Questions you might have

We've tried to anticipate what you're wondering.

No. They reply to email. That's it. No downloads, no accounts, no passwords to remember. If they can send an email, they can use Our Family Letters.

If they can reply to an email, they can do this. There's no app to download, no account to create, no password to remember. The question arrives in their inbox, they type a reply, and hit send. That's it.

No pressure. The next question comes when it's time. We never send guilt-tripping follow-ups or "we noticed you haven't replied" messages. Everyone moves at their own pace.

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. Start collecting stories, and if it's not right for your family, just let us know within 14 days for a full refund. No questions asked.

Yes, anytime. Weekly, fortnightly, or pick your own pace. You can adjust the schedule whenever you like—speed up, slow down, or pause completely.

Yes. Only you can see the archive. We don't share data with third parties, and your stories are never used to train AI models. Your data is stored securely in the UK. Delete anytime—gone is gone.

Right now, only you (the person who started the project) can see the archive. We're building the ability to share with other family members soon.

Your archive is yours forever. We will never delete it. Every story they shared is preserved exactly as they wrote it, and you can export everything anytime. This is one of the main reasons people use Our Family Letters—to capture these stories while there's still time.

We have a library of hundreds of thoughtful questions. We start with gentle warm-ups and gradually go deeper over time. You can skip any question that doesn't feel right, and we'll send the next one.

Your archive is yours forever, even if you don't renew. If you want another year of questions, you can renew. If not, your memories stay safe and accessible—we'll never hold them hostage.
