Write Self

Write a letter to your future self on your next birthday

Write a letter that arrives on your next birthday. A birthday gift from this year's you to next year's you.

§ IWhat we do

Write Self prints your letter on heavy paper, seals it in an envelope, and posts it back to you on the date you choose — anywhere from six months from now to five years from now. Most people pick one year.

We don't send emails. We don't push notifications. We don't keep your letter on a screen. The only place your letter exists, after you write it, is encrypted in a database — and then, on the morning you chose, in your hand.
