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.

Editors’ Notes
Bring back the excitement of waiting for a letter. Match with people from around the world as you hit “Send”, and wait patiently for replies from new friends.
Beyond Amazing Concept!
I wasn’t so sure about this app when I first got it, but the more I’ve used it, I’ve started to love it! At first you may think the waiting times are too long, but you soon appreciate it more. It’s nice to wait for a letter. It’s almost like you’re sending a real postcard!
I’ve only had the app for a few days now, and I’ve gotten messages from 3 people so far. There will always be people for you to talk to, and it is super easy to find them through a refined search. I’ve found so many people who share the same interests as me and I can’t wait to send more messages!
The app is very safe, unlike others that I have seen. You can’t upload a photo, so you create an avatar instead. And you can’t attach images unless the other person lets you. It’s easy to block someone, and I like these features a lot.
The add-free experience is very nice and I also enjoy how there aren’t any limits to the amount of words you can send in a letter, or how many letters you can send to someone. This is fairly unique to this app, which I haven’t seen on others sites that want a subscription for a premium membership.
Overall, I have nothing to fault with this app! The only thing I will say is- I have the app on my phone and iPad but my draft messages do not carry over to my other device. I would like it if this could be fixed somehow because I’d prefer to create a draft on my phone, but finish the message on my iPad.
Phenomenal, This is Awesome
You’d have no idea how much of a blessing this application is, in a world of online presence and social identity, the importance and essence of human communication has been lost. All we do is show others, how we want to be viewed not how we really are. This app is a breath of fresh air. I am insanely curious and this app lets me see the world from the eyes of others, both just with superficialities but with an actual letter writing experience bringing back that urgency and the expectation of waiting for a reply.
I give kudos to the dev team. If you need any help really please contact me. I really do not mind helping out if it helps us as humans grow in to better people. There’s so much I want to say so much I want to write so much I want to enhance... alas.
It’s been a blessing. Have my 5 Stars.
