If you are not in the know, search for “Landed” in the iOS App Store
”Landed is a non-toxic social media experience which offers two benefits:
The first is gratitude. Practicing gratitude—in a grounded way—has clear mental health benefits.
The second is a slow, audio-based connection with a different user each week. This format is meant to be a nourishing alternative to the overwhelm of traditional social media.
That’s it. We have no interest in maximizing “engagement.” You are limited to interacting only with your match during a given week. No pictures, no followers, no profiles, no endless content.”
Using the Landed app has made a huge impact in our lives by fostering genuine, heartfelt connections. Each week, we exchange voice messages of three gratitudes and a challenge for ourselves. The simplicity and focus on gratitude helps us appreciate the small, often overlooked moments in our lives. Connecting and hearing each other's voices, with all the pauses and subtleties, brings a warmth and sincerity that text messages cannot convey.
One of the most special aspects of using Landed is sharing our matches with each other. Every week, we eagerly highlight the new people we've been paired with and the meaningful messages we've exchanged. This broadens our gratitude and allows us to reflect on the diverse expressions of gratitude from others. It has become a cherished part of our routine, reminding us to express gratitude and cherish the beautiful, human moments we share.
Thank you for joining us as we are Hungry and Grateful for the connections and awareness this app brings into our lives.
