A gracious public form
Recipients get a clean, mobile-friendly page to share their mailing details without signing up for anything.
What Dear Friends is all about
A warmer home for mailing lists and meaningful updates.
Dear Friends was made for the moments when keeping in touch deserves more care than a bare spreadsheet but less complexity than heavy-duty CRM software.
What you can do here
Gather mailing addresses through a simple public link, then keep everyone organized in a private dashboard designed around real correspondence.
Write one thoughtful letter, personalize it with names, and choose whether each contact should receive something handwritten, printed, or digital.
When it is time to send, export the formats you need or run quick verification check-ins to make sure every address still feels current.
One place for your people
Your dashboard keeps contacts, delivery preferences, and letter drafts together so seasonal mailings stay manageable.
Built for trust
Verification links help you keep addresses current, and the overall experience stays focused on simple, respectful communication.
How it feels
Calm, personal, and ready for real mail.
The project leans into the ritual of keeping an address book: warm colors, serif headlines, and a mailing flow that feels more like stationery than admin software.
That same tone carries through the share form and verification pages, so the people receiving your link get an experience that feels intentional instead of transactional.
Questions

Why not just use a spreadsheet?
