A new kind of presence
Sometimes love is the reason you stay quiet.
Let's Metta is for the thoughts that have nowhere to go.
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.
For them: a quiet record of who cared and when — a spike when they were sick, a peak on their birthday. For everyone: a live picture of what the world is holding right now.
Three ways
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.
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.
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.
Why we built this
"Metta" is an ancient Pali word for loving-kindness —
the act of wishing someone well without expecting anything back.
Most social apps are built around reciprocity. You post, you get likes. You message, you wait for a reply. Every action creates a social debt.
Let's Metta is different. When you send a metta, you let go. You don't know if they saw it. You don't get a notification when they open the app. You just thought of someone — and that thought went somewhere.
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.
Right now
Live. No opinions. No likes. Just the weight of collective thought.
Private. Anonymous. Yours alone.
Let's Metta is launching soon. Leave your email and we'll let you know.
No spam. No social pressure. That would kind of miss the point.
