Coming soon. Since I'm Gone isn't open yet. These pages show how it will work.
Letters for later

Say it now. We'll deliver it when the time comes.

Write a letter, record a video, or leave a few words for the people you love. Send it on a date you choose, or keep it sealed until after you're gone.

Try it free. Every plan is one payment, for life, and sealed messages are always delivered.

Two ways to send

Some words have to wait for the right day.

Every message is written the same way. What changes is when it goes.

Deliver
14 Feb
2027

On a date

A delayed message. Pick the day and the hour, in your time zone or theirs.

  • A note for your daughter's first day of college
  • An anniversary letter written a year ahead
  • A thank-you that lands on the right birthday
Deliver
on my
passing

When I'm gone

Sealed until you've died. You check in now and then, and people you trust confirm it before anything is sent.

  • The apology you never found the moment for
  • A goodbye, in your own voice, on video
  • A letter for a birthday you won't be there for
What people write

The things that are hardest to say out loud.

Love
“You were the best thing I ever did. Every version of you.”
Apology
“I was wrong about the wedding, and I was too proud to call.”
Forgiveness
“Whatever you still carry about that night, put it down. I did.”
Gratitude
“You took a chance on me in 1998. I never told you what it changed.”
Confession
“There's something about Dad I promised to keep. You deserve to know.”
Advice
“When you're scared of the big choice, take the one with more people in it.”
How it works

Four steps, and then you can stop carrying it.

  1. Write it

    Type a letter, or add a video or voice recording. Save it as a draft and come back as often as you need.

  2. Choose who

    One person or several, each with every way to reach them: email, phone, postal address.

  3. Choose when

    A date and time, or when you're gone. Or both: after you're gone, on her 18th birthday.

  4. Seal it

    It's encrypted the moment you seal it. You can still edit or cancel it any time until it's delivered.

Safeguards

Nothing goes out because you missed one email.

A message meant for after you're gone sends only when three things agree: your check-ins have stopped, someone you trust has confirmed it, and a final grace period has passed with no one stopping it.

Check-ins you barely notice

Once a week, a month or a quarter. Reply to the email, answer the text, or tap a button.

Verifiers you choose

One or two people who confirm before anything is sent. They never see your messages.

Going away for a while?

Pause your check-ins for up to 90 days, for a hospital stay, a long trip, or a hard season.

If you went quiet tomorrow

With monthly check-ins by email and text, a phone call, and two verifiers.

How it arrives

In the form that means the most to them.

Choose one or several. If one fails, like an old email address or a changed number, the next one is tried.

Email

A private link to read, watch or download, kept for them for good.

Text message

A short, gentle notice with the link, for people who never check email.

Printed letter

Printed on good paper, sealed and mailed. Something they can keep in a drawer.

Video

Your face and your voice, with the letter beneath it.

Dana left something for you.

Dana wrote this in October 2026 and asked us to keep it for you. Open it whenever you're ready.

What they receive

A gentle knock, not a shock.

A message from someone who has died can land at a terrible moment. So by default, the people you write to get a short notice first, and open your words when they're ready. Nothing expires, and they can download it or ask for a printed copy.

For happy, expected messages, like an anniversary note, you can deliver it in full instead.

Privacy

Sealed means sealed.

We can't read your messages

Each one is encrypted when you seal it. The key is released only when it's time to deliver.

Verifiers see nothing

They confirm one fact. They never learn what you wrote or who it's for.

Yours to take with you

Download everything you've written, any time, in plain files you can open anywhere.

Who would you write to first?

It takes ten minutes to start, and as long as you like to finish.
