About

TeaPod

Features
Read full description

TeaPod is for the people you actually talk to. Instead of texting a novel, or letting months slip by, you press one button and talk. Send it to your closest people, a few friends, or just to yourself. They listen when life allows: over coffee, on a walk, in line at the store. They can write you a note back or record their own update, and the conversation keeps going at your pace. No rush. A few things we care about: Jot private notes while you listen; they reappear when you reply, so you never forget to mention something when you reply. Nobody joins without a yes. Sharing a link never connects anyone automatically. Both sides agree first. Recordings go only to the people you chose. Export everything, or erase everything, anytime. TeaPod is free. If you want to help keep it running, there is a one-time supporter option inside. Pour a cup. Press record. Someone you love would rather hear your voice.
