DearMe: Letters to Future Me

We remember what happened, but not how it felt: what we were afraid of, what the street looked like, how our voice sounded on an ordinary Tuesday. DearMe keeps those things in envelopes. Write a letter, add a photo or a minute of your voice, pick a day and seal it. Until that day it can't be opened, not even by you. Free, no ads, no account, nothing leaves your phone.

✉️ LETTERS TO YOUR FUTURE SELF
• Text, several photos (back camera, selfie, both at once, or from the gallery) and a voice note of up to a minute
• Opens in a week, a month, 1, 5, 10 or 30 years, or on any date you pick
• 40 questions for when the page is blank: What are you most afraid of right now? Who do you miss? What will you laugh at when you read this?

🎲 RANDOM MOMENTS
• Every day at a surprise time inside your window, DearMe calls: two minutes, what's happening right now?
• A dual shot (back camera, then a selfie a second later) and one line, sealed. Late answers get a stamp
• Step by step: moments open after a week while the habit is new, after a month in the first year, after a year from then on, so there is something to open from the second week

🕯️ RITUALS
• Your own rules for when to be called: a random or exact time, chosen weekdays, once a month or once a year
• What goes in: photo mode, a line or a letter, voice, a question, and how long it stays sealed
• Templates: Random moment, Sunday letter, First of the month, Birthday letter

🔴 THE SEAL
• A sealed letter shows only its date, a countdown and what's inside: 📷 2 · 🎙 0:42 · 340 words
• When the day comes, you break the wax and the flap lifts
• Moving the phone's date forward doesn't open anything: DearMe checks the clock against time since boot and, when online, against the network

↩️ AFTER OPENING
• Then & now: stand where you stood and take the same shot today, the two go side by side
• Write back: reply to your past self, and the answer is sealed for the next stretch
• Share cards: "I sealed a letter to myself, it opens on 14 October 2056", an opened letter with its photo, then & now

ALSO
• A one-file backup with every letter, photo and voice note to carry to the next phone, scrambled inside so unzipping it doesn't spoil unopened letters
• Light and dark themes
• English and Russian
• Free and open source (MIT)

Privacy: no account, no servers, no analytics, no ads. Letters, photos and voice notes stay on your phone. The only network request is a quiet look at the network clock before a seal is broken.

Honest about the lock: there is no server, so the seal is a strong habit, not a vault. It's a diary lock for the person you're going to be.
