A letter to your future self, sealed until the day.
Write it now and seal it until a date you choose: next year, or ten years from now. Send the link to yourself, and it shows a countdown until the day. Letters and photos are kept for good, and a film is kept for a year after it’s first opened — so the one you record now is still there on the day.
Letter to future self envelope: what goes inside
A letter
Where you are now, what’s worrying you, what you hope has happened by then. Ask yourself questions.
Dear me, Did you ever fix the bike? Be honest.
A postcard
A photo of your life right now: the desk, the view, the people.
The flat, 2026. The plant is still alive. For now.
A film
A minute of you now, for you then. You’ll be surprised what you forgot.
1:30 · Me, now, for later
Stuck for words? How to write a letter to your future self
How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
Letter to future self envelope questions
How far ahead can I set it?
As far as you like: next year, five years, ten. It stays sealed, with a countdown, until the day.
What if I lose the link?
Sign in with the email you paid with and it’s there in your envelopes. The receipt email has it too.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.
