A free web page for writing a letter to your future self
OpenWhen has a web page where people write a letter to their future self and keep it closed until a chosen day. The idea comes from a common problem with future-email services: a l letter can later arrive in the same inbox as bills and , which can make the moment feel ordinary.
One large similar service now limits free letters and shows ads around them. OpenWhen lets someone write one honest page and lock it until a date, or behind a question only their future self could answer.
When the time comes, the reader presses and holds a on the screen until it breaks and the letter opens. It works without an app, without an account, and for free.
