What's New in Lettre.app

2.8.1

September 8, 2026

Hello lovelies, twice in one week!? This one is a little different. No giant rebuilds, no architectural adventures, no shiny new feature. Just a bunch of small things we've been wanting to make better, a little music from Pippin’s Park Buddies and some much-needed polish across the board. Here’s what’s new, the important stuff worth mentioning: - Our (FIRST) Official Soundtrack: We’ve added a new card to the Post Office “Home” section for something a little special: our very own music album release! Tap it to see all the places where our music is available. Put on some headphones, grab your pencil and cozy up! - Supporter Perks, behaving properly: The Daily Stamps and Monthly Stationery sliders found at our Post Office’s “Home” section now behave according to who is actually tapping them. It sounds obvious, but they weren't always quite this sensible. - A smoother Post Office: Opening and closing the Daily Stamps and Monthly Stationery galleries no longer makes the Home screen behind them flicker, disappear, and download everything all over again. It’s a lot smoother now, making the experience a lot more… fun - Unsend Mail gets its own look: Unsend Mail now has a dedicated paywall page and artwork instead of borrowing the generic one. Every feature deserves a little personality and weirdly, you people seem to like this feature way more than we anticipated! - PenPal profiles got a little clearer: Interests and Languages now have an actual Edit button in their section headings. Previously, you had to know that tapping one of the existing chips was somehow the secret way to edit the section. We thought we could do better. The profile is also ready to scroll immediately when you open it, rather than taking a brief moment to remember what it was supposed to be doing. - We’ve rewritten the one-time PenPal posting notice to make the important bits much harder to miss: PenPal lettres are public, replies aren't guaranteed, and Mailbox lettres are private. While browsing the PenPal Stack, we still highly encourage you to “start a conversation”; it’s the best way to begin a correspondence and you’re much likelier to get a reply! There’s someone on the other side of that lettre waiting for a response, exactly like you when you post a lettre to the PenPal Stack! A collection of little things, little fixes, and little improvements that hopefully make Lettre feel just a little nicer to use. As always, thank you to everyone who continues to write lettres, start conversations, report bugs, send us feedback, and generally make this strange little corner of the internet what it is. And, of course, a huge thank you to the members of the Pippin Supporters Club. Your support lets us keep building Lettre independently, ad-free for everyone, and on our own terms. We genuinely couldn't do this without you. Now go listen to our first music album release, write someone a lettre, and stay hydrated. See you soon.

So far it’s been so easy to use

So I made a reply letter to someone and it was so easy there was so much space on the digital paper it’s ad free which is gr8! I will make new reviews later though once I’m more used to the app

Love this

It really med more cropping options, like free hand cropping to make stickers in the add a photo option

love it, but…

I love the idea of handwritten letters. Reading those open letters really makes me want to write one too. The only thing stopping me is that I’m a bit anxious about online interactions. If i can’t even choose what kind of people can receive my letters, I’ll always worry that someone who doesn’t understand me might send me a rude reply. So i’d really appreciate it if we could choose tags or limit who can see our open letters. I think people like me will feel a lot safer to share our thoughts here.

Response from developer

Hi there and thank you so much for such a thoughtful feedback! This is a great perspective that we appreciate and love! So much so that going forward, this will 100% be a point we consider when deciding on changes and enhancements related to the PenPal stack. We sincerely hope you will be able to see these changes slowly make their way into the app sooner than later (we update quite regularly). Till then, thank you so much for being a part of our journey and for this wonderful review! PS; Please feel free to "start a conversation" with any of the PenPal lettres you see in your stack; there's a button to start a conversation directly from the lettre view (underneath the 'heart' button). That way, you will know exactly who you're writing to. Additionally, you can always invite people you know into the platform using the "send lettre as an email" or an invite link! Not an excuse; just suggesting some potential options you might have missed!
