Bridge Time Zones, Share Moments, Grow Closer.

Intro
Zonetalk is a software designed for longdistance family members. Its unique feature is that it utilizes the time difference between different time zones to create an emotionally rich “slow messaging” experience. This approach not only keeps the content shared fresh but also reduces misunderstandings caused by unfamiliarity with each other’s daily lives, reduces the stress of fast-paced communication, and thus strengthens the emotional connection between family members.
ZoneTalk is an app that works with ZoneMail, whose daily role is companionship, while ZoneTalk is for recording and editing.
The shape of ZoneMail is derived from the mailbox, with a half-circle design to create a feeling of the sun and the moon rising from the ground plane.
