## What is Penpal?

Write meaningful letters and watch it route through a virtual network

Postal is for couples, close friends, and anyone who wants something slower and more meaningful than texting. Type a thoughtful note or handwrite one with Apple Pencil. Stamp it, send it through a virtual postal network, and watch it travel facility by facility until it arrives.

WHY POSTAL IS DIFFERENT
• Tools to handwrite your letter, not just sending chats back and fourth
• You don't have a "handle", you get virtual mailboxes to receive letters 
• Easily save addresses of your pen pals to keep the letters flowing
• Each letter follows a realistic route as it flows through the network 
• Meaningful by design. The anticipation make each letter feel intentional
• Send it later. Optionally hold a letter sealed until a later date. 

HOW IT WORKS
1. Claim your mailbox at a post office
2. Add someone by scanning their invite or looking up their mailbox
3. Write your letter
4. Select when it can be opened
5. Track it as it moves through the network

PERFECT FOR
• Couples in long-distance relationships
• Close friends who want to stay connected in a more personal way
• Pen pals, near or far
• Birthdays, anniversaries, and moments worth a handwritten letter and not a chat bubble

POSTAL PLUS
Upgrade for unlimited sends, more mailboxes, detailed tracking notifications, and exact unlock times with route estimates.
Download Postal and send something worth opening.
