How it works
Safe until it's time.
Words Abide is simple on purpose: prepare the words, choose the people, and let gentle check-ins protect the promise.
-
Write and record.
Messages, letters, audio recordings, files. Organize them by person or group: one bundle for your kids, another for your brother.
-
Choose who gets what.
Each bundle goes to exactly the people you pick. They get nothing, and hear nothing from us, until delivery day. Optional gentle heads-up email so they can confirm their address; you choose.
-
Check-ins, on your terms.
Pick your rhythm: monthly is typical. We remind you kindly, you tap once, done. Answer by web, email link, or phone. Life happens: miss one and we simply try harder to reach you, several times, over your full grace window, before anything else occurs. The current default grace window is 14 days, and owners can configure it.
-
Delivery, only when it's time.
Only after every reminder goes unanswered through your full grace window do we deliver your words, exactly as you prepared them, to exactly the people you chose. A calm page, your voice, no ads, nothing else.
-
Change your mind anytime.
Edit, re-record, add people, pause everything. Your words, your rules, always.
-
The promise that outlasts a missed payment.
If your card ever fails, your messages stay protected anyway. Keep your subscription current so you can create and update messages, and see the exact lapse terms on pricing.
