Why send a text that arrives instantly when a pigeon could take 18 hours? Pigeon Dispatch is messaging, the slow way. Every message you send takes flight as a virtual carrier pigeon that travels across the real map at true pigeon speed. The farther away your friend lives, the longer they wait. That's the fun. SEND DISPATCHES Write your message, pick a friend, and release the bird. Your pigeon departs immediately and arrives... eventually. Arrival clocks count down in real time. TRACK EVERY FLIGHT Follow your carrier's exact position on a live map as it crosses mountains, deserts, and state lines. Get delay alerts when weather slows your bird down. Snow in the flight path? Your gossip will just have to wait. STAMP YOUR PASSPORT Every dispatch logs real miles. Collect the states and countries you've dispatched to, watch your total miles climb, and rise through the ranks of history's great message senders. BUILD YOUR FLOCK Import contacts straight from your phone and send a pigeon with a single tap. Group threads welcome. Pigeons are for lovers, after all. No algorithms. No read receipts staring you down. Just you, your friends, and a very dedicated bird.
