Slowly: Build Authentic Friendships at Your Own Pace

"In a world dominated by instant messaging, meaningful connections have become a rare luxury."

Slowly reimagines the art of correspondence, offering a unique way to make friends. Connect with penpals around the world and explore the beauty of cultural and linguistic exchange through thoughtfully written letters. Rediscover the joy of anticipation and dive into heartfelt, written conversations.

Designed for those who prefer to take their time and focus on genuine connections, Slowly brings back the charm of traditional penpals. Each letter takes time to arrive—anywhere from a few hours to a few days—depending on the distance between you and your new friend.

Ratings and reviews

My favourite thing about SLOWLY is the avatar. Much less intimidating than most other apps where you're basically trying to lure people in with a perfect selfie. The delivery time also makes things feel more relaxed. You can take your time responding without worrying about the other person waiting on you. They'll be waiting anyway! Interest options could use work. Very broad, and people seem to select too many. Are you actually interested, or did you just choose as many as it would let you?

A great experience for anyone who wants to send letters the old fashioned way. Especially great with stamp collecting. The hard part is keeping yourself patient, but that's our own fault. I wish we had more stamps to trade around, but it's not an issue. Maybe if we have more options for customizing letters by using signatures or paper colors or even designs on the paper itself. Maybe even choose what kind of font for those who really want to feel like an individual

I have a hard time wanting to text people because I have to be there 24/7, but with slowly the time the letter takes to arrive and be readable, I can relax. It actually made me have more friends than with all my other apps. I love how there's ton of people our age! I've always wanted to have a penpal, and now my dream came true! The people that I've been talking to are so nice. I also like how the app has the option to not talk to someone, so there's always the option!
