## What is Postcards?

Postcards is the simplest way to stay close to the people you care about. Each day, a small idea for what to say to someone in particular. A few lines, a photo if you like, and send it on.

How it works.
- Add the people who matter. The handful you want to stay close to. The ones you've been meaning to text, want to get to know better, or simply share moments with.
- Daily postcards to send. Ways to spark a conversation, each one picked just for you and your relationships. Add a few lines, a photo if you like, and send it on.
- Shared moments to rediscover. Look back at the moments that build your shared story.

What we believe.
- A small circle, tended with attention, is a full life.
- One real note outweighs a thousand likes.
- Reaching out, deliberately, compounds.

We're living through something we don't have a great name for yet. Loneliness isn't quite right. Most of us are surrounded by people. Disconnection is closer.

We have more ways to reach out than ever, yet somehow our relationships become an afterthought. Social media promised connection. What it delivered was something else: attention. Platforms built not to bring us closer to the people we love, but to keep us scrolling.

We used to send postcards.

A postcard wasn't sent on a whim. You chose one person. You thought about what to say. You took time. Receiving one meant you were thought of. Just you.

We want to bring it back. We hope you do too.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.8.4 — 2026-07-01

We rebuilt Postcards around the daily postcard.
• A redesigned home, with your people up top and today's postcard front and center
• Daily delivery: postcards arrive once a day, and a mailbag holds everything waiting for you
• New postcard templates and one composer for notes, captures, and scrapbook photos
• Memories: look back on every postcard you've sent and received, by date or by type
• Group invites: one link brings a whole group in
• Photo suggestions to help you find the right moment for a scrapbook postcard
• Faster throughout, plus a lot of small fixes

### 0.5.4 — 2026-05-24

Small changes to display and performance!

### 0.4.0 — 2026-05-18

- A bigger postcard library. A weekly shelf, collections to dip into, a for-you stack to swipe through, and a place for the ones you skip.
- Make the postcard yours. Draw, add stamps, and build a small collage right on the photo.
- Per-thread notifications. Each chat groups together, so a thread reads like a thread.
- The chat list and composer now move with the keyboard as one piece.
- Smaller fixes. The photo editor saves cleanly, custom postcards start blank, and image attachments no longer crash.

### 0.2.0 — 2026-05-11

We’ve made Postcards feel smoother, more expressive, and easier to use.

New in this update:

- Significantly more varied and improved Postcards options
- A refreshed postcard experience with improved layouts and cleaner presentation
- Better invite sharing and updated user-facing copy
- Emoji reactions on chat messages
- Tappable links, phone numbers, and emails in chat
- Search and sorting in the recipient picker
- Unread chat counts on the Chats tab
- Smoother messaging, refresh, swipe-to-reply, and notification behavior
- UI polish across onboarding, sheets, inputs, overlays, and chat lists

We also made a bunch of behind-the-scenes improvements to make the app faster, more reliable, and easier to keep improving.
