About

Sealed Notes

Features
Read full description

Sealed Notes is a private, on-device journal for messages to your future self. Write a note. Or record a voice message. Pick a future date. Tap one button — and the message is sealed away until that day arrives. When the time comes, Sealed Notes quietly notifies you that something is ready to open. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account, no login, no analytics, no tracking, no cloud sync. Every message lives only in the app's private storage on your iPhone. If you delete the app, every message disappears with it. Use it for: • A pep talk for the version of you in 30 days. • A voice memo to play back on a birthday a year from now. • A reminder of why you started — for the day you forget. • A small ritual after the hard week. Open it when you've forgotten. The design is intentionally calm: cream paper, brown ink, a wax seal you break yourself. FEATURES • Write a note, or record a voice message — your choice. • Pick any future date and time. • Local notification when the seal is ready to break. • Countdown until each message unlocks. • Brown-and-cream serif design, thoughtful and slow. • Stored entirely on your device. No account. No internet required. • Uninstall = full erase. Sealed Notes is for the moments worth saving for later.
