Sendoff

Everyone adds privately.
One person opens it, on the day.

A sealed group keepsake for retirements, graduations and goodbyes. Notes, photos, voice notes and video from everyone, kept private until the day, then theirs to keep.

Coming soon to the App Store. Organizers start one in the iPhone app; everyone else just needs the link.

A sealed Sendoff for Maria Reyes: her photo blurred behind the seal, and “Press and hold the seal”.

Retirement

Maria Reyes

From the whole fourth floor

Thirty-one years. We tried to fit it in here.

A photo entry, opened: the Wednesday lunch crew around a long table.

How it works

Four steps, one link.

  1. The Sendoff app asking “Who are we sending off?”, with a place for their photo, their name and who it is from.

    Start it in the app

    Who it is for, a photo if you like, and when it opens: on a date, or when you say. It takes a couple of minutes on iPhone.

  2. The share screen: a QR code and a link for Jo, with Share link and Save QR buttons.

    Share one link

    Send it wherever your group talks, or print the QR card for the break room or the inside of a real card.

  3. Adding to a Sendoff: “Write something only Jo will read”, with prompts, and Photo, Voice and Video buttons.

    Everyone adds privately

    A note, photos, a voice note or a video, from any phone or computer. No account, no app.

  4. A sealed Sendoff for Maria Reyes: her photo blurred behind the seal, and “Press and hold the seal”.

    They open it on the day

    It stays sealed until then. They press and hold the seal, and the entries open one at a time.

Why Sendoff

A sealed envelope, not a board.

  • Private by design

    Only the person it is for and the organizer read the entries, so people write what they mean, not what reads well to the room.

  • Sealed until the day

    It opens on the date you set, or when you say. Until then it is an envelope, not a board everyone scrolls.

  • Voices, not just signatures

    A voice note or a minute of video carries what a signature cannot.

  • Nothing to install

    Everyone adds from one link or a QR code, in any browser, with no account.

  • Opened like a letter

    One entry at a time, with a song from Apple Music on Plus.

  • Theirs to keep

    They can come back to it, print it or save it as a PDF, on every plan.

What goes in

More than a signature.

  • A written entry, opened: a note to Maria from her manager, Dan Okafor.

    A note

    Written for one reader, not the room.

  • A voice note, opened: a waveform, a play button and the words “you were the only one who learned my kids’ names.”

    A voice note

    Up to two minutes. The part people replay.

  • A photo entry, opened: the Wednesday lunch crew around a long table.

    Photos and video

    Up to six photos with each entry, or a minute of video.

Questions

Before you start.

Does everyone need the app?

No. Only the organizer uses the iPhone app, to start it and share the link. Everyone else adds from the link or a QR code in any browser, with no account. The person it is for opens it on any phone or computer.

Who can read what people write?

Only the person it is for and the organizer. People who add cannot read each other’s entries unless they choose to share theirs with the others who added.

What does it cost?

Starting one and collecting up to 10 entries is free. Sendoff ($8.99) holds up to 100 entries, and Sendoff Plus ($14.99) has no limit, every Plus look and a song from Apple Music. The organizer pays once, in the app; nobody who adds to it or opens it pays.

Does it work on Android?

Everyone who adds to a Sendoff, and the person it is for, can use any phone or computer with a browser. Starting one takes the iPhone app.

Can they keep it?

Yes. After the day it stays theirs to come back to, and they can print it or save it as a PDF, on every plan.

When can I start one?

Sendoff is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone. Companies and schools can write to us about a team plan now.
