## Description

**Dearyou - Anonymous Penpal** is a slow-paced letter exchange app for connecting with strangers through anonymous messages. Send and receive letters without sharing names or ages, then become letter friends when someone opens your message and continue replying with optional photo attachments.

Send airmail across language barriers with automatic translation, create time capsules for your future self, and personalize letters with paper, envelopes, stamps, stickers, and handwriting fonts. Topic Ideas help inspire your next letter, while automated screening, reporting, and blocking tools support a safer community. The app also includes dark mode, 15-language support, and an optional Subscription Pass with fewer ads, faster writing access, waived express fees, and premium decoration items.
