What is Thatch?

Thatch is a virtual mailbox service that gives you a physical street address for receiving mail, then digitises it so you can manage everything online. It consolidates postal mail, faxes, phone calls, and text messages into one dashboard where you can view, forward, delete, or archive items. The service includes AI-powered summaries of your mail content, making it easier to stay on top of what's arrived. Thatch is particularly useful for freelancers, small business owners, and people working internationally who need a professional address but want to avoid managing physical post.
