What is Future Memories?
"Create memories that will be revealed in the future. Leave messages for yourself, your friends, and your family."
Problem
Users currently rely on physical methods (e.g., handwritten letters) or generic reminder apps to send messages to their future selves or others. Physical methods are easily lost or damaged, while generic apps lack emotional engagement and dedicated features for time-based memory creation.
Solution
A digital platform (web/mobile app) enabling users to create and schedule time-capsule messages for future delivery. Users can leave text, audio, or video messages for themselves or others, set to unlock on specific dates (e.g., a parent’s message for a child’s 18th birthday).
Customers
Individuals planning for milestones (birthdays, graduations), families preserving memories, and sentimental users seeking emotional connections across time. Demographics span ages 18-45, tech-savvy, and value-driven.
Unique Features
Combines time-locked messaging with multimedia support, private/public sharing options, and a focus on emotional legacy-building rather than simple reminders.
