Open when letters, sent as a link

Open when letters are letters you write ahead of time, each one for a moment: “open when you miss me”, “open when you can't sleep”, “open when you had a bad day”. They read the one they need, when they need it.

With Wishfor you write them on your phone and send them as one WhatsApp link. They get a little wooden box of envelopes. Each envelope has its "open when" on the tab, and they tear it open themselves.

A wooden box of open when envelopes, each with its own tab

One envelope taken out, ready to be torn open

The letter inside, typed out line by line

How it works

Write 2 to 6 letters. For each one, finish the line "open when …" and write the letter inside.
Add a short note for the lid, like "Read me first".
Watch it free exactly as they will see it, then pay ₹99 once and send the link on WhatsApp.
They open the box, pick an envelope, pull the strip to tear it open, and your letter types itself out.
You know when. Add your WhatsApp number and you get a message the first time each envelope is opened.

Each letter is sent to their phone only when they tear that envelope. Nobody can read ahead by looking at the link.

What to write inside

Start with the moment. "You had a bad day. I'm sorry I'm not there."
Say one true thing. A memory, a reason you love them, something only you two know.
End with what you'd do if you were there. "I'd make you tea and let you talk."

Keep each one short. A few lines that sound like you are better than a page that sounds like a card.

Good for

Long distance, when you can't be there for the bad days.
A partner leaving for a new job, study abroad or a long trip.
A best friend moving to a new city.
A birthday or anniversary, with one envelope for the day itself and the rest for later.

What it costs

₹99, paid once. The link stays open for a year, so they can come back to the box whenever a moment comes.

Questions

What are open when letters?

Letters written ahead of time, each one marked for a moment, like "open when you miss me" or "open when you can't sleep". They open the one that fits how they feel.

How many letters can I put in the box?

From 2 to 6. Each one has its own "open when" line and a letter of up to 900 characters.

Can they read all the letters at once?

They can open any envelope, any time. A note on the box asks them to open each one only when it's true, and you get a WhatsApp message the first time each one is opened.

Do they need an app?

No. The link opens in the phone's browser from WhatsApp, on iPhone and Android.

Can I send it now and have it open later?

Yes. When you watch your box before paying, pick "At a set time" and choose the day and time. Until then they see a countdown on the box.
