toMeMail

toMeMail is a simple web application designed to send messages to yourself or your loved ones in the future. These messages are locked until their due date, fostering introspection and long-term reflection.

While time travel between different versions of yourself isn’t possible, toMeMail offers the next best thing: sending a message into the future and waiting for time to pass. For example, your 30-year-old self can write a message to your 60-year-old self, creating a bridge for introspection and self-discovery.
