Promises you can check on later
Most resolutions are forgotten by February, partly because nobody can find them. Here you write them as a letter to yourself, seal it and let it open on a day you choose, a year from now unless you pick another.
Until then the link shows a sealed envelope, who it is from and a countdown. On the day the envelope opens and your promises appear with the date you wrote them, so you can see which ones you kept.
How to seal your resolutions
Writing your list is free; an account is only needed to make the link.
Edit the list already in the letter: your promises, one per line.
Pick the day it opens: in a year by default, or any date you prefer.
Sign in, create the link and keep it, or send it to a friend to share the promise.
What the page does
A ready letter and a sealed envelope.
- A starting list of numbered promises to replace with your own
- Quick picks for the opening day, including one year
- The text stays hidden until the opening day
Who writes them
Anyone who wants to be held to a promise.
A New Year list for the 31st of December, opened next December.
A pair of friends who swap resolutions and check them in a year.
A team sealing its goals for the year.
A student writing goals to read at the end of term.
How the resolutions stay sealed
The opening day counts from midnight in your own time zone, which is saved with the letter, and the text is not sent to the browser before then.
On the day the page asks the server again and the letter arrives with the date it was written.
Good to know
There is no email reminder: keep the link in a place you will look on the day.
The author can edit the text or move the day later; the link stays the same.
Tips
- Keep to three to five promises you can actually check.
- Write how you will know each one worked.
Questions about sealed resolutions
Can someone read my resolutions early?
No. Until the opening day the text is not sent to the browser; the link shows only the envelope and the countdown.
Do I need an account?
Writing is free, but an account is needed to create the link.
Can I open it earlier than a year?
Yes. Pick any day, from one month ahead to the year 2100.
Can I change the promises later?
Yes. The author can edit the letter or move the day, and the link stays the same.
