I have been here has been a good experience filled with fun and anxiety. The joy of sending a letter to the person you don't know, the anxiety you get on whether the person will reply it or not and the happiness you feel when one replies is unmatched. I would definitely recommend this app. it's easy to use and it has no unnecessary charges

I have been a Slowly user for a while and i have to say its been like writing a diary with your thoughts to different people out there, i love this concept so much. Two things i'd like to mention is first a lot of profiles when searching for matches at top is most i find are not available.. i am like reading there bio and then i see at bottom they are not available it kills the mood if you like the bio. Second sometimes the app at the loading screen stucks it keeps loading for no reason.
