When should it arrive?

Where should we deliver it?

Free. No card. Once sealed, it opens only on its day — even for you.

How it works

Three minutes now. A small miracle later.

  1. 1

    Write it down

    What you’re hoping for, what scares you, what you never want to forget. A few honest lines are enough.

  2. 2

    Seal it

    Pick the day it should arrive. It’s encrypted and sealed — nobody reads it, not even you, until then.

  3. 3

    Open it one day

    On that day it lands in your inbox: a note from the person you used to be, right on time.

What arrives

A real letter, not a reminder.

On the day you chose, your letter arrives by email exactly as you wrote it, with the date you wrote it on. With Premium it can carry a photo from today, or your voice.

  • schedule_sendDelivered on the exact day, retried automatically if a send fails.
  • devicesLives in your account, not on a phone you might lose.
  • mark_email_unreadSealed until delivery: the surprise is real.

A letter from you, written 2 years ago

LetterForLater · to you

8:00 PM

Written on a Tuesday in November

Dear future me,

You were so nervous about the new job. I bet it feels small now. Did you keep running on Sunday mornings? I hope you still call Mum every week.

Be kind to the version of you who wrote this. She tried.

For after you’re gone

The obvious question

“What if you’re not around when my letter is due?”

It’s the right question to ask anyone who offers to hold something for ten years. Here is exactly how we answer it.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Can I read my letter before it arrives?add

No. Once it’s sealed it stays closed until the day it arrives, even for you — that’s what makes that day special. While you’re still writing, keep it as a draft and change anything you like.

Who can read what I write?add

Letters are encrypted before they’re stored. We don’t read them, train on them or sell them. The privacy policy explains exactly how it works.

Is it really free?add

Yes. Letters to yourself, up to 6 months ahead, are free with no card. Premium adds longer dates, letters to other people, photos, voice and video.

What if I cancel Premium later?add

Letters you’ve already scheduled are still delivered on their date. You just can’t schedule new Premium letters until you come back.
