The problem
"My kids won't remember what I was really like when they were young."
— Father of two, 41
"I have so much I want my grandchildren to know. But no way to reach them."
— Grandfather, 68
How it works
You're in complete control — what gets shared, with whom, and when. Nothing leaves the vault without your instructions.
Journal entries, letters to your children, life advice, confessions, memories. Write freely knowing it's private until you decide otherwise. Text, photos, and voice notes all supported.
Designate recipients for each piece of writing — your spouse gets everything, your daughter gets letters tagged "for her," your business partner gets your business reflections. Set delivery to specific milestones or after you're gone.
ReadWhen checks in with you periodically. If you stop responding, it alerts your designated executor. They confirm, and your vault is opened — gracefully, privately, exactly as you planned.
Not a data dump — a curated experience. Each person receives what you intended, in the order you intended, with the context you wrote for them. Like a letter in their mailbox, not a folder of files.
Features
Built for depth, not just storage. ReadWhen is the place for the things that actually matter.
Write a letter to your daughter today. Tell ReadWhen to deliver it on her wedding day, her 18th birthday, or when she has her first child. Whether you're there or not.
Some things are for your wife. Some for your kids. Some for your business partner. You control exactly who sees what — with the precision of a real trust.
Designate a trusted executor — a person who confirms the trigger and oversees delivery. Nothing automated without a human confirming the moment is right.
Your hard-won knowledge. Life lessons. The things you figured out the hard way. Organized and delivered as a living manual from you to the next generation.
Crypto keys, account credentials, where the bodies are buried. The practical side of dying, handled with the same care as the emotional side.
Regular check-ins keep your vault active. Miss three — a trusted person is notified. Miss five — delivery is triggered. Configurable, human-confirmed, never automated blindly.
Who it's for
Write each year. Delivered on milestones — 18th birthday, graduation, their first child. Your voice, across decades.
You built something. Leave your successor what they need to carry it forward — the full story, not just the org chart.
Things you always meant to say but never found the moment. Now you don't have to find the moment — ReadWhen finds it for you.
A private journal that becomes a gift. The full story of who you were, distilled and delivered to the people who deserved to know it.
