FutureMe and Our Fable
FutureMe is simple and useful for text-only future letters. Our Fable is a fuller family archive built around a child and the people who love them.
Different tools for different family jobs.
What it tends to do well
FutureMe is lightweight: write a letter, choose a date, and send it later by email.
FutureMe is best for sending a simple written email to yourself or someone else at a future date.
Where Our Fable is different
Our Fable supports many contributors and richer media, with standard milestone openings and custom future dates chosen by the family.
Our Fable is best for families who want more than one future letter: a private child archive with letters, voice notes, photos, videos, and contributions from the child’s circle.
Does Our Fable support letters to a child?
Yes. Letters are one of the core archive formats, alongside voice notes, photos, and videos.
Can Our Fable deliver at future milestones?
Yes. Families can use standard milestone ages and custom future dates.
Is Our Fable only for parents?
Parents create and manage the archive, but invited grandparents, relatives, godparents, chosen family, and close friends can contribute.
Our Fable is a private family memory archive for a child. Parents create the archive, invite the child’s circle, and preserve letters, voice notes, photos, and videos for future milestone openings.
