Lettre: Old-School Emails
Me and technology, much like my sister, have a love-hate relationship.
I love iPads. Clearly.
I also hate boring tech.
That’s why I don’t like Windows. Also helps that my tech, unlike half of the world, doesn’t randomly shut down.
Don’t worry. I won’t waste any more of your time trying to make a weird joke about Crowdstrike. You need to get along with your day and I need to go falcon-watching.
What Is Lettre?
It’s essentially an email app. But with handwritten letters. And stamps.
It’s a pretty new app. Only a few ratings on the App Store, though it is one of the few apps I have ever seen with a perfect 5-star rating. I only found out about it through this video.
It’s free to use. Only in-app purchases (I think) are stamp packs.
How To Use Lettre
First, you gotta create an account.
Then, let the magic begin by clicking Compose.
Then, when you’re ready to go, click the paper airplane button in the top right corner.
Lettre has a built-in Pen Pals thing, but it means someone else has to have the app. I don’t have any other iPad nerd friends, so I sent my letter as an email.
You even get to pick a stamp.
Click the Send button, and you should be good to go.
Would I Use Lettre?
Nah. Probably not.
It’s a cool app. And it’s free for 99% of what you need. But I don’t need it.
If someone gave me this app when I was 10, however, my answer would probably be a little different.
Final Thoughts.
Neat app. I’m too Gen Z, so it’s not really for me. But cool nonetheless.
Thanks for reading!

Concepts
Concepts is an "unlimited canvas" note-taking app I've used for years (if you don't believe me, check my post history). I use it to take notes, brainstorm article ideas, and come up with startup ideas.
It's one of the few apps I highly recommend for every iPad user out there. And I genuinely believe this (again, check my post history if you wanna verify this claim).
Concepts has been kind enough to offer a free 30-day trial. And no, you don't have to enter your credit card info.
