How It Works
Messages That Matter, Whenever They Matter
Your words. Your love. Timed perfectly for life's biggest moments.
WhenIWasHere.org makes it simple to create meaningful, private messages and ensure they're shared at the perfect moment, even decades from now. Here's how:
Write a Message
Choose the format that feels right for you: heartfelt text, a recorded voice note, or a video message.
Add up to 10 recipients for each message, and include photos or videos (up to 500MB total per message) to make it even more personal.
Choose the Moment
Decide when your message should arrive:
Exact Date
A specific day in the future (e.g., January 5, 2036)
Milestone
A special event in someone's life (e.g., "When my child gets married" or "On your graduation day")
You can update milestone dates at any time, so your message is always ready for the right moment.
We Deliver It
When the moment arrives, your recipients get an email with a secure link to your message.
If it's a milestone message, we'll only send it when you (or your authorized person) update the date to confirm the event has happened.
Your Privacy is Protected
All messages are encrypted and stored securely.
Only your chosen recipients can see the message, no one else! Even your authorized person cannot read the content or open attachments.
Assign an Authorized Person (Optional)
Name one or more trusted people who can:
- Update milestone dates
- Edit contact information (example: if someone changed email address)
- See message subjects only (never the private content)
This ensures your messages are delivered exactly as you intended, even if you can't manage your account yourself anymore.
Pricing
We keep it simple and affordable. This is made for love and connection, not for profits!
