For the people who raised you

They taught you
to write. Let's
write back.

Dear Mum turns a few lines from you into a real, handwritten letter — mailed straight to your loved ones' letterbox on the birthdays and anniversaries you'd hate to forget.

You're on the list. We'll be in touch before launch — thank you.

To: Mum

Dear Mum, Spring's here early — the garden's gone mad. Dad would've loved the tomatoes. Ring me when you get this. Love always, Alice

Why paper, still

Your mum doesn't scroll through her phone looking for you.

A text gets read once and buried. A letter gets propped on the mantelpiece, read again on a quiet afternoon, and kept in a drawer. For a lot of loved ones in their seventies and eighties, that's still how they measure being thought of.

You don't have to find the time to sit down and write. You tell us what's going on — two minutes, from your phone — and we turn it into a real letter in real ink, ready to post on the date it needs to arrive.

How it works

Three steps. About the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

01

Tell us who and when

Add your loved ones' birthdays, your anniversary, Mother's and Father's Day. We'll remind you before each one.

02

Tell us what, and we write it by hand

Tell us what you'd like to say—through a voice note, text message, or just a few bullet points. We can turn even the simplest thoughts into a heartfelt letter.

Our AI-guided handwriting robot uses a real pen to recreate your unique handwriting on real paper, producing a letter that feels authentic and personal.

The result is a letter that feels genuinely personal—not a printed font designed to look handwritten.

You'll review and approve the final letter before it's sent.

03

It lands in their letterbox

Stamped, addressed, and posted — not an inbox they forget to check. A real letter in the mailbox to cherish.

See it for yourself

A writing robot and AI trained on your own handwriting — we can show you the pen strokes to prove it.

No two letters look alike, the same way no two people's handwriting does. Our robot, guided by AI that's learned your natural slant, spacing and rhythm, writes every letter in a hand that's recognisably yours — before your first letter goes out.

To: Nana

Happy 80th, Nana. Eighty years and you still beat me at cards every time. See you Sunday. Love, Tom

Example letter for illustration — not an actual customer letter.

Questions

Good to know

Every letter is physically written with a pen by a writing robot we've built ourselves — real ink, real pressure variation, real paper. It's guided by AI trained to replicate the sender's exact handwriting, not a typeface. You'll be able to see the difference immediately when it's in your hand.

We use AI to learn the shape, slant and rhythm of your own handwriting from a short sample, then our writing robot reproduces it with a real pen on real paper. Each letter also includes a discreet note that it was crafted with support from DearMum.co.nz.

You can write as little as a few bullet points about what's been going on, and we'll help shape it into a letter in your voice. You always get to review and edit before anything is written or sent.

Yes — you'll get a preview to approve before it goes to print and post. Nothing is mailed without your sign-off.

We're starting with delivery across New Zealand. If you'd like us to post further afield, tell us when you sign up — it helps us prioritise where to expand next.

We're taking early access sign-ups now while we finish testing the handwriting hardware. Founding members will be the first to send a letter and will keep early-access pricing.

Your loved ones kept every card you ever sent them.
