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.

Send a message by carrier pigeon. It flies at 110 mph and takes about a day to cross the country. The route is real. Los Angeles to New York is 2,445 miles, which at pigeon speed is about 22 hours. The bird leaves the moment you press send and declines to hurry. You can watch it the whole way. Every pigeon currently in the air appears on a globe you can spin, and you can follow any of them home, though you cannot read what they are carrying. Nineteen things can go wrong on the journey. A bagel may be found. A fight may be lost with a reflection in a hubcap. The message always arrives, late, with an apology. There is no account and no sign-up. Whoever you send the link to is the only person who can read the note, and everything is deleted after seven days. You can pay to make one go faster. A jetpack is then issued.
