What is FromPast?
FromPast lets you send messages to your future self and loved ones. Create digital time capsules with photos and videos that deliver at meaningful moments. Send yourself encouragement for free or surprise others at exactly the right time.
Problem
Users want to preserve memories and send meaningful messages to their future selves or others, but rely on physical time capsules, manual reminders, or basic calendar apps that lack emotional resonance, multimedia integration, and automated delivery tied to life milestones.
Solution
A digital time capsule platform where users create multimedia messages (photos, videos, text) scheduled for delivery at specific future dates, such as birthdays, graduations, or anniversaries. Example: A parent records a video message for their child’s 18th birthday.
Customers
Sentimental individuals, parents planning for children’s milestones, people undergoing life transitions (e.g., cancer patients), therapists/life coaches, and legacy planners.
Unique Features
Multimedia time capsules with emotional context, milestone-based scheduling (not just dates), and a free tier for self-messaging with paid options for gifting others.
