Hello hello! Another week, another load of updates!
This update is mostly under-the-hood. Even though there are some Quality of Life upgrades sprinkled across the board which you can see, most of the changes on this update - you can only FEEL.
So what’s new?
- Full lettre preview from PenPals: When visiting someone’s PenPal profile, now you can directly interact with their past lettres! Heart, save and start a conversation directly from a PenPal profile!
- Save PenPal Lettres: For some of the extra special PenPal lettres you want to reply to later (when you have the time), you can now SAVE them while browsing! Check the new “Save” button under the “Start conversation” button! These saved lettres can be found by tapping on your PenPal profile and selecting the new “saved lettres” option.
- New reaction-based notifications: Now you will know when someone “Heart”s one of your PenPal lettres! There are so many beautiful lettres people just want to show appreciation for, now it’s easier than before.
- Regular suspects: Bugs and crashes, big and small - fixed!
From our collective heart, thank you for being the absolute best part of this entire journey. Keep spreading love, creativity, and good vibes!
As always,
We Love You!

Hello lovelies! Not to brag but we went (somewhat) viral over the last weekend! (Cue the celebratory confetti GIF that we sadly can’t include here.)
To all our new members: Welcome aboard! We’re beyond excited to see the amazing connections, creativity, and sheer brilliance you’ll bring to our cozy little corner of the internet. To our old members, dw we love you just the same and always will
Now, onto the new stuff we are releasing with this update:
- Changes to PenPal profiles / Updating City and Country - Some of you pointed out that showing your city on PenPal profiles felt like “sharing too much with the world”. We heard you and made it optional! If you feel the same way, head over to your PenPals profile and you can remove*** or edit your cities and countries. Alternatively, you can remove the same information by visiting the Settings tab. Both settings should now be the same.
**We would still recommend keeping this information included to get the best experience out of the PenPal feature but hey, no pressure. Your privacy is sacred, and we don’t collect or share any personal data.
- Performance upgrade to PenPal listing: Our PenPal listing has undergone some major performance upgrades and should load exponentially faster than before. Especially for our friends outside the NA region, you should be seeing a massive change in pace. Head on over to the PenPals tab and see the difference yourself!
- Stability fixes to the overall app: Under-the-hood magic to squash bugs, fix crashes, and make everything run better than before. A noteworthy bug —> Fixed an issue where people could not sign up properly due to conflicting data from Google or Apple. Signing up or logging in should be infinitely more seamless now.

Hello hello!
We’ve got another exciting update for you this week, packed with features and fixes to make your experience even better (than last week).
Here’s what’s new:
- Seasonal Celebration: Free Stationery Set! To celebrate the end of the season and the year, we’re giving away a FREE limited-time stationery set (papers, envelopes, etc). Unlike stamps—which can be traded—stationery is a permanent upgrade to your account. Yours to keep forever, as long as you’re part of the Lettre family (we hope we get to stay 5ever)
- Reply-To Peek: A much-requested quality-of-life upgrade! We’ve all been there—struggling to remember what was on the lettre you’re replying to, shuffling back and forth between the inbox and your draft. Well, those days are over! Now, you can peek at “reply-to” lettres directly from the drawing canvas. Stay in the flow with seamless context as you craft your response—no more interruptions, no more hassle. Just pure, uninterrupted creativity. Just tap on the “Replying to name >” banner above your paper to get a full view of the lettre you are replying to.
- Unread/Unopened Lettre change: Unread mail now comes with a visual treat—see the envelope for every unopened lettre in your inbox before you read them for the first time (dw, you can also unread them if you like the effect too much).
- Post Office Glow-Up: The Post Office has hit leg day (finally!) and now sports a brand-new look. Stop by and see its fresh, polished makeover! If you like what you see, consider showing support for the idea and the team with a subscription or a pack of stamps!
- Color Picker for Envelope Fonts: Personalize your envelopes even more with the ability to choose colors for the fonts you choose. Let your creativity shine (brighter than before)!
- Smoother Writing Experience: Writing just got buttery smooth, even without an Apple Pencil! We’ve made under-the-hood improvements to ensure your creative flow remains uninterrupted, regardless of your access to an Apple Pencil.
- More Control with Attachments: Crop, rotate, and even sketch on your attachments—whether it’s images or stickers! Add that personal touch and make every lettre uniquely yours.
- Report Alert Improvements: Added a text box in the PenPal report alert menu for clearer communication when reporting issues. We want to make this space as safe as we possibly can and take this very seriously. Pippin doesn’t play around with this stuff.
- Seamless PenPal Profiles: Now you can view PenPal profiles directly from your inbox. Get to know your connections better with just a tap!
- Add to Address Book: Easily add new PenPals to your address book with the handy new button inside their profile.
- Advanced PenPal Filters: We’ve added more filtering options to help you find the perfect PenPal. Now you can filter by country and city while exploring PenPal lettres.
- Bug Fixes & Tweaks: As always, we’ve tackled pesky bugs and added small refinements to keep everything running smoothly.
This update is packed with features to help you customize, connect, and create with ease.
We are continuously working on improving the app and take feedback with utmost importance. Please feel free to get in touch with any type of feedback, ideas, issues or just a plain ol heart-to-heart. We'd love to hear from you.
Hoping to report back next week again!
Take it easy and have a great weeeeeeek!
PS: Don’t forget to grab your free stationery set before it’s gone!

