A private vault

Say everything now.
They’ll read it when the time is right.

A private vault for those who cannot be there right now. Sealed until you decide your loved one is ready, in a week or in twenty years.

For every birthday you couldn’t be there. Every question you wished you could answer. Every ‘I love you’ you had nowhere to send.
DearYou keeps it all, so one day they can know you never stopped trying to reach them.

A private safe space

DearYou is your private vault.
You hold the key.

Your letters, photos, voice notes and videos stay protected and out of sight until you choose to release them.

Nothing is readable by us.

What you can leave
  • Who it’s for

    For parents, stepparents, grandparents and family members separated by distance they never wanted, but still holding onto love, memories and hope.

  • What it is

    DearYou is a private place to preserve letters, photos, voice notes and videos, kept safely until the moment they are ready to be received.

  • Why it matters

    Because distance leaves questions unanswered. DearYou keeps your words and memories, so one day they can hear your story from you.

How it
works.

You don’t need to get it perfect. Just speak from the heart. One day, they’ll thank you for it.

  1. 01

    Create it while you can

    Write a letter, leave a voice note on the way home, record a video that lasts forever or take a photo that says a thousand words.

  2. 02

    Seal it in the vault

    Sealed entries are encrypted and locked from view until you say. Nothing is sent, nothing is shared, nothing surfaces by accident.

  3. 03

    Release it when it is time

    When the time comes, they use a code to gain access to a private place made just for them. Everything you kept, waiting exactly as you left it. A place you created for them.

What you can leave

  1. A letter for them

    Put the words somewhere safe.

    Write what you wish they could hear today. Keep it here until the day they can.

    01

  2. Your actual voice

    Record straight from your device.

    Your laugh, the way you say their name, the pause before you say something important. None of that survives in a photograph. Leave your actual voice, not just your words.

  3. Video messages

    So they can see you saying it.

    A birthday, a first day of school, the advice you wish to give in person. Recorded once, kept exactly as sent.

  4. Photographs and keepsakes

    Some things say more than a letter ever could.

    Upload the photographs, the certificates, the small handwritten notes that never made it into an album. A short caption keeps the memory attached to the image, long after you are not there to explain it.

  5. Release on your terms

    The right moment isn’t always one you can predict.

    Set a date years ahead, hand it over yourself when the time feels right, or trust someone close to you to know when it is needed.

    • In person
    • On a date
    • By a trusted person

    05

Distance is not the same as absence

A deployment, a diagnosis, a custody arrangement that keeps you from the room. A distance no one chose but everyone has to live with.

DearYou was built for the ones still showing up, even when they cannot be there, and for the ones who know how short the window is.

From the first hundred families

I am not writing to convince her of anything. I am writing so there is no doubt left about how much I loved her, the whole time.
I keep uploading what I can because I don’t know what she has been told about the years we lost. I just want her to have my words, in my own voice, when she is ready.
I missed birthdays I would have given anything to be part of. So I write something every year, because I want him to know I never stopped remembering.
I’m keeping these memories for her because I want her to know she was loved by more people than she may ever have realised.
Writing here gives me a little peace. I cannot change the time we have lost, but I no longer feel like all the things I want to say are disappearing with it.
I was there for so many of the small moments that made up his childhood. Writing them down helps me hold onto the part of our story that still matters to me.
