Honest answers to the questions families and agents ask us most.
A Chronicle is a sealed collection of voice recordings: your stories, your lessons, your love, delivered to the people you choose at the moments that matter most. A guided interview walks you through it question by question. You speak; we seal it; it arrives exactly when it should.
A Legacy Chronicle is your voice, recorded for someone you love. Your children, grandchildren, or anyone who matters. It is sealed and delivered at the milestones you choose. A Living Chronicle belongs to a child: family and friends contribute recorded messages (and can give toward the child's future through linked financial accounts) that arrive together on milestone days.
No. You don't need notes, a script, or the right words. The guided interview asks one question at a time, and you simply speak from where you are. You can pause between questions, skip any question, re-record anything, and come back as many times as you like.
Most people record their first chapter in about 20 minutes, and most come back to add more. There is no deadline, and nothing locks until you choose to seal it. Any single answer can run up to ten minutes, and a personal message up to thirty. If you have more to say than that, keep going in another answer. Nobody has ever run out of room.
No — never. We will never listen to, transcribe, or analyze what you record. Not one word. Your recordings belong to the people you named, and no one else. This promise is written into our Chronicle Covenant.
No. Your Keeper protects and manages your Chronicle, and makes sure it reaches the right people at the right time. But they cannot listen to what's inside. The seal is real.
Yes. On a Living Chronicle, the child's parent or legal guardian will be able to listen to anything recorded for their child, at any time. Everyone who records is told this before they begin.
A Chronicle invites the people who love a child to leave them a message years in advance. That is a private channel from an adult to a child, and we are not willing to leave it unattended. This is the parent, not the Keeper — a Keeper manages dates and delivery, and that job never requires hearing anything.
A parent will be able to hold an individual message back from a childhood milestone. Holding is not deleting: nothing is ever deleted, a hold covers only that one message, and the rest of the Chronicle opens exactly as planned.
Anything held back goes to the child when they are grown, along with a note that it was held. From that point the decision is theirs, not their parent's. A parent's authority protects a childhood; it does not extend to controlling what an adult may know.
No, and it should never be used as one. A Chronicle is slow by design, it is heard by the parent, and it reaches the child years later. If a child is being hurt, that needs someone who can act today — a doctor, a teacher, a police officer, or a child protection line.
We would rather be clear that we are the wrong tool than have someone use us instead of telling a person who can help.
We never delete recordings due to inactivity, missed payments, or the passage of time. Once sealed, your voice is protected. Full stop.
You may export your recordings at any time — they are yours. Your Chronicle is stored redundantly, and our commitment is that no family ever loses a sealed voice. We built this company because of what a saved voice means; protecting yours is the entire point.
Every recording is written to two independent storage vaults, a primary and a backup, and we confirm both writes before we tell you your voice is safe. You never get a receipt for a recording that did not land. If either copy fails, we are alerted immediately and we come and fix it. We are also working toward a third copy held by a separate company in cold storage, so that no single provider's failure could ever cost a family a voice. When that is in place, we will say so here.
Your recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest, playback requires verified sign-in as the Chronicle's owner, and no recording is ever publicly reachable by URL. We treat your Chronicle as an irreplaceable archive — because that's what it is. And we'll be honest with you the way we'd want a company to be honest with us: security is never "finished." An independent security review is part of our launch commitments, and our custody promises are published where you can read them, not buried in fine print.
No Chronicle is ever released on one person's word. A release requires two living voices: the Keeper who begins it, and a second person who confirms it, with a waiting window in between, during which the Author is contacted directly and any response stops everything. When timing matters, such as funeral traditions that gather families within a day or two, confirmation from a licensed funeral home can serve as that second voice, verified through the funeral home's own published contact information and never through a number someone hands us. Careful by design, human at every step.
For everyday questions, we answer email at contact@tomorrowfromtoday.com — a real person reads every message. And here is a promise we've made permanent: a family in grief is always answered by a human being. Questions can wait for morning; grief cannot, and no family navigating a loss will ever be handed to a machine.
