FutureNote is an iOS app for writing sealed letters to your future self. You write a note, add a mood and optionally a photo, and choose the date it unlocks. Until that day the note can't be opened or edited — not even by you. When it returns, you can reply to your past self, and the exchange builds a private timeline.
Premium is an optional in-app purchase that unlocks replying to a note when it returns — the reply loop that builds your timeline of conversations with your past self. Writing and sealing notes stays free and unlimited. The yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial.
No. A sealed note stays closed until the date you chose. There is no preview, no peek, no override — that is what makes it a real letter to who you'll be.
