You write, record or film messages for the people you love, and we deliver each one on the day that matters to them, up to 25 years ahead.

Only you and the person you wrote it for can read the message you've sent. For a child, the guardian you name keeps the messages safe until the day.

Each message is locked with its own key the moment you seal it. Nobody at inAmber reads it. We would only ever open one if you ask us to recover it, the person it's for asks, or the law requires it, and each time is recorded for good.

We follow UK data protection law (UK GDPR). That means we only keep what we need, we protect it with strong security, we never sell it, and you can see, download or delete it at any time.

Each quarter you get 3, 6 or 12 messages, depending on your plan, to write, record or film for anyone you love. Each one is delivered on the day you choose. You can schedule it up to 25 years ahead. Unused messages carry over while your plan is live. Paid a quarter or a year at a time. Pay for the year and you get 3 extra messages, all ready on day one.

Pick who it is for and we suggest ideas that fit, like their 18th birthday or Christmas. Amber asks a gentle question to help you start. Or write your own. Each message you seal uses one from your plan, however many people it is for.

You can stop any time. Everything you've sealed still arrives. Any unused messages are yours for 12 months: record, seal and send them whenever you like. Your drafts are kept for 30 days after that. Download everything, free, any time.

No. Once a message is sealed, it will arrive exactly as you left it. But you can delete it before its day and record it again. When you delete a sealed message, it goes back to your plan, ready to use. Once a message has been delivered, it can't be changed or given back.

A child under 18 never gets a message straight from us. When you write for a child, you name their parent or guardian. On the day, the message goes to that adult first. They can read it and decide if it's right for the child. They choose when to hand it over, straight away or when the time feels right. They can't change your words or delete them. The message belongs to the child. If it hasn't been handed over by their 18th birthday, it goes to them then. If we don't know a child's age, we treat them as under 18.

Yes. Each message in your plan can go to anyone you choose, so one plan covers the whole family.

Give it a date, such as Christmas morning or an eighteenth birthday, or a moment “if and when” it happens, such as a wedding morning. For those moments, your Guardian tells us when the day has come.

Someone you trust to tell us when an “if and when” moment has arrived. They never see your messages, and they can step down at any time.

Amber is our guide. She asks you good questions and helps you find your own words. She never writes for you.

Once sealed, a message’s words, recordings and photographs cannot be changed. Until it is delivered you can still change the day it arrives, and you can watch or listen to it whenever you like.

Yes, before its day, from inside the message, with your password. It goes back into your plan's messages. Once delivered, it belongs to the person it was for.

Never. Receiving is always free.

On the day you choose, we email the person you wrote for. The email has a link to your message. They set up a free account to open it. There is nothing for them to buy. Your message then stays in their account, to open again any time.

A message for a set day stays hidden until that day. They won't know it's coming. On the day, we surprise them with an email to say a message from you has arrived.

If you chose to let them open it when they're ready, it goes to them as soon as you seal it. They open it whenever they choose.

Any day up to 25 years ahead. Part of every payment is set aside to store and deliver your messages.

No. Nobody at inAmber reads your words. Each message is locked with its own key the moment you seal it. If anyone here ever has to open one, because you ask us to recover it, the person it is for asks, or the law requires it, that is recorded every time and the record can never be deleted.

A phone or a computer with a camera and microphone. You can check yours first, and headphones help, though they are not needed.

Anyone who loves someone: a parent writing for an eighteenth, a partner for an anniversary, a grandparent for Christmas morning.

In your vault: Account, Your plan. Stop in two taps, or move up or down any time. Everything you've sealed still arrives.

Yes. You can do everything on your phone. Go to inamber.ai and sign in. Write, record your voice or film yourself, all from your phone. Then seal it and get on with your day. There is no app to download.

We only ask for what we need to reach the people you write to: their name, the days that matter, and how to get your message to them. We never sell your details, and we never market to the people you write to. You can see, change or delete them at any time.

Yes. Checkout shows the price in your currency.

Yes. The Year Ahead is Keep given as a gift: twelve messages from you, the first on Christmas morning. Nothing renews unless you choose.

Yes, within 21 days of your first payment. A refund ends your plan and deletes everything you made with it, so download anything you want first. After your first payment we don't refund past months, but you can stop any time and keep your unused messages for 12 months. If your yearly plan renews and you change your mind, you can cancel within 14 days and get back the part you haven't used.

In London. Your account, your messages and your encrypted recordings are held by Supabase in London, and inAmber runs on Vercel's London region. Emails are sent through Resend, from Ireland. Payments go through Stripe, so we never hold your card details. Wherever you live, your data is kept in the UK under UK data protection law.

The detail is on our security page.

Every message is locked with its own key, using AES 256 encryption. Your voice and video are locked on your phone or computer before they reach us. Only the person you wrote for can open a message: they sign in with the email you gave us, and a forwarded link won't open it. Nobody at inAmber reads your messages, and no screen in our system shows them. Your messages are never used to train any computer model, never sold and never shared with advertisers.

The detail is on our security page.

Not in the strict sense, and we'd rather tell you why. A message has to open for the person you wrote for years from now, even if your phone or computer is long gone. So inAmber holds the master key, kept separately from the database. A copy of the database on its own contains no readable message. The full detail is on our security page.

It stays in London. The services we use grow with us in the same region, so more families means more room, not moving your data somewhere else. If we ever change where your data is held, we will update our security page and privacy policy before we do. You can download everything you've made, free, at any time.

Part of every payment is set aside to store and deliver your messages.
