Best for letters to your future self
FutureMe lets you write a letter and have it emailed to you on a date you pick, free. It is a letter scheduler rather than a journal, attachments are Premium, and we could not read the Premium price from its public pages.
Who FutureMe is for
- Fits if you want one letter to arrive in a year or five
- Works for people who want a prompt to start writing
Who FutureMe is not for
- Skip it if you want a daily journal, since it has no entries, moods or search
- Tight if you want pictures or files, as attachments are Premium
- Watch out: the Premium price could not be read from its public pages
- Watch out: no app is listed, only the browser
Why FutureMe gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe Premium price could not be read from the public pages, so nothing can be compared.
- BFree plan and trialWriting and scheduling letters is free, and one person could live on it.
- DFeaturesOne narrow function: a letter scheduled for a date, with prompts and public letters. No entries, moods or search.
- BEase of useNo rating on record, but it is a web page where you write and pick a date.
- CPlatforms and integrationsA browser only, with no app listed anywhere on the pages we read.

Keep FutureMe, or make your own?
Your call
A journal at its plainest is dated entries of text and photos.
You could make the core of FutureMe for yourself: daily notes and notes. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Daily notes and notes: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What this rests on. FutureMe’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is FutureMe?
FutureMe is a website where you write a letter to yourself and choose a date, from six months to ten years out, for it to be delivered. Letters can be kept private or shared publicly. A separate FutureMe Pro product lets schools and organizations embed letter writing on their own sites.
Worth knowing
- It is a letter scheduler, not a daily journal with entries, moods or search.
- The price of the consumer Premium membership could not be read from the public pages, so it is not listed here.
- FutureMe Pro for organizations is listed at $99 per year on its own page.
- It runs in a browser only; no app is listed on the pages we read.

- Public letters
