DEAR SOMEONE NEW,

Let’s not begin with “Hey.”
Let’s begin with something worth reading.

SlowHi is a letter-based social app for getting to know people gradually. Discover someone, write a letter, wait for a reply, and let the conversation unfold — one thoughtful exchange at a time.

SlowHi gives conversations room to breathe.

There are no typing indicators and no pressure to reply immediately. You can slow down, choose your words, and respond when you have something you genuinely want to say.

No recipient — a stranger picks this up.
A tram in Lisbon, a level crossing in Kyoto — tell me about a place where your city stops being in a hurry. I will wait for the answer; that is rather the point of writing to a stranger this way. Ours is the slow post, and I have all week. Mine is a street where the tram brakes on the hill every eleven minutes, and the bakery below opens at five for nobody but the drivers. I sit there with coffee and pretend to read. Tell me yours, and take as long as you like about it. I am not going anywhere, and neither is the post. Write when the day has quieted down and you have something you actually want to say.

DAY 1

Start with words

Explore profiles and discover people through their interests, languages, and stories. When someone catches your attention, the first step is simple: write them a letter. Every new connection begins this way.

1Attach one photo — hall letters always travel with an image.
2Write at your own pace — save it and finish the letter tomorrow if you like.
3Send, then wait. When the answer comes, your bond counts day one.
DAY 2 TO DAY 29

Keep writing

Receive replies. Share stories. Ask better questions. Each letter becomes part of your shared history, allowing familiarity and trust to grow naturally over time. There are no shortcuts through this part — and that is the point.

DAY 30

Another door
opens.

After your connection reaches 30 days, one-to-one video calling becomes available. You begin with letters. What happens next is a choice for both of you.

Common questions

Can I pay to unlock video sooner?+

No. The thirty days are filled by writing only, and no purchase shortens them.

Why doesn't my letter arrive instantly?+

Because the wait is the experience. Delivery is delayed by distance, and instant chat will never exist here.

Which languages are supported?+

The whole app is available in English, Türkçe and 中文, switchable at any time from the Me tab.

So, where should we begin?

Perhaps with a place you still think about. A song you never skip. A question you have always wanted to ask someone far away.

Write it down. Send it somewhere new. Give the reply time to arrive.
