Shared vs private capsules
Private capsules are for you alone. Shared capsules let you seal a letter for a pen pal or friend to open later—perfect for birthdays, farewells, or long friendships.
Good use cases
Graduation wishes, long-distance encouragement, “open on your birthday,” or a note for a pen pal after a year of letters.
Etiquette tips
Ask before sending something deeply personal. Keep shared capsules warm and respectful; save private journals for yourself.
How it fits slow social
Shared capsules extend SlowInk’s delayed rhythm: write now, wait together, open later—without instant-chat pressure.
FAQ
Can pen pals reply to a shared capsule?
After unlock, you can continue the friendship with a normal letter. The capsule itself is the sealed moment.
Should every friendship use shared capsules?
No. Use them for milestones. Everyday connection still thrives on regular slow letters.
