MyWishLetter gives your words, memories, wishes and messages a future. Write something for today, schedule it for a special moment, send it anonymously, surprise someone later, or preserve a message for the people you love.
Add photographs, voice notes, videos or important documents, and choose when and how your message reaches them.
Free to start.
“To the people I love — there are some things I never want to leave unsaid.”
A letter, photographs, a voice note, a video, a document. Whatever you would want them to have.
The people it is for, and the moment — a date, a birthday, a wedding, or if you are no longer here to send it yourself.
Encrypted at rest, never publicly addressable, and readable only through a private link issued to the person you chose. Send it anonymously if the message should speak for itself.
On the day it matters, they receive it by email or WhatsApp. Nothing for them to install, nothing for you to remember.
The stories, recipes and photographs that otherwise go unrecorded — and the letter that opens on their eighteenth, written when they were three.
The thank you, the apology, the truth. Written down properly, once, instead of almost said for years.
Something for yourself, later. A letter to the person you will be in five years, kept private until then.
Where things are, who to call, what you would have wanted — and letters held until you can no longer send them yourself.
33%
of bereaved families regretted not talking about death enough
In one study of 678 bereaved families of cancer patients cared for at 133 inpatient hospices in Japan, 224 (33%) regretted not having talked about death sufficiently. Only 5.9% regretted having talked about it.
Some conversations are difficult to start. Writing can give them a beginning.

Behind every number is a person, a family, a memory, a conversation, or something someone wished they had said. Life is unpredictable, some conversations are difficult, and some information should be easy for the right people to find.
Write it while you can.
Whatever the reason, start with one letter.
Write it today. Let them receive it tomorrow — or years from now.
Create your letterChoose the date and the moment. A birthday years from now, the morning of a wedding, an anniversary, or a day only the two of you would recognise. Write it while you have the words, and let it wait.
You can change a scheduled letter, or cancel it, right up until it is sent.
Attach photographs, voice notes, videos, documents and notes. A recording of someone laughing is not something a paragraph replaces, and neither is a scan of the one document a family will need and will not know where to find.
Attachments are encrypted on your own device before they are uploaded, so what reaches our storage is already unreadable without a key we hold sealed and are not permitted to open.
Some things are easier to say without a signature. An apology, a thank you, a truth someone deserves to hear. Choose “Send anonymously” and your name never reaches the recipient — only the words do.
Anonymous to the recipient. Not untraceable to MyWishLetter.
Every letter carries a Letter ID that anyone can use to report it, and we can always trace an anonymous letter back to the account that sent it. Anonymous exists for the things that are hard to sign, not for anything you would not want traced to you.
Available on the free plan and on every paid plan. We do not charge for this.
Letters can be held until you are no longer able to send them yourself, and released only on the conditions you set. You choose who receives them, what they are told, and who you trust to confirm the moment has come.
We cannot detect that someone has died, and we do not pretend to. Inactivity protection works from reminders you can always answer, a grace period, and the people you nominate — a single missed email never releases anything on its own.
The free plan is not a trial. Write letters, schedule them, attach photographs and voice notes, send anonymously, and let us deliver them. Your privacy, your security, your own letters and your ability to leave with everything you have written are free forever, on every plan.
More space for the recordings, the videos, the whole album rather than the three best photographs. More letters, for more of the people you would write to. Room for the things you would hate to have to choose between.
Explore plansMyWishLetter is not end-to-end encrypted today, and we will not say otherwise. Content is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is tightly restricted and audited. MyWishLetter is also not a legal will and does not replace professional estate planning. How your letters are protected.
Write it today. Let them receive it tomorrow — or years from now. It takes about a minute, it is free to start, and we will look after it for as long as you need.