Sealing protects your recordings and sets them on their path to delivery. It's the moment your words become a gift in motion. And the door stays open — you can return to your Chronicle anytime to add more recordings, even after sealing.
You choose the moments — a birthday, a graduation, a wedding day, or simply "whenever they need me." Your Keeper helps ensure everything reaches the right hands. Milestone messages arrive at the moments you chose; some messages, like "whenever they need me," are always available to the person you recorded them for.
It's the one that says everything — held safely until your family needs it most. It's also completely optional, and never required to seal your Chronicle. Many people aren't ready to record it on their first visit. It will be there whenever you are.
Your Keeper is the person you trust to protect your Chronicle — often a spouse, an adult child, or a close friend. You name them during your Chronicle, and they help make sure your recordings reach the right people at the right moments. They can manage delivery, but they can never listen.
A Legacy Chronicle is a one-time $79 at our founding rate — no subscription, no recurring fees, and your recordings are never held hostage to a payment.
No. We are not a bank, investment advisor, or broker-dealer, and we never touch funds. When family members give toward a child's future through a Living Chronicle, they use gifting links that go directly to the financial institution holding the account. The voice comes through us; the money never does.
Yes, and families do this all the time. The Chronicle itself needs no SSN at all: you can start recording for your child before they're even born. On the gifting side, 529 plans do require the beneficiary's SSN, so families commonly open the account with a parent as the initial beneficiary, then transfer it to the child once their SSN arrives. That's a standard, tax-free change under 529 rules. The voice and the savings can both start on day one. (Plan mechanics vary — your plan provider or financial professional can walk you through the specifics. We never touch or manage the money side.)
Agents share personalized Chronicle links with clients, and every Chronicle sealed through your link appears on your agent dashboard. Your clients get something no other agent offers them — and something they can never take to a competitor. Visit our For Professionals section or email contact@tomorrowfromtoday.com to learn about founding agent memberships.
You do not need one. Your email is your key, and we send you a secure sign-in link whenever you return. But you can set a password from your dashboard, and we suggest it. A password means you can get straight back into your Chronicle without waiting on an email, which matters when you are adding to it over years rather than days. Either way works, and either way your email is how we make sure it is really you.
Yes. You can add photos to your family history recordings: a face to go with the memory, a place, a moment. We ask that photos be personal memories only, never documents, IDs, or anything containing sensitive information. Your Chronicle is a memory, not a filing cabinet.
Yes, and for some families this is the most important thing we do. A voicemail you never deleted. A cassette of a wedding. An answering machine tape. A message on a card that still plays. If a voice exists on something that will not last forever, you can add it to a Chronicle from your dashboard, under Recordings you already have. You tell us whose voice it is, because the file cannot, and you can add a date or a note whenever you like. It is then kept exactly the way every other recording is kept, and it plays alongside them when the Chronicle opens.
We built this because some of the voices that matter most were never going to be recorded here. Some belong to people who are already gone.
Anytime before sealing. And honestly? The version where your voice cracks, where you laugh mid-sentence, where you pause to find the words — that's usually the one they'll treasure. Perfect isn't the point. You are.
First, try opening tomorrowfromtoday.com on your phone using cellular data (Wi-Fi turned off). If it loads there, the site is healthy and your home or office network is having trouble reaching it — this is almost always a quick fix. Restart your router (unplug for 30 seconds), and if that doesn't do it, check whether your router or internet provider has a "safe browsing" or security-filter feature that may need to allow our site. Still stuck? Email contact@tomorrowfromtoday.com and we'll walk you through it.
Then you're doing it right. Some questions bring up things you haven't thought about in years. Some people cry. All of that is welcome here. Take a break and come back tomorrow. Your Chronicle waits for you. And if you're carrying something heavy, you can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and there 24/7 — anytime.
