All too often we forget what was once most important to us. We lose the moments we swore to always remember. We lose track of the struggle and the pain which made us who we are today. No longer forget what defined you. Write it down, send it, and remember.
I've seen digital versions of this to email yourself something in the future. But this is the first physical version of this I've seen.
How far in the future do you support, @peter_ullrich?
@peter_ullrich@rrhoover Thank you! Until now we only support sending letters 2 years in the future, but if there's a wish for later timeframes then we can certainly offer it as well :)
Loving the idea. Any reason it's restricted to 2 years? I would want to send it to myself in 10y from now and for the product to somehow keep track of where I am in the meantime?
@joshua_wohle Thank you! Loving the idea extending the timeframe to 10y and using regular pings to verify that the address is still correct. 2 years was our best guess for how long a customer's address would stay unchanged. However, we'll seriously consider your suggestion, so thank you :)
@joshua_wohle@peter_ullrich We have updated the service and you can now choose to have the letter been sent to you in 3, 5, or 10 years from now :) We will send periodic check-ins so that you can let us know whether your address has changed. Enjoy! :)
This is an innovative idea, a great product indeed. I just can't find the pricing on the landing page. Please add transparent pricing. Also will I get a member login where I can change the address in the future if needed? Congrats @letter2yourself on the launch,
@letter2yourself@rajan_ramachandran Thanks for the feedback! We added it to the landing page right away!
There will be a method of updating your address, however we haven't decided yet on how to implement this, since we want to avoid that customers need to register for yet another website. It will probably work through e-mails containing links to an editing page, but that's still open for discussion.
Do you remember when you decided to pursue your current career? Do you remember the circumstances which led you to that decision? What were your thoughts when you decided on your partner or your apartment? You think that you know, but if you're honest you can only remember the highlights, the big moments, the moments of truth.
But how did your life look like during all these big decisions? What was the context of these decisions? Were you satisfied with your life, which hobbies did you like, and which friends did you have back then?
We all forget at an incredible pace all the nitty-gritty details of your lives which worried us, influenced us, defined us at a certain point in time. One way to remember is to keep a journal. You store these details for all eternity, but why not let come to your help in moments of struggle, of grief, of success, or confusion?
Letter to Yourself helps you remember things you never want to forget. You simply write yourself a letter including all the details, circumstances, thoughts, worries, and struggles, anything you want to remind your future self of. Then you choose when you want to remember all these things. In 3 months already or maybe in 2 years?
When your chosen point in time has arrived, we will frame your message in a beautiful letter and send it to you through the good ol' postal system. What a surprise that will be when you open your mailbox and find a letter from your past!
Write a letter today and never again forget what's most important to you.

That's awesome. What if in 2 years the destination will be different from the one a letter was planned to be sent to?
@jakecreps Interesting suggestion! How would a time capsule option differ from "locking" a message into a letter and having it sent to you in e.g. 10 years from now?

@jakecreps@peter_ullrich You’d receive a box containing an assortment of items (including a letter) instead of a just a letter. Let’s say the user wants to schedule a box on their 1 year work anniversary to remind them of why they chose to work there. Could include books, pictures, quotes, or whatever was on their mind at the time. Just a thought ✌🏻
Any thoughts on using this concept to be like a virtual journaling time capsule? The place I go to document life moments, knowing they won't go anywhere. Cool idea though!
