Oulak: Slow Messaging

Write a letter. A bird carries it the real distance to someone you know. Watch it fly, then wait for it to land. The bird is part of the letter. It wears the outfit you chose, and that is the first thing your friend sees when it lands. Dress it, name it, send it. Oulak is slow messaging for the people who live far away. A letter across town lands in minutes. A letter across a country takes an afternoon. Nothing is instant, and that is the point. HOW A LETTER TRAVELS Choose a bird and write your letter. Every bird has its own speed, carries a different amount of text and waits a different time for an answer. Watch it fly. The flight time comes from the real distance between you, and birds fly a little slower at night. It lands and waits. Your friend opens the letter once the bird has arrived. Answer in time and the bird carries your reply home. ELEVEN BIRDS, EACH WITH A WARDROBE Pigeon, sparrow, owl, eagle, albatross, seagull, stork, crow, vulture, turtle dove and toucan. Give each one a name and dress it from the wardrobe: scarves, sunglasses, caps, bags, crowns and an outfit that belongs to that bird alone. Pigeon, sparrow and owl are free. FOR YOUR PEOPLE Write to friends, family and partners who live far away. You only write to people you add yourself, by username or invite. No strangers, no photos, text only. Sign in with Apple. You can block people, report letters and delete your account inside the app. Oulak asks for your location only to work out how far each bird has to fly. Other people see your city, your area and the distance, never your exact location. OULAK PREMIUM Sending letters is free with three birds.
