inAmber: messages for the people you love, delivered on the day

inAmber is a UK service for writing, recording or filming messages that are delivered later, on a day you choose: a child's eighteenth birthday, a wedding morning, a Christmas years from now. You add the person once (their name, who they are to you and their birthday), record your message, then pick the day and seal it, and it arrives that morning. You can schedule a message up to 25 years ahead. An assistant called Amber suggests ideas and asks a gentle question to get you started, and there are ready-made idea packs for a baby, a partner, a parent, a grandchild, a friend and more. It suits parents writing to a new baby, grandparents with family stories to pass on, and anyone who wants their words to turn up on a day that matters.

Each message is encrypted and locked with its own key when you seal it, and inAmber says nobody there reads your words. Messages for under-18s go to a parent or guardian you name, who decides when to hand them over. You can download everything you've made, free, at any time.

What's worth a look

These are the plans and one-off options on inAmber's prices page, plus its gift for parents and grandparents.

The way it charges is worth knowing. A sealed message is paid for once, with no yearly or storage fee, so if you stop your plan everything you've sealed still arrives. The 2 messages a month plan at £7.99 is the one inAmber says most people choose. If you'd rather not subscribe, one message costs £9.99. As a gift, A Year of Stories (£49, paid once, nothing renews) sends Mum, Dad or a grandparent one question a month, and they answer by talking or writing and seal each story for the family. It arrives as a gift card by email on the day you choose, or you can print it, and they don't need to be good with technology: it's one email a month and one button.

Current offers

• 2 months free on yearly plans: switch the prices page from monthly to yearly to see it.
• Try it free, with no card needed until you seal a message.

How to save more

• Choose yearly billing if you know you'll keep going, as that's where the 2 free months come in.
• Unused messages carry over while your plan is live, and if you stop you keep them for 12 months, so a small plan can go further than it looks.
• Draft a few messages on the free trial before you pay. You only need a card when you seal one, and you can get a refund within 21 days of your first payment (a refund deletes what you made, so download it first).
