So tell us
for the people you see too rarely.

A few questions by email. The answers become one letter for everyone.

Every few weeks. So you know again what's going on with the others.

Everyone answers when they have time: a sentence, a photo, a voice note. The letter arrives on a fixed day, for everyone at once. And the next time you call, you don't start from zero.

30 days free. Then €5 a month for your whole group. No card to start.

how it works

Three steps. Then you're in.

No app to install. No social network to manage. Just an email cadence that fits inside a busy life.

01

Start a group

Invite the people you want to hear from — parents, siblings, old friends, the housemates you never see anymore. Five people are included, each extra one is €1 a month.

02

Answer in your time

Every few weeks, three to five questions arrive by email. Not discussion questions, personal ones: what was harder than expected, who you missed. Reply with text, a photo, or a voice note. One sentence is enough. Skipping is fine too.

03

A letter arrives

On the send day, all the answers come back bundled into one quiet letter. Nothing pings. Nothing pushes. That's the whole point.

03 So tell us

What was harder than expected this week – and what was easier?

Bea · Hamburg, on Saturday

Harder: the washing machine, three floors, no lift. Easier: saying goodbye to the old flat. I thought I'd cry handing over the keys. I didn't. Then in the evening I sat on the floor of the new kitchen between boxes, because there wasn't a chair yet.

Jonas · Cologne, on the go

Harder: two weeks without the car, the garage is waiting for a part. Easier: cycling to work. I'm in no hurry to get the car back.

▶ Voice · 0:08

Klara · Berlin

Harder: tying my shoes. In the sixth month the bump is suddenly in the way. Easier: taking the seat when someone offers it on the train. I take it now.

"So tell us, how did the move go?"

The family knew Bea had moved. The washing machine, the three floors, the evening on the kitchen floor: that only came with the letter. And the next phone call starts right there.

The photos are real: Richard's, from before So tell us existed. Three of them show up again in the sample letter. In a real group, nobody outside sees any of this.

Sunset over Stockholm harbour
Stockholm. The last good May sunset.
Whitewater kayaking on the Soča
Soča in Slovenia — helmet on, grin on.

what it isn't

What it will never be.

A short list. Not preferences, constraints.

Not a social network.

No followers, no public profiles, no feed to scroll.

Your letters never train AI.

We use transcription to turn voice notes into text. That's the only AI in the loop, and it never sees your content twice.

Nothing pings on its own.

The email is the reminder. Push only if you switch it on yourself.

No streaks, no likes, no scoreboards.

Nothing to keep going. Nothing to compete with.

No ads. No sponsored questions.

The only money in the system comes from the person who paid for the group.

Hosted in Germany.

Servers in Germany. All subprocessors based in the EU. Your letters stay in the EU.

One person sets up the group and pays. Everyone else pays nothing.

Richard, founder
who's making this

Hi, I'm Richard.

I live in Munich, my family in Krefeld, 600 kilometres away. A weekend together every few months. In between, voice messages that sit unplayed on both sides.

You want to stay part of each other's lives, and that is exactly what everyday life swallows. At some point you don't even know what to ask. A few months ago I built this for us. Our group is my mum, my two sisters, my dad and my girlfriend. My dad likes reading along and almost never answers. That works too.

What surprised me: my girlfriend and I live together and talk a lot. Still, her answers kept holding something I didn't know. A thought from her childhood, or why she does a thing one way and not another. Dinner that evening picked up right there. Same with my sisters and my mum.

That's why the questions are the way they are: not discussion questions, personal ones. Whoever answers has taken a few minutes to think about their own week. You can tell when you read it. And you get to know the others a bit better, even the ones you see every day.

Now your group can have this too: family, old friends, the flat share from years ago. If something's broken or missing, I want to know. Write me:

So. Tell them.

Two minutes to set up. The first letter goes out one to two weeks later.
