How Laterly Works
A simple, secure way to ensure your important messages reach your loved ones when they need to.
Why Laterly?
Life is unpredictable. Whether you're traveling solo, living with health concerns, or simply want peace of mind — some messages are too important to leave unsaid.
Laterly is a "dead man's switch" for your most important words. Write letters to your loved ones, and we'll deliver them only if you stop checking in. As long as you're here and active, your letters stay safely stored.
It's not about expecting the worst. It's about being prepared for anything while living fully in the present.
How It Works
Write Your Letter
Compose a heartfelt message to one or more recipients. Your letter is encrypted immediately.
Take your time. Edit as often as you need. Your letter remains private until the moment you choose to activate it.
Set Your Schedule
Choose how often you want to check in: every 14, 30, or 60 days.
Pro users can customize any interval. We recommend starting with 30 days — long enough to not be annoying, short enough to be meaningful.
Check In Regularly
We'll send you friendly email reminders. One click confirms you're well.
Miss a check-in? No panic. You have a grace period (default 7 days) with escalating reminders before any letter is sent.
Automatic Delivery
Only if all reminders go unanswered, your letters are delivered to recipients.
Recipients receive your message with no mention of the circumstances — just your words, delivered with care.
