Postcard Log
Relationshipsweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Postcards are the slowest social network and the only one worth keeping records of. The Postcard Log tracks each card sent and received — the penpal or place, the direction, the date, and a few lines on what the front looked like, since the picture is half the point. For penpals, postcrossers, and anyone who still believes in stamps.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I keep track of postcards I have sent and received?
Every card gets an entry with the penpal or place, whether it was sent or received, the date, and a description of the front. Over time it becomes a paper correspondence, indexed.
Does this postcard tracker require the internet, unlike the postcards?
Pleasingly, no. It is a single HTML file that runs offline in your browser — no account, nothing leaves the page, and the file is yours forever. The log is as self-contained as the hobby.
Why record what the front of the postcard looked like?
Because the card itself goes in a shoebox or across the sea, and years later what you remember is the picture. A line or two — lighthouse at dusk, alarming cartoon goat — brings the whole card back.
