There are things we want to say but never find the right moment. Instructions that should be made clear. Words that keep getting postponed. Files that someone will need. Last Wishes is a tool to leave all of that organized, encrypted, and ready to reach whoever needs to receive it, when you can no longer deliver it yourself. How it works: Choose who each message is for. Add text, photos, audios, or documents. Define when and under what conditions it can be accessed. Your recipients receive only what's meant for them, only when it should be. No intermediate servers. Everything is stored encrypted in your own iCloud account. End-to-end encryption means not even we can see your content. It's not a social network. It's not a diary. There are no likes or followers. It's a safe with clear instructions. Features: E2E encryption (X25519 + AES-GCM) Phone verification Support for 65+ countries No ads, no hidden subscriptions Clean interface, only what's necessary There are conversations that deserve to happen even if they arrive late. This app exists so they can.
