The Story
Poppy Notes was created by founder Kate Pitner with a simple belief: digital greetings should feel as personal as a handwritten card. Growing up in Los Angeles, Kate spent years designing and licensing art for physical greeting cards, but she wanted to bring that same warmth to mobile devices. The result is Poppy Notes, an app that lets users send boutique e-cards, text notes, and social-shareable greetings without sacrificing personality.
The app stands out by emphasizing intentionality. Rather than flooding users with generic templates, Poppy Notes focuses on curated designs and easy personalization, making it simple to send a smile for birthdays, holidays, or ordinary days that deserve a note. Kate designs the cards herself, giving the library a consistent, handcrafted feel that larger card platforms often lack.
Based in Los Angeles, Poppy Notes is built for people who value connection over convenience. The app offers a free tier with limited sends and a subscription for unlimited access, and it continues to grow as more users look for meaningful ways to stay in touch in a digital world.
