The most important message you'll ever send.
Leave your voice for the people you love, delivered gently, when the time comes. Not as a goodbye. As something to hold.
Easier than you think.
“This made me finally do the thing I'd been putting off for three years. I recorded four messages in one night.”
Here's what you're giving them.
Setting this up today is one of the most thoughtful things you'll ever do. Here's what your people will actually receive.
Everything so far is a gift you're leaving for someone else. But there's another kind of treasure worth protecting: the pieces of the people you've already lost. Away Message holds those, too.
Like your mom's voicemail, still on that old phone.
You probably have something on your phone right now that you'd be heartbroken to lose. Keep it here, safe and yours.
One message. Two moments.
The thing you record in a quiet moment today becomes the thing they hold onto on their hardest one. Here's the same message, from both sides.
Simple, honest pricing.
One payment. No renewals. Your words stored and delivered for life.
10% of your support goes directly to alleviate the financial burden of memorial services and provide grief support to those carrying grief. Because this work matters for our community.
“I built Away Message because I know what it's like to lose someone's voice. My mother passed when I was 13. With every year, her voice grew fainter. I'd give anything to hear her laugh, or even just say my name again. Away Message is what I wish she'd had, and what I'm building so the people I love will always have something to hold onto.”
We work alongside the families and care providers people already trust at life's most tender moments.
What actually stops this from sending while I'm alive?
Nothing is ever delivered on a timer or a guess. Your trusted Senders, usually three people you name, have to confirm together that the time has come. It takes two of them to agree, so no single person, and no mistake, can ever trigger delivery.
Can my Senders read my messages?
No. Senders only confirm when the time has come. They never see, hear, or open anything you've recorded. The contents are for your chosen recipients alone.
Is my voice and information private?
Yes. Your recordings are encrypted and stored securely. The photos you add to help yourself navigate your own people are kept private to you and are never transmitted to anyone.
What happens to my messages if Away Message goes away?
Your work is meant to outlast us. We hold your messages in trust with safeguards so that, whatever happens to the company, what you've left behind is preserved and still reaches the people you chose.
Can I change or add messages later?
Always. Come back any time to re-record, add new messages, reassign belongings, or update who your Senders and recipients are. Nothing is locked until it's delivered.
What can I record?
Voice, video, or written notes. You can also keep private keepsakes, like an old voicemail or a scanned photo, and assign belongings in the Who Gets What. No rush, and no right way to do it.