Hello everyone,
The Lettre team is incredibly excited to share what we have been working on for the last couple of weeks! The app's 11th update — our most comprehensive yet — adds a whole new avenue for meeting, connecting and building relationships with new people!
This requires a little reintroduction —> Lettre.app is a handwriting-based messaging app built for the iPad and Apple Pencil. You can send hand-written digital correspondence to anyone, collect and exchange digital stamps created by independent artists and make PenPals across the world!
A "PenPal" is a friend you make by exchanging letters, often to explore new cultures and languages. Our PenPals feature is a new way to connect with people globally through handwritten letters on the iPad, reviving the charming tradition of pen-friendship in our hyper-connected age.
What’s new in this update?
Make PenPals across the world: If you don’t have someone in mind to send your lettre to, you can opt in to PenPals and select a continent after you’re done writing your letter. Your letter can be read by someone from that continent who can also write back to you, making it easier to meet new people! You can also visit the “PenPals” tab to read handwritten lettres sent by others from around the world and if you like a lettre, you can write back to them.
Unparalleled writing / doodling experience: The writing experience is better than ever thanks to all the upgrades we made during the last 6 months. This includes additional stationery, better quality papers, saving lettres as photos, better security / privacy and of course, being able to attach images and even draw on them!
Better immersion: With every lettre, now you also get an envelope (just like the real world). You can preview and customize these envelopes, adding a new dimension to making each lettre your own! With our new PenPals feature, collecting stamps from other parts of the world is easier than ever — just connect with a PenPal from your desired continent! Among other subtle tweaks to the handwriting and postal experience, we added sound effects and sprinkled some fun stuff across the board that we want you to find
The Post Office: We have our own retail stamp store selling digital stamps now! You can directly support up-and-coming independent artists by purchasing stamps from the Post Office. The latest stamp packs are by BotAgainstHumanity and Natishitoshno—along with a supporters pack! Check out our website for more info!
Getting started: New users will find the “Tips” tab extremely helpful in getting started smoothly. For anything else, just write to us (yes, now you can write directly to us from the app).
Since our initial launch, we've come a long way but there's still a long way to go. With your love and support, it should be a fun journey towards more in-depth letter writing and exchanging features.
Thank you on behalf of the enture Lettre.app team

