— How it works —
Three steps. That’s all.
Capture.
Upload or record a memory.
Record a video, upload one you already have, or write a message. However you want to say it — one moment, preserved exactly as it is right now.
Lock it.
Pick the day it arrives.
Choose a date — tomorrow, next year, their 18th birthday. Enable the lock and after 72 hours it locks — no peeking, the surprise stays intact. Or leave it off if you want to revisit it anytime. Your call.
Delivered.
One morning, it lands.
On the day you chose, an email arrives. One click — the video plays. No app. No password. Just you, from the past.
— A real story —Recorded in 1992.
Original short film by Jeremiah McDonald.
Recorded in 1992.
Watched twenty years later.
At twelve, Jeremiah pointed a camcorder at himself and pressed record. The tape sat in a drawer for twenty years. Two decades later he watched it back, and got to meet a kid he barely remembered being. That's the kind of artifact this app creates.
You record one message today. We lock it. Years from now, it lands in your email. The version of you that exists right now, talking to whoever you've become.

— Our guarantees —
Seven promises. In writing.
01 / 07
01
Locked until the hour
If you choose to lock the video, not even you can watch it before the delivery date. Not us. Not anyone.
02
Schedule for anyone
Any email you want. Future spouse, future child, a friend across the world, or just yourself ten years from now.
03
A surprise, kept whole
By the time it arrives, you'll have forgotten what you said. That's what makes it hit. A real surprise, not a reminder.
04
Safe until the day
Encrypted and privately stored until the morning it's due. Not browsed, not analyzed, not touched, just held.
