What an explained letter looks like in the app (sample data).

How it works

Four steps – from your letterbox to your reply.

  1. Step 1

    Photograph the letter

    Take a photo of the letter or upload a PDF – letters with several pages too.

  2. Step 2

    Explained in your language

    You get a short, clear explanation: who is writing to you, what it is about, and what you are asked to do. In German, English, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish or Romanian.

  3. Step 3

    Deadlines and reminders

    Deadlines and amounts appear in your overview, and MeinHelfer reminds you before anything is due.

  4. Step 4

    Reply drafted – you approve

    For an objection, a cancellation or a question back, MeinHelfer drafts a suitable letter in German. You check it, approve it and send it yourself.

What MeinHelfer does for you

Less guessing, less stress – and nothing happens without you.

  • Explained in 7 languages

    Every letter is explained in plain words – in the language you understand best.

  • Backed by your letter

    Every deadline and amount shows the sentence from your letter it comes from. If a deadline isn't in the letter, the app won't invent one.

  • Reminders before it gets tight

    Plus and Pro remind you 7, 3 and 1 day before a deadline, on the day itself and when something is overdue. The Free plan gives you one reminder 3 days before.

  • Just ask

    Not sure what a word or a paragraph means? Ask the assistant about your letter directly.

  • Reply drafts in German

    Objection, cancellation or reply: MeinHelfer writes a draft in correct German. You send it yourself.

  • Scam warnings

    If a letter looks like a scam, the app warns you – and doesn't suggest a reply.

  • Everything in one place

    Letters, deadlines and contracts with their cancel-by dates – neatly sorted instead of in a shoebox.

  • Share with your household

    From Plus, invite your partner or family to your household and keep an eye on the post together.

Security and privacy

Your letters are private. Here is how we handle them.

Official post is personal. So we tell you plainly where your data is kept, who can see it and what happens to it.

  • Stored in Frankfurt

    Your letters, files and account data are stored in data centres in Frankfurt, Germany. Connections between the app and our servers are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).

  • Only your household sees your letters

    Only you and the people you invite to your household can see your letters. Our admin tools show only counts and technical status – no letter contents, senders or bank transactions. Every admin access is logged.

  • How your letter is read

    To read and explain a letter, we send its photo or PDF and its text to an external AI service. Questions you ask the assistant are processed there too.

  • Nothing without your approval

    MeinHelfer never sends or pays anything without your approval. You send reply drafts yourself.

  • Export and delete

    You can download your data as a file at any time and delete your account yourself. After a 14-day grace period, everything is erased.

  • No ads

    No ads and no ad trackers. We don't sell your data.