The team has been busy toiling away under the sun in preparation for our upcoming launch on ProductHunt. To make that as smooth as possible, we are releasing a bunch of quality of life (QoL) upgrades. This includes small tweaks and improvements across the board along with some bug fixes. Your writing experience is now better than ever.
-
Hullo hullo!
The under-construction sign at the Lettre Post Office was torn off by Pippin in a fit of rage last week after he complained about seeing the same stamps over and over on lettre envelopes. As a result, we were forced to accelerate construction of the stamp store to satiate our fidgety delivery bird—this means you all get new stamps to purchase, and two new artist collaborations. Image attachments to lettres might burden Pippin beyond his carrying capacity but he says he’s up for the challenge, so just let him have it.
Here are the detailed updates:
Our stamp store is fully launched with three new stamp collections — Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by the Lettre team, and for the first time ever, two artist collabs! Find the Post Office in app and check out what BotAgainstHumanity and Natishitoshno have for you.
Insert image functionality for every lettre, along with nifty control and “draw over” options that let you fully deck out your message to a friend or penpal. Been travelling and want to regale your friends and family with a visual journal of your adventures? Start adding from your camera roll and fill in the blanks by drawing on them to your heart’s content.
Various quality of life updates, mostly focusing on Signature functionality to ensure you have greater control over how you sign off every lettre.
Various bug fixes and improvements.
-
Heylo!
Lettre’s latest updates include a few nifty features that make life easier for our PenPals and give you more control over the lettres you draft. Pippin’s mailbag has been quite full recently, and we thank all of our users for validating our idea for a digital handwritten messaging experience. Keep writing!
Here are the detailed updates:
Quality of life changes — to the overall writing experience, including several hidden features and usability tweaks.
Sender signatures — add personalized post-scripts and signs and use it in every lettre if you wish.
Improved inbox and outbox experience — sender info, sent email address, loading screens and higher fidelity (among other things).
Save every lettre — as photos or PDF, to your device; if you wish to do so.
Various sound effects — added throughout the app for greater "immersion" and "oomph".
Better reporting for errors.

Howdy!
Lettre has updates for you. Pippin the Pigeon has been busy delivering all your lettres to penpals and regular pals all across the world, and based on valuable feedack we’ve received from all you birdy birds, we’ve made sure to adjust the user experience of penpals and make life easier for Pippin in the process.
As always, thank you for your interest in Lettre, our love letter to letters.
The Updates
Changes to PenPals: More refined matching for PenPals and changes to the user experience journey for PenPal users.
Supporter’s Stamp Pack: We have a special pack for Pippin! Show us some love if you like our idea, or buy Pippin some breadcrumbs…either way, this pack is the best way to give us your much needed support.
Bug fixes and performance improvements: Stamped out some bugs and gave Pippin’s wings a thorough cleaning for maximum airspeed**.**
Updated tip videos: Now with pointers for tap locations and overall improved experience.

Hi there!
If you’re reading this, then we assume you’re already using Lettre, our love letter to letters, deliberate communication, and collecting. Pippin is proud of you earlybirds, and we can safely say you folks are the OGs. Thank you <3
If you’re not using Lettre yet, thanks anyway for being interested enough in our idea to be reading a random release note.
But yes, we have got updates for you!
The Updates
Tip videos : We are seeing a number of users coming to the platform and want to make sure everyone is comfortable using all of the features we have included at launch. To help with that, we have added video tips in critical parts of the app.
Reply from inbox : When you receive a letter from a friend or penpal, you should now see an option to reply to them directly from the letter you received from them – no need to start a new draft of a new letter.

Hi there!
If you’re reading this, then we assume you’re already using Lettre, our love letter to letters, deliberate communication, and collecting. Pippin is proud of you earlybirds, and we can safely say you folks are the OGs. Thank you <3
If you’re not using Lettre yet, thanks anyway for being interested enough in our idea to be reading a random release note.
But yes, we have got updates for you!
The Updates
Tip videos : We are seeing a number of users coming to the platform and want to make sure everyone is comfortable using all of the features we have included at launch. To help with that, we have added video tips in critical parts of the app.
Reply from inbox : When you receive a letter from a friend or penpal, you should now see an option to reply to them directly from the letter you received from them – no need to start a new draft of a new letter.
