Who they are right now won't keep.
Write it tonight. It arrives on the day.
Write a letter to your baby tonight and Cronote delivers it on the exact day you choose, on their first birthday or their eighteenth. Or keep a first-year capsule, a photo and a note each month, that grandparents and friends can add to from anywhere. With the photos and video of right now.
Free to start. Delivered by email or text. No app or account for anyone, grandma included. Sending scheduled notes since 2010.
Sealed tonight. Opened on the day.
No box to store, no draft to remember. The letter, and the photos of right now, travel on their own.
You write it
Ten honest minutes about who they are right now. Attach today's photos and a video of this exact age.
It stays sealed
Cronote holds it. You never have to store a box or remember a folder.
It arrives
On the birthday you picked, by email or text, with everything you sealed inside. No app or account on their end.
The letter your kid opens at eighteen gets written tonight, while you still remember exactly how they smell.
The first year is a blur, and then it is gone.
You mean to write it down. But the notebook stops at week three, the group text scrolls away, and the photos pile up in a phone nobody will scroll back through in fifteen years.
Write it once. It arrives on the day.
- Write the letter: Say what today is like, who they are right now, what you hope for them. Attach today's photos or a video.
- Pick who opens it: Your child on a future birthday, or yourself as the keeper. They get it by email or text, no app or account.
- Pick the day: A first birthday, an eighteenth, a graduation. Any date, any distance out, one letter or one a year.
- Or keep a capsule: For the first year, add a photo and a note each month. Grandparents and friends add from their own phones.
- Confirm your email: One tap after you sign up, so your letter's delivery is never held. This is the step people skip and regret.
Three worth writing tonight.
Each takes ten minutes now and lands as something unforgettable later.
A letter for their 18th birthday
Write to your baby today, at the age they are right now, and it arrives the morning they turn eighteen. Who they were, what you hoped for them, and the photos of this exact age. One letter, or one every birthday until then.
Moment
The first-year capsule
Each month of the first year, add a photo and a note about who they are right now. Grandparents and friends add theirs from their own phones, and it opens together on their first birthday.
A note for every birthday
One short letter a year, written on each birthday, that they open when they are grown. A stack of who they were at one, at five, at ten, waiting for the day you choose.

Common questions
Will it really arrive years from now?
Yes. Cronote has been delivering scheduled messages since 2010, and a letter's delivery date can be any day you choose, with no maximum. It fires on the exact date.
Can grandparents and friends add to it?
Yes. Share one link and each person adds a photo or a note from their own phone. On the first-year capsule, everyone contributes month by month. No one needs an app or account.
What is the first-year capsule?
A capsule that recurs monthly through the first year. Each month you, and anyone you invite, add a photo and a short note about who they are right now, and it opens together on the day you pick.
Does my child need an account to open it?
No. The letter arrives as a normal email or text on the day, with your photos and video included. They open it in their browser.
Can I attach photos or video?
Yes. Attach the photos and video of right now, and they arrive sealed with the letter.
What does it cost?
Cronote is free, including unlimited app and email delivery. Text messages use one-time credit packs that never expire; there is no monthly fee.
