Write nice things to Future You, and receive them in the future!

Write nice things to Future You and receive them in the future. Surprise yourself with kindness!

BACKSTORY "Where did this idea come from?!" you ask. Well, I originally made this app for myself.

I was using iOS Reminders to send my future self inspiring messages, but manually entering the dates was annoying. I just wanted to say nice stuff and my phone take care of planning/sending the notifications. So I made this app!

This app has been transformational in keeping me buoyant. Like, I'll get a notification from Past Me telling me to drop my shoulders and realize "Oh. Yeah. I'm stressing out over nothing." Boom.

Who was angsty five seconds ago but not right now?

This guy.

Bright Notes has been so useful for me that I made it into a full app to share with you. I hope it brightens your life!

This app has made an ongoing difference in my life, and I hope it does for you too.

Love this app so much. The only recommendation I have for the developer would be to have the notes we add repeat.

It's always great when you find ways to send your future self some love. I wasn't expecting much from this app, but I guess the randomness of getting nice notes from yourself is always a pleasant surprise. I now use this all the time and it definitely brings a smile to my face everytime I get a push notification. Thanks for making this app, Brett! The world needs more people like you.

It would’ve been perfect if not for the major problem that makes the app ineffective: inability to reuse notes. After typing out a bunch of notes full of my favorite quotes and reminders, they move to “inactive” after appearing and can’t be added back unless you manually retype every sentence. I think that completely defeats the purpose of the app, once you add desired notes you shouldn’t have to retype them every time you want to see them again. There should be a setting to automatically repeat notes and/or an option to select which ones you want to appear again.
