How it works

Three steps to slower, better email

1

Claim your address

Sign up and pick a unique address on our domain, like you@longlatency.com. This is your slow mail identity.

2

Invite a friend

Send an invitation to someone you want to exchange slow mail with. Pick a distance for the connection — either of you can change it later.

3

Write and wait

Email their Dear Patience address from your real email. Your message travels the distance you set — then arrives in their real inbox.

Like a letter riding the mail train
