Wishes by Hand
For People You Care About
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
When a call feels too formal and a text feels too bare, write a few words by hand and turn them into a card worth sending.
Wishes by Hand is a handwriting app for quiet human reconnection.
When a phone call feels too formal, a text feels too bare, and a physical card feels too much, Wishes by Hand gives you a lighter way to reach out. Write a few words by hand, turn them into a beautiful small card, and send them to your parents, your family, an old friend, or someone you have been meaning to message.
WRITE SOMETHING SMALL, BUT REAL
You do not need to write a long letter. A short greeting, a birthday wish, an "I am okay," a "thought of you," or a line for your parents can already carry real warmth when it is written in your own hand.
HANDWRITING THAT HELPS YOU CARE
Write with your finger or Apple Pencil and watch your handwriting appear in a brush-like ink style on rice paper. Gentle practice tools, tracing, replay, and instant feedback help you write with more confidence when you want your card to feel especially thoughtful.
TURN HANDWRITING INTO A CARD WORTH SENDING
Choose a warm visual theme, combine your handwritten words with a personal message, and share in one tap through Messages, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram and more. It feels warmer than chat, but lighter than a long letter or a formal call.
RECONNECT WITHOUT OVEREXPLAINING
A quiet letter-writing mode helps you reach out to parents, mentors, old friends, and the people you miss. A relationship map keeps a gentle memory of who you have written to, so care does not disappear into the chat scroll.
FOR FESTIVALS AND ORDINARY DAYS
Mid-Autumn, Qixi, birthdays, "long time no message," "hope you are well," and the small moments when a handwritten note says more than a forwarded sticker.
