FutureNote

FutureNote is an iPhone app for writing notes to your future self.

You write what is happening right now: what you are afraid of, what you are hoping for, what today was actually like. You can pick a mood and add a photo of where you are sitting. Then you choose how long to seal the note: a week, a month, a year, or up to ten years.

Sealed means sealed. Nobody can open the note early, including you. Life moves on, and most people forget what they wrote.

On the day you chose, the note comes back. You read your own words from a version of you that has already changed, and you can write a reply to the person you were: what happened, whether the fear came true, whether the hope was right. That reply is sealed too, so the conversation keeps going.

Over months and years the notes build into a timeline, filed by chapter, of every version of you. It is a private record, and nothing in it is written for an audience.

Most people start with a 30-day note written in about ten minutes, usually in the evening.

It is for anyone going through a change, a hard stretch, or a moment they do not want to lose the feeling of.

Not a journal. A conversation across time.

FutureNote is free to download on the App Store, with Premium as an in-app purchase.
