Future letters

A future letter is a message Angel Reminder delivers to one of your recipients on a future date you choose – independent of the check-in mechanism. Perfect for words that should arrive on a specific occasion: an 18th birthday, an anniversary, or simply “in five years”.

How to schedule a future letter

1. Open the “Future letters” tile in the app.
2. Pick a recipient from your contacts (they need an email address).
3. Write a subject and your message.
4. Choose the delivery date (tomorrow at the earliest).
5. Schedule message and you’re done. It appears in your list of planned messages and can be cancelled any time before delivery.

Good to know

• Delivered by email: on the chosen day we send the message to the recipient’s stored address.
• Recipient snapshot: the email address is stored when you schedule. If you change the contact later, the planned message keeps the originally chosen address.
• Beyond the emergency, too: a future letter is delivered on the planned date – even if you are no longer reachable by then. That is exactly its purpose.
• No double sending: each message is delivered at most once. If a technical problem occurs during sending, it is not accidentally sent again but marked as “failed”.
• Premium feature: future letters are part of Angel Reminder Premium.
