Let's Metta is an anonymous "I thought of you today" button. You think of people more often than you ever say — a song, a memory, a passing thought. Most apps turn that into an obligation: a message to write, a reply to wait for. Let's Metta removes all of it. One tap. The recipient sees a number — never who, never how. Built on the Pali idea of metta: wishing someone well without expecting anything back. No feed, no replies, no ads, no tracking. Just a silent hug.
Hi PH 👋
I built Let's Metta because of a small, recurring frustration: I'd think of someone — a friend going through something, an ex-colleague I respected, my mum on a random Tuesday — and the thought would just… evaporate. A message felt like too much. A like felt like nothing. So I'd say nothing, and the thought would disappear.
It turns out almost everyone I asked has this. We think of people far more often than we ever say.
Let's Metta is a button for those thoughts.
- One tap. No message to write, no emoji to pick.
- The recipient sees a number — never your name, never a hint of who.
- No feed, no replies, no social graph, no ads, no tracking. Ever.
- Sign in with just your email — no password, no app store.
The name comes from metta, the Pali word for loving-kindness — the practice of wishing someone well without expecting anything back. That's the whole design philosophy. Most apps run on reciprocity (you post, you get likes; you message, you wait for a reply). Every action creates a small social debt. Let's Metta removes that entirely. When you send one, you let go. That's not a bug — that's the point.
Three ways to use it:
- Private — share your personal link with people in your life. They see when people carry them, never who.
- Public — tap a shared moment (a crisis, a cause, a piece of news) to mark "I was thinking about this too."
- One-time link — for someone outside the app: generate a link, send it however you want, expires in 7 days.
This is an independent project. No VC, no investors, no plan to sell your data. The core stays free forever; a future paid tier will offer deeper personal stats for those who want them.
I'd genuinely love to hear what you think — especially the skeptical takes. Does the "anonymous, no-reply" model resonate, or does it feel like it's missing something? And: who's the first person that came to mind when you read this?
Thanks for taking a look 🙏
