Support the projectHow it works
Three quiet steps to lasting peace of mind.
- Record your messages — Record from your camera or upload a video. Add a title, a note, and choose who it is for.
- Choose how they arrive — Pick a delivery moment — after your passing, a birthday, a specific date, or a time capsule years from now.
- Careful confirmation — Delivery after your passing is never automatic. We confirm the moment through regular check-ins and a careful manual review, so messages reach loved ones exactly when intended.
Who it is for
For anyone with something worth saying — and someone worth saying it to.
- Parents and grandparents — Leave wisdom, blessings, and stories for children and grandchildren to keep forever.
- Partners — A final letter of love, recorded in your own voice, kept private until it is needed.
- Those who plan ahead — Account details, wishes, and guidance for the people who will carry on.
- Anyone facing uncertainty — Soldiers, travellers, and the unwell — peace of mind that your words are safe.
What the service offers
Everything you need so your words wait, safely, for their moment.
- Video & written messages — Record straight from your camera or upload a video, and add a written letter. Every message has a title, a note, and a chosen recipient.
- Capsules — Group messages into a capsule — a set of videos, letters, and files delivered together at the moment you choose.
- Flexible delivery scenarios — Choose when each message arrives: after confirmation of passing, on a date, a birthday, a child's coming of age, or as a time capsule years from now.
- Multi-channel notifications — Recipients are notified by email and other channels, each in their own language.
- Privacy & control — Videos are stored encrypted and opened only through short-lived links. Edit or delete anything while a message is still a draft.
For those who serve
The most important words, kept ahead of time
Service means long stretches away from family. Dlya Ridnyh lets you calmly record videos and letters for your loved ones and decide when they receive them. Your words are stored privately and delivered only by your rules — never automatically.
- ✓ Record at your own pace, whenever it suits you
- ✓ Private storage — only you can see your messages
- ✓ Delivered to family only after careful confirmation, never automatically
We built this section with respect for those who defend Ukraine and for their families.
The stories we work for
These are illustrative examples of how people might use the service.
A grandfather records a series of short videos — for an eighteenth birthday, a wedding, the birth of a great-grandchild. Each one waits for its day.
A mother leaves video letters for her children — for the moments she may not be there to share, to encourage them when it matters most.
Someone on duty records warm words for their family ahead of time. Peace of mind that the most important things have already been said and safely kept.
Built for privacy and trust
Your messages are deeply personal. We treat them that way.
- 🔒 Private by default — Only you can see your videos. They are never public and never shared without your rules.
- 🔐 Encrypted storage — Videos are stored privately and served only through short-lived, signed links.
- ✅ No automatic release — Messages are never released automatically. Confirmation requires regular check-ins and a careful manual review — no single step can release your messages.
- ⚙️ You stay in control — Edit, replace, or delete any message at any time, for as long as you wish.
