Slowly: A Different Way to Make Friends Around the World
Slowly is a free friendship app for those who seek meaningful connections, something often missing in today’s fast-paced world of instant messaging. Designed for people who appreciate depth over speed, Slowly connects you with pen pals around the world, one letter at a time.
Inspired by the traditional pen pal experience, Slowly’s unique feature is that the time it takes for letters to be delivered depends on the distance between you and your correspondent, ranging from hours to days. This slower pace encourages deeper conversations and thoughtful responses, making it a perfect place for introverts or anyone looking to form lasting friendships. It’s not about instant replies—it's about writing letters that are worth the wait.
Key Features:
DISTANCE-BASED DELIVERY
The time it takes to receive a letter depends on how far apart you and your new friend are, promoting meaningful, thoughtful exchanges.
2000+ UNIQUE STAMPS
Collect cultural and regional stamps from around the world as you write and receive letters.
ANONYMOUS AVATARS
Focus on conversation, not appearances, with anonymous profiles. Perfect for those who enjoy anonymous communication and want the freedom to express themselves openly.
FREE UNLIMITED LETTERS
Send and receive as many letters as you like for free, with optional paid features to enhance your experience.
Whether you're looking to meet new people, engage in a language exchange, or just share your thoughts without the rush of instant replies, Slowly is the perfect app to make global friends and rediscover the joy of letter writing. Find friends across borders and build friendships that last—one letter at a time.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
Back in the day, we trekked to the mailbox to grab bills, jury summonses, and, if we were lucky enough, letters from pen pals. Slowly brings the excitement of waiting for a letter to your Home Screen. Match with people from around the world who share your interests and send letters that often take days to deliver and receive. Learn from new friends and their cultures—and practice patience as you tap “Send” and wait for a reply.
Amazing & Therapeutic!
SLOWLY is hands down one of my all time favorite services. I’ve always loved the idea of having a pen pal as a kid, never had one, but now I can as an adult. I can connect with people all over the world who ultimately and genuinely want to do the same thing, find new friends and people to connect with in a non threatening, safe, friendly and pleasant environment. I’ve never had a bad experience since using this app. I’ve had someone explain to me what helium is in detail out of the blue but that has been the strangest experience. As far as I know there aren’t any creeps lurking and the people on here really are looking to learn about you as an individual and share experiences and stories. It’s also a great therapeutic outlet to be able to open up to someone who could have completely different life experiences and yet still find common ground in those differences and provide support. The ability to choose topics of interest and match with people solely on that, and not on looks or other “vain” parameters is amazing. I especially enjoy the fact that it operates like actual letter writing, simulating letter delivery times. It really helps curb the instant gratification feeling. And the stamp feature is pretty neat as well. I’d recommend this app to anyone truly looking to find me friends from all over the world. SLOWLY is really helping me build a global network of friends.
making real friends in the modern generation
Whoever created this app thank you genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I’m emotional-I really mean it!! This app is the real deal but that being said, it takes effort to get to know each other. Our culture today is so much about ghosting or flaking out! I have downloaded countless friendship apps and it’s a week of instant chatting never to hear back again or many apps is anxiety inducing because of picture and people wanting to talk to you just because of how you look! Sometimes I get reached out just because of how I look, and nothing else, it’s frustrating :( I have always craved wholesome, deep and genuine friendships and this is the first app where I feel like I’m connecting with real people. The avatars are so cute and people are on this platform because they too crave real friendship which is a win win! I’m really grateful to the creator of this app, it’s so innovative to bring pen pal into a modern app! I have been feeling lonely and depressed during quarantine but tbh my whole life and this app actually gives me hope!! I hope the app continues to stay have a free version! I have met a few incredible people already and I can’t wait to make friends all around the world!
