About Letter to Later
LetterToLater lets you schedule messages to arrive in the future. You write a letter with a subject and body, optionally record a voice note and attach files, choose a delivery date from presets or a custom date and add recipients. Letters can be set for next week, next year or decades ahead, to act as a time capsule for yourself or as a surprise for a birthday, anniversary or milestone.
Voice memos and photo or file attachments are listed as Pro features, and the composer shows a recipient limit of one on the free tier. The site says letters are encrypted and stored securely until the delivery date, and its FAQ covers whether a scheduled letter can be edited or deleted and what happens if a subscription is canceled.
LetterToLater is a hosted service with a pricing page, a changelog, a blog and a contact form. You can get started for free. The footer lists product, company and legal sections, including terms of service and a privacy policy.
