mailSay it when it matters

Some messages shouldn't arrive today.

Record a video, a voice note or a letter now. One4Future seals it until its moment - a date, their 18th birthday, the day something happens - and delivers it then.

See One4Future in action.

One message, for the future: recorded today, sealed for their day, and a thank-you back. Filmed in the real One4Future app; the names are made up. Music composed for this film
scheduleHow it works

Four steps. One perfect moment.

1

Create it

Record a video or a voice note, write a few words, or upload a video, photo or audio file you already have. Play it back before you keep it.

Adding a message: record video, voice note, write text, or upload a video, photo or audio
2

Seal it

Choose when it arrives: a date, their birthday at 9am their time, or a moment people you trust confirm has happened. Until then, nobody can open it.

It arrives

On the day, we email them a link. The first time they open it, sparks rise and the envelope opens. Then they watch, listen or read, and save or share it if they like.

They say thank you

They can send a video, a voice note or a few words straight back. Only you see it, and we let you know it has arrived.

Right on their birthday

Pick the age - 18, 21, 40 - and it arrives at 9am on that birthday, in their time zone, even decades from now.

celebration

For moments without a date

A wedding, a graduation, a first home. Choose up to five people who will confirm it has happened; it's delivered 24 hours later, so there's time to catch a mistake.

Unseal to edit, or revoke, any time before it's delivered.

favoriteLegacy mode

Messages for after you're gone. Delivered only when it's certain.

Legacy capsules wait for all of these, in order - and any step can stop it.

  1. You stop checking inSimply opening One4Future counts. You choose how often, from monthly to yearly.
  2. We remind youBy email, every week, for a grace period you choose.
  3. Your trusted people confirmTwo people you choose (or one, once phone checks arrive). Every one must confirm, and one "they're fine" stops everything.
  4. A final weekWe email you a final warning and wait one more week.

mailQuestions

Good to know.

Does the person I'm writing to need One4Future already?

No. When their capsule arrives we email them. They open it in the One4Future app, signed in with that email address.

Can I change it after sealing?

Yes, until it's delivered. Unseal it to edit, or revoke it so it's never delivered.

How far ahead can I send a message?

Up to 50 years. Birthday capsules arrive at 9am in the recipient's own time zone.

What stops a legacy message being released by mistake?

It takes all of it: missed check-ins, weekly reminders through a grace period, both of your trusted people confirming, and a final week after we email you a last warning. Checking in at any point, or one trusted person saying you're fine, stops it.

What does it cost?

Your first capsule is free. After that you pay per capsule, once, when you seal it; prices will be announced before launch. Opening, saving and sharing a capsule you receive is always free.

Where can I use it?

In any modern browser, on a computer or a phone, and in the Android app. The iPhone app is coming soon. It's one account everywhere: sign in with the same email address. Recording in the browser is coming; on the web you can write letters and upload videos, photos and voice notes.
