hey postcard - digital postcards - delivered tomorrow morning at a random time between 8 -10 AM

by•
Hey Postcard is a slow messaging app for people who matter. Instead of sending another instant message, write a digital postcard. It arrives the next morning at a random time, bringing back that little feeling of waiting for something special. We built Hey Postcard because meaningful conversations shouldn’t get lost between notifications, group chats, and everyday noise. Write. Send. Wait for the postman. 💌

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We’re Mihir and Heli, the makers of Hey Postcard. The idea came from a simple feeling: even though we have more ways than ever to stay connected, conversations with people we care about often feel less meaningful. Everything is instant. Messages get buried. Notifications keep coming. And sometimes a thoughtful message becomes just another message in the chat. So we built Hey Postcard. Instead of sending another instant message, you write a digital postcard. It gets delivered later, and the receiver gets that little feeling of waiting for something made just for them. We wanted it to feel calm, personal, and a little special, like receiving a real postcard, but made for today. Hey Postcard is still very early, and that’s why launching here feels exciting for us. We’d genuinely love to know: Does receiving a message later make it feel more special to you? And if you try Hey Postcard, please tell us what you liked, what felt confusing, or what you’d change. Thank you for checking out something we’ve put a lot of care into. ❤️

 hahaha! right! The app feels so nostalgic.

That was one of our goals: to make the app experience really good :)

Thank you for your comment!

  going to try hey postcard soon.
Good luck guys!

Maker

   thank you so much :)

I like the idea! Constant availability gets exhausting anyway, so taking a break from endless messaging feels pretty nice. Wondering how that waiting actually feels day to day and how it lands with friends. Congrats on the launch! :)

Hey Postcard is not here to replace WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram or any other messaging app.
It's for those thoughtful special messages that you want to tell someone.
Those kinds of messages get lost in everyday conversations. If I am using Hey Postcard, I can go back to those messages and read them again.

P.S. It feels so good when you start writing a postcard. You want to write what you actually feel. That's how I felt using my own app, haha!

Hey Etienne, thanks for the feedback, and I am glad you like the idea.

Personally, what i do:
if I need to share something immediately, I use WhatsApp.
But if I want to talk about something deep, like how life is going, how i am feeling nowadays, or something more thoughtful, I use hey postcard.

I also feel that a 'happy birthday' wish also gives a good experience and feels like a little surprise. I sent my partner Heli a letter on her birthday last month on 11th july with the feeling that how i am lucky to have her in life and she is so special to me, which made her day :)

Been an active user of Hey Postcard for about a month now, and I absolutely love how thoughtful the whole idea and the app experience is! I have been writing letters to my friends and being able to have that human touch of waiting, seeing the letter be sent out and for them to be opened is lovely!

Great work on building this wonderful app! ❤️

 thank you, buddy, for support and feedback since the start :)

Interesting app, it feels more authentic than just generic msgs and WhatsApp forwards. Congrats on the launch Mihir and Heli!

Maker

 thank you so much :)

 thanks musharof, please dm me your in app postal code in X or on telegram. I would love to write some letters to you.

This feels very similar to Daily Postcard, just with a different UI. Curious to know what the key differentiator is.

Maker

 In Daily Postcard app, you can write letters to anyone around the world. When in Hey Postcard app, you send it to your people. The contacts and postcards are private to you.

Mohamed, you are right. UI/UX is one of the differentiators.
Another thing Heli said is: it's not for all. hey postcard is private. For your family and friends.
The major point is Hey Postcard is more focused on meaningfull conversation, while other app is more towards making friends (social networking).

congrats on the launch of the app! Glad to be among the first few users to use the app! It really felt like writing a secret letter to someone and awaiting their reply! All the best! Cheers!!
