- Parents seeking screen-light pen pals for children
- Worth noticing
- The site says children under 13 have no login; parents scan, approve, and release letters, and both families must consent to an identity reveal.
Field notes
The described flow puts the parent in the app: they create the account, scan and approve outgoing pages, can hold incoming letters, and can pause or end a match. The site says letters are paired by age band, screened for personal details and unkind content, and escalated to a person when uncertain. It also says scans are deleted 90 days after delivery; the homepage currently invites families to a waitlist.
