Written with intention
Never missa special day
Choose a specific date, or send them after you’re gone.
Certainty
Written today, and certain to arrive
You choose the person and the day. We keep the letter sealed until then, and it still arrives if that day comes when you’re not here.
When it arrives
Your words still show up on her birthday
You write it today and it lands on the day you meant it for: her 18th, years from now. A birthday letter is a light thing to write, right up until you realize it still arrives if you’re not there to hand it over.
Two ways to say when
You set it on the letter itself, and you can change it any time before it leaves. Try both below — it is the same screen you get inside your account.
- On a date
- A day and a time you already have in mind, in your own time zone. Her 18th birthday, an anniversary, a Tuesday in 2031.
- After I’m gone
- The letter waits. It needs no date at all — but if it is meant for a particular day, you can name the month and the day, and we work out the year when the time comes.

It waits, and arrives once your trusted contacts have confirmed, after a waiting period.
How we know
This exists because one of your letters is waiting on it. If everything you’ve written is set to a date, we never check in at all.
Signing in is how we know you’re here
You choose how often we should hear from you. Every time you sign in, that counts as a check-in and the clock starts again. If the whole period goes by without you, we email you to ask — one link, one click.
Check in on me every
A missed check-in starts nothing
If that email goes unanswered for a month, we write to the people you named. Until one of them answers, nothing moves, and your own link keeps working the whole time.
Who confirms
Trusted contacts are a separate list
They are not the people you write to, and they are not in your People list. A trusted contact is only asked one question: whether you are still here.
- They never see your letters, or who you wrote them for.
- They are not told how many letters you have.
- They only ever learn your first name, and that we are asking after you.
- You can add, remove or swap them whenever you like.
Add a trusted contact
With the country code, in case we ever need another way to reach them.
And then seven days
Once a trusted contact confirms, there is still a week before anything is sent. If you sign in during it, everything stops and nothing is released.

The questions worth asking
What if you think I’m gone and I’m not?
Then nothing happens. We ask again, by email and by text, and a letter stays sealed the whole time. Nothing sends until a person you named confirms it.
What if a trusted contact doesn’t respond?
We move to the next one, then the one after that. It is exactly why we ask for 3: an old inbox or a changed number is never the reason your words don’t arrive.
What if my trusted contact is gone before I am?
Replace them whenever you need to. We would rather you keep 3 names on the list, so there is always someone else to ask.
Can I change my trusted contacts later?
Any time. Add, remove or swap them as often as you like, and the change takes effect straight away.
Do my trusted contacts get to read my letters?
No. They confirm the moment. They never see what you wrote, or who it was for.
Do I have to turn this on?
No. If every letter you write is set to a date, we never check in and never ask you for a contact. It only exists if you ask for it.
