Private family email archive

Email your child now. Keep every note for later.

Letters gives each child a private inbox for the messages you do not want buried in a normal email account. Approve the family members you trust, collect notes and photos in one place, and keep a clean archive that is easy to revisit.

One inbox per child

A clean address to remember

Create an address like [email protected] for each child in your family.

Approved senders only

Family mail, not inbox clutter

You decide exactly which email addresses can send letters into each archive.

Notes plus attachments

Preserve the whole moment

Keep encouragement, milestone updates, photos, and files together with the email that brought them in.

How it works

A simple workflow for the moments you do not want to lose.

The product is intentionally quiet. Parents create the archive, approve family senders, and let ordinary email do the rest.

Step 1

Create a child mailbox

Add each child once and generate a dedicated address for their archive.

Step 2

Approve the family

Choose the email addresses that can send messages into each archive. Everyone else stays out.

Step 3

Send real-life notes

Family members email from the inboxes they already use. Notes, stories, and milestone photos arrive together.

Step 4

Revisit everything calmly

Browse the archive without promotions, spam, or noise. Just the messages that matter.

What you keep

An archive with shape, not just a pile of messages.

Letters keeps each note in the setting that gives it meaning: which child it belongs to, who sent it, when it arrived, and the photos or files that came with it. Instead of disappearing into a crowded inbox, each memory stays organized in one calm place.

Each note in context

Every note stays tied to the child, sender, and day it arrived.

Photos and attachments

Milestone photos and files remain attached to the note that brought them in.

A trusted sender list

Each archive stays intentionally small because only approved addresses can send.

A normal inbox

Busy, mixed, forgettable

Hard to preserve on purpose
  • Promotions, account alerts, and family messages end up in the same place.
  • Milestones get buried by the next hundred incoming emails.
  • There is no obvious archive for one child and one story.

Letters

Focused, private, easy to return to

Built for keepsakes
  • One private mailbox per child, with only approved family email addresses allowed.
  • Each message keeps its sender details, timing, and attachments together.
  • Parents can build the archive quietly until the time feels right to share it.

Questions parents ask

Who can send letters?

Only the email addresses you approve for that child's archive. Parents stay in control of who can send.

Do grandparents need an account?

No. Once their email address is approved, they can send from the inbox they already use.

What gets preserved?

The incoming message, the sender details, the date it arrived, and supported attachments stay with the archive.

Can I export the archive?

Yes. Each child's mailbox can be exported as a standard `.mbox` file, so you can keep a portable copy outside Letters whenever you want.

When do I share it with my child?

Whenever it feels right. Letters helps you keep the archive organized until that day matters to your family.

Start small

Build the archive one ordinary email at a time.

The best keepsakes are usually the everyday notes. Start with one child, one letter, and one family memory worth keeping.
