If You Are
Watching This

Say it now. They'll hear it when it matters.

Private video messages for the people you love, delivered only if you can't be there to say it yourself.

Free to record. Pay when you're ready to keep it. · Encrypted, with a key unique to you

An example of a message on iyawt: a young woman at her kitchen table, hand at her lips, quietly moved as she watches a message from her dad on her laptop.

How it works

Three steps. About five minutes.

  1. Record

    Talk to your phone or webcam for a minute, or upload a video you already have. Re-record as often as you like.

  2. Choose who it's for

    Pick the people who should receive it, and when: when the time comes, or on a birthday, graduation or wedding day.

  3. We keep it safe

    You check in with one tap. If you ever can’t, we deliver your message, only after careful safety steps.

Nothing is released by mistake.

A missed check-in starts a slow, careful process, not a delivery. One tap from you stops it at any step.

  1. 1Miss a check-in and nothing is sent

  3. 3Your trusted contact is asked
  4. 4A 7-day waiting period

Not sure what to say?

Most people start with one small question. Pick one and talk for a minute.

Questions people ask

What if it sends while I'm still here?

It can't on a single missed check-in. We remind you, ask again a month later, then ask your trusted contact, and finally wait 7 days. One tap from you stops it at any step.

Who can watch my videos?

Only the people you choose, when the time comes. Not advertisers, not your trusted contact.

Our staff don't watch your videos. No one at iyawt has routine access to them; the rare exceptions, like a legal requirement, need two people to approve and are logged.

What if my card expires or I stop paying?

A missed payment never sends your messages, and never deletes them without months of notice. We retry for 30 days and everything keeps working.

What if iyawt shuts down?

If iyawt ever closes, you'll get 90 days' notice, a full export, and the choice to send your messages early.

Can't I just save a video on my phone?

You can, but someone has to find it. Free tools hand over files. We hand over a moment, to the right person, at the right time.
