Say it now, delivered when it matters. Some things are too important to leave unsaid. Everlasting Email lets you write, record and safely keep messages for the people you love, and delivers them at exactly the right moment, even if you are no longer here to send them yourself. WRITE THE LETTER YOU HAVE BEEN MEANING TO WRITE A letter to your daughter for her wedding day. A message for your son's twenty-first. Words for your partner to open on a hard day. A goodbye you would rather write calmly now than never say at all. CHOOSE HOW YOUR WORDS ARRIVE • On a date you pick: a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, years from now. • With a two-person code: two people you trust unlock the message together, so nothing is sent by mistake. • By Auto-Delivery: if you can no longer check in, your messages are delivered for you, with a Trusted Contact confirming before anything is sent. MORE THAN WORDS Add a video message recorded in the app, photos and personal files. Everything is kept safely until the moment it matters, then delivered by email to the people you chose. They do not need the app or an account. A GENTLE CHECK-IN One tap tells us you are OK. We remind you by notification, and your messages simply stay safely unsent. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No advertising, no tracking, no selling your data. Your messages are encrypted and belong to you and the people you wrote them for. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time, right from the app. NOT A WILL Everlasting Email carries your words, not your paperwork. It is not a place to store a will or legal documents; keep those with your lawyer. FREE TO START Write your first message on the free plan. Upgrade when you want more messages, video, or delivery on a date. Available in English, Italiano, Français, Deutsch and Español.
