About Easy Tidings

Easy Tidings connects people with warm, thoughtful companions for regular phone calls, handwritten letters, texts, and video chats. We exist for anyone who wants a real conversation with someone who genuinely listens — without it going back to family or friends. Think of it as a consistent, trusted presence in your week.
Anyone who wants a real conversation and a consistent human presence. We particularly serve people experiencing loneliness, seniors, and those going through transitions — but you don't need a label to belong here. If you're looking for someone to talk to, you're in the right place.
No. Easy Tidings companions are not counselors or therapists. They're warm, attentive people who show up consistently, listen carefully, and remember what matters to you. If you're dealing with a mental health condition or crisis, we encourage you to seek support from a licensed professional — we're happy to help point you in the right direction.
Not at all. Easy Tidings is built entirely around platonic friendship and genuine human connection. There's no romantic component to the service.
Never. Every call, letter, text, and message comes from a real human being. No bots, no AI-generated responses, no automated check-ins. That's a core promise of the service — and one we take seriously.

How it works

You can browse and select a Professional Friend right on the home page, or just sign up for a free trial — no commitment required. From there, we reach out with a welcome package to get things started.
Phone calls, handwritten letters, postcards, greeting cards, texts, instant messaging, and video chats. You choose what feels right and set the schedule. We also offer wellness check-ins for families who want peace of mind about a loved one. See the services page for the full breakdown.
As long as you'd like. Our most popular call lengths are 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the plan. Your companion works around whatever schedule fits your life.
Anything you're comfortable with — your day, your memories, your interests, what's on your mind. Your companion is there to listen and engage, not to steer the conversation. Easy Tidings isn't for dating, romantic relationships, or explicit content, but everything else is fair game.
Just a phone is enough to get started. Easy Tidings is also accessible via any web browser on computers, tablets, and smartphones. No downloads or special apps required.

Your companion

Professional Friends are the real people you'll connect with through Easy Tidings. They're vetted, background-checked, and trained to meet your conversational needs. They're not counselors — they're thoughtful people who show up for you, week after week.
We have created a pool of Professional Friends that are trustworthy, safe and vetted for your needs. You can browse these Professional Friends or select with criteria such as availability, interests, language or contact method. Still not sure? When you sign up, leave your choice blank, and we will contact you for a short discussion to determine who is best for you.
Companions are available by appointment. You set the schedule together — whatever time works best for you each week.
The way a good friend might — they'll listen and occasionally offer a perspective. But they're not advisors or therapists, and they won't overstep into personal decisions. The relationship is built on listening, not guiding.

Privacy & safety

Yes. What you share with your companion stays within Easy Tidings. We don't share your personally identifiable information with third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy. Your conversations are private — they don't get back to family or friends.
Very little to get started. The more you share, the better the conversation — but you're always in control of what you reveal and when. Even something like a birthday is optional; you can give as much or as little as you're comfortable with.
We use encryption for data in transit and at rest, store data on secure servers with limited access, and regularly review our security procedures. No method of online storage is completely immune to risk, and we'll always be honest about that — but protecting your information is something we take seriously. See our full Privacy Policy.

Billing & account

We process payments through Stripe, which accepts all major credit cards and Link. Billing is straightforward and easy to manage from your account.
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time, no questions asked. We're not in the business of trapping people.
We're unable to refund purchases once processed, but if you believe a charge was made in error, please reach out and we'll do our best to make it right.
A customer is the person who sets up and pays for the account. A client is the person receiving the companionship. They can be the same person, or a customer can set up service for someone else — a parent, a partner, a friend.
Log into your account and click the profile icon in the top right to update your details. To reset your password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page and we'll send a reset link to your email.

Still have questions?

We're real people too. Send us a message and we'll get back to you promptly.

What is Easy Tidings?

We are a friendship company.

Easy Tidings was born from Catherine's time volunteering in hospice. After more than a decade of hearing her speak of the transformative experience of providing friendship and support to many isolated seniors at their most vulnerable time in life, Sander had the idea to create Easy Tidings to bring that healing encounter to others. Danny joined the organization bringing years of connection with the wellness community and a strong social media presence as a mental health advocate.
