Legacy OS · Guide5 May 2026

Posthumous messages to loved ones

Planning letters and timed delivery after death: consent, tone, and why scheduled messaging belongs in a dedicated legacy product.

Posthumous messages can comfort or destabilize depending on content and timing. Legacy OS is built so delivery is rule-bound — not an accidental send from a draft folder.

Consider recipients: age, emotional readiness, and whether a message should wait for a milestone. Write with clarity; ambiguity ages poorly.

You can revise until you are ready

Most plans improve over multiple drafts. Treat the first version as a sketch, not a final inscription.

Don't leave it in a drawer.

Write it in EternalSelf. Set who receives it, and when. 7-day free trial — no card required.
