Lettie – penpals and letters

Lettie is a pen-pal app where letters fly across a globe.

You write a letter tonight. It takes off, crosses the ocean at the real distance between your two cities, and lands tomorrow. Seoul to Tokyo takes a couple of hours; Seoul to New York, seventeen. Nothing is instant, so people write like it matters.

■ Letters travel real distance Delivery time is computed from the actual distance between you and your pen pal: at least 30 minutes, at most a day. You can watch your envelope move across the globe, and you get a nudge when it is about to land.

■ Pick up a stranger's letter In Discover, people release letters into the sky. Three new envelopes drift close every day. Open one, read it, and write back if it moves you. That is how most friendships on Lettie begin.

■ Translation in a tap, 70+ languages Every letter has a translate button. Read the original and the translation side by side. Language is not a barrier here; distance is the fun part.

■ Show up as a character, not a selfie Everyone starts as one of sixteen pixel characters, or draws their own. There are no profile photos. The first thing anyone learns about you is how you write.

■ A stamp from every country you reach Each country your letters land in gives you a stamp and paints your globe a little more. Collecting them is a good excuse to write to someone in Finland.

■ Letters take turns You can write to the same person again only after their reply lands. That one rule keeps conversations calm and honest. Unlock an unlimited conversation with gems when you both want to write faster.

■ Someone to meet today A few cards a day, chosen by interests and the kind of people you want to meet. No swiping, no scores. Skip freely.

Good for you if · You want pen pals and friends abroad · You are learning a language and want real letters, not drills · You are tired of instant messages that go nowhere · You like the feeling of waiting for a reply

Free to download. Optional gems and Lettie Plus unlock stamps, custom characters and unlimited conversations. Reporting and blocking are built in.
