Before cancer took my father, I filmed him holding my infant son, leaving a message for a boy who'd never know him any other way.

Be there, even when you can't.
A message you make today, delivered on the day it matters.
Away Today isn't open yet. Join the list and you'll get one email when it opens. Nothing else, ever.
What we keep
What we keep: your email, the optional note about who your first Moment is for, and the link that brought you here (if there was one), with the date you signed up. It is stored with Cloudflare, our host. This page loads nothing from other sites. We use it only to send you one message when Away Today opens, and to see which videos or links bring people here. We never sell it. To be removed, email hello@awaytoday.app.

"You're going to walk in there like you own the place. You always have."— Dad No app. No account. Just her inbox.
Written down before the first line of code.
Away Today isn't open yet. These are the rules we're building it to.
- Payment never decides whether a Moment is kept or delivered.
- Moments never expire.
- Recipients never pay.
- No ads. No selling data.
- “Delivered” is the only report.
- Anyone can decline what's sent them.
- No one at Away Today looks at your Moments.
“Will you still be here in ten years?”
If Away Today ever winds down, delivering and returning your Moments comes first.
The full plan will be published before we take anyone's first Moment.
Someone will need to hear from you.
