FuturePost is a free, private web and iOS app that sends encrypted letters you write today to your future self on a date you choose, with no ads, subscriptions, or hidden fees.
What is FuturePost?
FuturePost is a free letter-to-future-self service that takes your written message (text-based, with photo attachment support) and delivers it to your email inbox on a future date you pick — next month, next year, or decades from now. It runs on the web and as a dedicated iOS app, built by self-taught entrepreneur and developer Ayush Soni as a passion project after watching other services shift to paid models. You can write a letter now with no account fees.
Key Features
- Private & secure — Your letters are encrypted in the database; only you can read them unless you choose to make them public. No data is shared with third parties.
- Free forever — No subscriptions, hidden fees, or paid tiers. FuturePost is funded through voluntary community contributions and optional sponsorships, not user payments.
- 100% reliable — Regular backups ensure your scheduled letters arrive on time, even years later. The founder has other successful businesses and commits to keeping the service running indefinitely.
- No ads ever — Clean, distraction-free writing and reading experience with no advertising.
- Schedule letters — Choose any future delivery date when composing your message.
- Import letters from FutureMe — Export your existing FutureMe letters as CSV and use the step-by-step import guide to bring them into FuturePost.
- Full control — Edit, delete, or manage any letter before it's delivered from your dashboard. Once sent, it lands in your inbox.
Who is it for?
- For the Dreamers — Set intentions and track your journey by writing goals you want to revisit, then check in on your progress when the letter arrives.
- For the Reflectors — Capture your current thoughts, emotions, and experiences right now, so you can rediscover who you were at a specific moment in time.
- For the Encouragers — Send yourself words of wisdom, motivation, or comfort for a future date when you'll need them most.
- For the Storytellers — Document your life story one letter at a time, building a personal archive you can rediscover year after year.
What can you do with FuturePost?
- Send encouragement for tough days — Write a compassionate note to your future self and schedule it for a date you anticipate (e.g., after a big move or during exam season).
- Track personal growth over time — Write an annual letter on your birthday or New Year’s Day, then read it the following year to see how you’ve changed.
- Preserve memories for yourself — Capture a snapshot of your current life — what you’re grateful for, what you’re struggling with, what you hope for — and schedule delivery years later as a time capsule.
- Import your past letters — If you used FutureMe or another service, export your letters as CSV and import them into FuturePost to keep everything in one free, ad-free place.
How does FuturePost work?

- Choose when to send — Pick a future date: next month, next year, or even a decade from now.
