Posty Crumbs
For families and friends
Some things belong at a place, not in a chat.
A message in a group chat is read in four seconds and scrolled past. The same words, waiting at the door of her new office on the morning she starts, are something else entirely.
Free, and almost none of it is public. Most of what families leave is for one person or one group.
What people actually leave
How do families and friends use Posty Crumbs?
Not posts. Things left for particular people, at particular places.
A message for one person
Leave you've got this at her office before the first day. Leave a prayer at a temple someone you love may not reach for years. They can see it from anywhere, but standing there changes it.
A circle for the family
Your family, your oldest friends, the group you travel with. Crumbs only they can find, at the places you all know.
The same spot, years apart
At the Eiffel Tower you open the place and see your friend's photo from two years ago. You recreate it and add yours. Later, your kids stand there and see you both.
A bench, a lawn, a corner
A crumb for the person the bench was dedicated to. The video of your puppy running across that lawn six years ago, with a new one added underneath.
Nothing is public unless you make it public
Every crumb is one of four things: public, private to you, for a circle you name, or for particular people. You pick before it goes anywhere.
It waits as long as it needs to
Nothing expires and nothing gets buried. Something you leave today is found whenever that person finally arrives — next week or in ten years.
The part parents ask about
Who can see the things I leave?
Only who you choose, and you choose for every single crumb. Nothing becomes public because you forgot a setting, and you can change your mind afterwards.
Start with somewhere that already means something. The house you grew up in, the corner where you met, the bench. Leave one thing there and send the person it is for.
Questions
What families ask.
Is any of this public?
Only if you choose it. Each crumb is public, private to you, shared with a circle you name, or sent to specific people. Most of what families leave is one of the last three.
Can I leave something for someone who does not have the app?
They will need it to open the crumb, and it is free on iPhone and Android. Plenty of people install it because one person left them something, which is usually a better reason than any advert.
Does the person have to go there to see it?
No. They can open it from anywhere, whenever you send it. Being at the place is what makes it land differently, but it is never a lock on the door.
What happens to my crumbs over time?
They stay where you left them until you delete them. Nothing expires, and nothing gets pushed down by newer material.
Is it free?
Yes. Leaving crumbs for people costs nothing, and there is no limit on how many you leave.
They will stand there one day anyway.
The only question is whether anything is waiting when they do.
