Lettre

What is Lettre?

Lettre is an innovative messaging application designed for Apple iOS devices, focusing on a deliberate and thoughtful communication experience. It caters to individuals who appreciate the art of letter writing and wish to connect with others globally through a slower, more personal medium. The platform provides tools to compose digital letters using handwriting, discover and interact with pen-pals worldwide, and engage in the collection and trading of unique digital stamps, often created through collaborations with artists.

How to use Lettre

Users can get started by downloading the Lettre app from the Apple App Store. The core interaction revolves around writing digital letters using a handwriting interface. Communication is designed to be deliberate, with a 'slow delivery specialist' named Pippin, implying a delayed messaging experience akin to traditional mail. While the core app functionality appears accessible, users can opt for the 'Pippin Supporter’s Club' subscription, priced at less than a coffee per month, to gain access to exclusive cosmetics, profile customizations, and special stamps, thereby supporting the development team.
