Simpler than a message. More honest than a like.
Sometimes love is the reason you stay quiet.
Let's Metta is for the thoughts that have nowhere to go.
A silent hug — sent without asking for one back.
No password. No feed. Nothing expected back.

Something small brings someone to mind — a song, a place, a passing thought. The trigger is too small to explain. But the thought is real.
You think of someone every day. But reaching out feels like adding to their load rather than lightening it. So you say nothing. The thought disappears.
There are people you care about in contexts where saying so would be inappropriate. The boundary is right. The care is still real.
Some relationships drift — through time, distance, or something left unsaid. The thought is still there. The door feels closed.
The thought was real. It just had nowhere to go.
Until now.
How it works
Let's Metta removes everything that makes expressing a thought feel like a social obligation.
Someone crosses your mind. Or a feeling you recognize but can't quite name. Either way — there's something there worth marking.
No message to write. No emoji to pick. No caption needed. The tap is the thought — directed at a person, or joined to a shared theme.
For someone you know: they see that someone thought of them today — not who, just that someone did. For a shared feeling: your thought joins others feeling the same.
Over time they see when people carry them. A spike when they were sick, a peak on their birthday. That pattern isn't meant to replace a real call. It's often what makes you finally pick up the phone.
Three ways
Public
Tap a public topic to mark your presence — a crisis, a moment in history, a cause. Not a like. Not an opinion. Just: I was thinking about this too.
Private
Share your personal link with the people in your life. When you think of them, tap. They see the number grow — never the names.
One-time
Not everyone is on Let's Metta. Once you have a profile, you can generate a one-time link and share it however you want — a message, an email, a note. They click it and see one thing. No account needed on their end. No name revealed. The link expires after 7 days.
The idea behind it
"Metta" is an ancient Pali word for loving-kindness —
the act of wishing someone well without expecting anything back.
Most apps are built around reciprocity. You post, you get likes. You message, you wait for a reply. Every action creates a small social debt. Let's Metta removes that entirely. When you send a metta, you let go. That's not a bug. That's the whole point.
Think of it like an anonymous donation — except what you're giving is a thought. The recipient knows someone gave. They just don't know who.
From the beta
"I sent one to a friend who's been going through something. She'll never know it was me — and somehow that makes it feel more honest."
How your privacy is protected
Senders stay anonymous
The recipient sees a number. Never a name, never a username, never a hint of who it was.
No social graph
The app never builds a map of who knows who. Connections exist only in your own device.
No password, no tracking

Questions
If it's free, am I the product?
No. This is an independent project — no venture capital, no investors to answer to. The core experience (sending and receiving thoughts) stays free forever. A future paid tier will offer deeper personal statistics for people who want them. That's the whole model: pay for insight, not for connection. No ads. No data sold. Ever.
Can someone find my profile and tap me without permission?
No. Your profile isn't searchable. The only way someone can send you a thought is if you share your personal invite code with them directly — outside the app. You control who gets that code.
Why not just send a message?
A message creates an obligation — the recipient feels they should respond, and you might feel pressure to say something meaningful. A metta has no reply. It asks nothing back. That's exactly the point: some thoughts are real without needing to become a conversation.
What does the recipient actually see?
Just a number: how many people thought of them today, this week, this month. No names. No hints. The anonymity isn't a limitation — it's what makes the number feel warm instead of awkward.
Is this free?
Sending and receiving thoughts is always free — forever. No ads, no data sold. A future paid tier will offer deeper personal statistics for people who want them, but the core experience stays free.
I never know if it landed. Isn't that frustrating?
That's the whole design. You don't send a metta to feel confirmed — you send it because the thought was real. The act of sending is the thing. A silent hug doesn't need a receipt.
Won't the receiver feel anxious about not knowing who it was?
Some might, briefly. But what they see is a pattern: a number that grows around their birthday, a spike on a hard week, a quiet stream of people who carry them without saying so. That turns "who?" into "someone." Which is often all you need to know.
The app is open. One tap is enough.
