Postmello

A quiet place for letters.

A private desk for digital letters with friends and family - without the rush of messaging.

Coming first to iPad.
Postmello on an iPad - a desk with a mailbox holding mail, a stack of writing paper and a pen, and a row of drawers named for each contact

Why Postmello

Staying in touch doesn’t have to start with texting.

Kids are getting access to technology earlier, and they want to stay close to their friends and family. Postmello is another place to start: letters they write and draw themselves, sent to people they know.

Design philosophy

Designed like a desk, not an app.

Looking like a desk was the easy part. The hard questions are the ones a real desk never has to answer: what happens to a letter mailed offline, or how a child writes back on top of someone else’s letter without that quietly becoming a way to forward it. The answers became rules - and the rules shaped Postmello more than the wood grain.
