A little love, in a postcard. “Thank you for today.” “I can’t wait to see you again.” With postin, turn your favorite photos and a few heartfelt words into a digital postcard for the person you love. Share it through LINE. Your partner can open it in their browser—no app download or account needed. After a date. On a day you wish you could be together. For a birthday or anniversary. Give them a little something to open, smile at, and cherish. ■ Make it yours Add a photo, write a message, and decorate your postcard with handwriting, drawings, and stickers. A stamp is already in place, so you can start creating right away. You can swap it for another one, too. ■ Share through LINE Create a link to your postcard and send it through LINE. Your partner simply opens the link to view the card in their browser—even if they don’t use postin. ■ Open now, or save the surprise Let your partner open the card right away, or choose the date and time it becomes available. Make it a surprise for midnight on their birthday or the morning of your anniversary. Note: Scheduling sets when the postcard can be opened. It does not automatically send a LINE message. Please share the link with your partner in advance. ■ Try your first postcard Create and send a postcard in the tutorial without using a stamp. Start with a photo you love and something you’ve been meaning to say. ■ Stamps and subscriptions Regular postcard sending and share-link creation use stamps. Additional stamps are available through in-app purchases. An optional subscription includes unlimited sending, subscriber-exclusive stationery, and desk backgrounds. Receiving and viewing postcards is free. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

Your message will not simply appear. It will arrive. Postfolk is a different kind of messaging app - one where messages become letters, couriers carry them across real journeys, and your friends wait for them to arrive. Write something meaningful. Choose the envelope. Pick a courier. Then send your letter on its way. Instead of appearing instantly in another inbox, your letter travels toward its destination. Follow the journey on the map, see your courier making progress, and wait for the moment it finally arrives. *** MESSAGING WITH A JOURNEY IN BETWEEN Every letter has somewhere to go. Distance and delivery time become part of the experience instead of disappearing behind an instant notification. *** YOUR OWN COURIERS Choose the courier who carries your letters. Each has their own personality and style, making every journey feel a little more personal. *** A MAILBOX, NOT ANOTHER CHAT FEED Postfolk organizes your correspondence around the people you write to. Letters can be sent, received, revisited, and remembered without turning every conversation into an endless stream of bubbles. *** COMMUNICATION WITHOUT PRESSURE No typing indicators. No online status. No pressure to respond the moment something appears. Postfolk gives every message time to travel - and every person time to reply. *** WATCH THE JOURNEY Follow couriers across real routes and see incoming and outgoing letters making their way between postboxes. *** YOUR POSTAL WORLD Keep track of new arrivals, journeys in progress, your couriers, friends, and everything happening around your Post Office. Postfolk is for friends, families, couples, pen pals, and anyone who thinks communication can mean more when it asks a little less of us. Write when you have something worth sending. Postfolk - letters worth waiting for...
