Write something your future self will be glad to find. Save a small moment, a brave hope, or a reminder of who you are today. Choose when your letter opens, seal it, and let time do the rest. START WITH TWO FREE LETTERS EACH MONTH Seal two new letters per calendar month. Keep unlimited drafts and revisit existing letters when they arrive, without needing a subscription. Editing or rescheduling an already-sealed letter does not use another free slot. Deleting a sent letter does not restore a slot; the allowance resets on the first day of the next month on your device. KEEP MORE THAN WORDS Add photos, videos and voice notes to your letters. Pick a paper style, write at your own pace, and return to drafts when the words are ready. MAKE ROOM FOR THE WAIT See your next arrival in the mailbox, browse ready and upcoming letters, and choose optional arrival reminders. Letters stay on your device for offline use. Notification delivery depends on your device and system settings. GO FURTHER WITH OPTIONAL PRO Pro adds unlimited sending and private iCloud sync across your Apple devices. Choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. If a subscription expires, your letters are not deleted and you return to the free plan. An iCloud account and available iCloud storage are required for sync, but not for local letter creation. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Write on the screen that suits the moment, with layouts that adapt to your device and the original cinematic sending and opening experience. PAYMENT INFORMATION Prices are displayed in your local currency before purchase. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple account settings. Lifetime is a single non-consumable purchase. Restore Purchases is available in the app. No free trial is included.
