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.

A novel and engaging app, for people who speak in multiple paragraphs at a time, to meet in the digital age. Monetization especially has so far been relatively generous in that I never felt like I needed the premium features. +Ads seem to only play while claiming "free" stamps and never during the writing/reading of letters

This is the best app ever! Thank you so much for it. I love writing letters, I love social interaction with other ppl, but as an introvert not necessarily face to face, so it's just perfect for me. I can share and exchange my experience with folks from all over the world. In this app old fashioned vibe of sending and waiting for a letter meets vibes of 21century social media and technologies. I fully recommend it!

I love it!! There's barely any social pressure so it's easier to make new friends, the people I've met are nice and everything's awesome!! The interface is easy to use and the interests-system is super useful. The cooldown on all the letters is also super relieving, since that way you can have lots of penpals without being overrun by letters! I love that you can filter out interests, since I really don't care about 18+ stuff. Thanks for this awesome experience!
