Example
You're reading this on the train, probably. I hope you finally called Dad more than once a month. If you didn't, call him today.

How it works
- 01
Write your letter
As long or short as you like. Add photos or a voice note if you want to hear yourself.
- 02
Choose the day
Next birthday, New Year's Day, or 5, 10 or 25 years from now.
- 03
Forget about it
It arrives by email on that morning. Until then, not even you can read it.
Questions to answer for your future self
Pick two or three. A few honest lines beat a long letter nobody finishes.
- What does an ordinary day look like right now?
- What are you worried about that you hope won't matter later?
- Who are the people you talk to most?
- What are you proud of this year?
- What do you want to have stopped doing by the time you read this?
- What do you think you'll be doing for work?
- One question you want future you to answer honestly.
Questions
- Is it free?
- Yes. A text letter from one writer is free up to 25 years out, and anything that opens within a year is free. Photos further out are $6 once, and you can write up to 100 years ahead.
- What if I change my email address?
- Add up to three addresses, and update them any time from your private link.
- Can I read it before the day?
- No. That's the point. You can download what you wrote as a backup, but the capsule stays sealed.
