Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 4 of the 40 other journaling apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about FutureMe, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is a letter scheduler rather than a journal, attachments are Premium, and we could not read the Premium price from its public pages.

FutureMe lets you write a letter and have it emailed to you on a date you pick, free.

Writing and scheduling a letter to your future self on the site; images, videos and files are marked as a Premium feature.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | The Premium price could not be read from the public pages, so nothing can be compared. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Writing and scheduling letters is free, and one person could live on it. |
| Features | D | One narrow function: a letter scheduled for a date, with prompts and public letters. No entries, moods or search. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but it is a web page where you write and pick a date. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | A browser only, with no app listed anywhere on the pages we read. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- One-off letters to your future self rather than daily entries
- Teachers and programs that want students to write forward-dated letters
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
