How It Works
Write today. Deliver when it matters.
WordsLater is built around a simple idea: the right words, at the right moment, can change someone's life. Below is how the whole process fits together - from your first message to a delivery that may not happen for decades.

One click pre-fills the recipient and delivery timing - you can change everything before sending.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start if I've never used WordsLater before?
Start with The Process page for a 5-step walkthrough. Then create a free account - your first scheduled message takes about five minutes to write.
Do I need a paid plan to try it out?
No. The free plan lets you schedule one real message up to a year out, with no credit card. Upgrade only if you want more messages, additional delivery channels, or posthumous delivery.
What kinds of triggers can I use to deliver a message?
Specific dates, recurring anniversaries, age milestones (e.g. "on her 18th birthday"), life events (e.g. "on their wedding day"), or posthumous delivery after verified check-ins.
How do you make sure a message gets through years from now?
Every plan funds a long-term delivery reserve, we migrate file formats forward as standards evolve, and we send periodic check-ins to confirm recipient details before long-dated deliveries.
Is posthumous delivery automatic if I stop logging in?
No - it requires multiple missed check-ins across email and SMS, independent confirmation from your trusted contacts, and a 7-day cooling-off window. See the full process.
Can WordsLater read what I write?
Your messages are encrypted at rest with per-message keys. Routine employee access is forbidden by policy, and posthumous-vault messages are sealed so they can't be decrypted by anyone but the recipient. More on privacy.
