Location-based letters
A letter waits for you.
On Laume, letters are left at real places instead of sent to an inbox. Find a seal on the map, come within 50 metres and open the story where it belongs.
Text, photo or voice. Every letter has a place.
How it works
See the seal. Find the place. Open the letter.
Open the app to see nearby seals. Their contents stay hidden until someone walks to the place where they were left.
Find it on the map
Nearby letters appear as seals on the map.
Come within 50 metres
The seal becomes ready as the distance closes.
Read it there
Break the seal to discover a text, photo or voice letter.

Memory Point
A shared memory book for a real place.
A Memory Point is a shared book of short notes left by people who visit the same place. Only someone who is there can add a new page.
No remote posts. Every page begins with a real visit.
Traveling letter
A letter can move from city to city.
Find a Traveling Letter, carry it with you and leave it at another real place. Its new location becomes part of the journey.

Safer discovery
Explore without broadcasting your location.
Laume uses your location only while the app is open to calculate distance. The map shows the letter, not you.
Your location is yours
Location is used only while the app is open to verify distance; it is never tracked in the background.
Safer places
Private property, traffic and dangerous or restricted areas are not accepted as discovery points.
Community control
Inappropriate content can be reported in the app and reviewed.
Good to know
Quick answers.

See every question →When does a letter open?

No. Location is used to check distance while the app is open; background location is not requested.
