Personal Messenger

PM is a simple video messaging app for long distance families. Staying in touch can be hard when you move away. PM makes this a lot easier.


Why use PM?

• Video conversations without setting up a call
A PM is a short 1 on 1 video message recorded with the front camera that they’ll see instantly in beautiful full screen. And they can swipe to reply to it.

• Magic Links made just for Mom
With Magic Links, we make it unbelievably simple for Mom (and the rest of the family) to get started. They don’t even need to sign up; just simply click the link!

• PM them anytime youre thinking of them
Sometimes you want to tell them that you miss them but they might not be able to take a call. Don’t wait, just send them a quick PM!

• Gentle reminders to help you stay in touch
We send you gentle reminders for the times you forget to message back. And don’t worry you can turn these off anytime.


Magic Links

Apps these days are way too complicated for Mom to use. Registering accounts, filling out a profile, adding friends, cryptic controls and confusing interfaces; she doesn’t have the time for that! So we created an entirely new way for them to get started. We call it the Magic Link. You simply create a Magic Link for her (or anybody else in the family) and add her account details. The link will help her download PM from the App Store and she’ll be greeted with your invite. And voila! She can now tap on your name to talk to you. It’s as easy as it gets.

Our families have been using PM with us and they absolutely love it! So much so that they’ve been recommending it to their friends. Download PM and give the Magic Link a try with your family!


Testimonials

“I would call my Mom maybe once every week, but now with PM I message her almost everyday. And she loves it!” — Jennifer K.

“PM has been a huge help with my girlfriend ever since I moved to a new city. We FaceTime almost every other day but with PM I feel like Im a part of her everyday life.” — Sean A.

“Ive been really bad at staying in touch with friends since I moved and I feel guilty about it too! PM has made this so much better and it feels far more natural than sending a text.” — Lilly C.


Our Story

We are a team of two (Frank & Jay) and we moved to San Francisco from Toronto in the fall of 2010. And since March of this year, we are back in Toronto following some issues we’ve had with our Visas. We made some great friends while we were in San Francisco and the move back has made it hard for us to stay in touch with them. Texting works fine but it can feel really impersonal at times. FaceTime is great but in spite of our best intentions it can be really hard to schedule. So we built PM; a simple way to stay connected with the people you love, even when you are miles away. We’ve been using PM with our family and friends and it’s become indispensable for us. We hope that you’ll love using it just as much as we do.
