algernon - Private Letter To Future Self

Can I delete a letter after I've uploaded it to Algernon's cloud storage?

Algernon lets you delete letters, but with a catch: once a letter is uploaded to cloud storage, it cannot be fully deleted. If privacy is your primary concern, use the local storage option instead, which keeps your letter on your device where you have complete control over it.

Does Algernon require an account or email login to write a letter?

No account or sign-up is required. You write your letter, set a delivery date, and Algernon encrypts it in your browser before sending. You access the letter again through a private unique link rather than logging in.

What happens to my letter if the email delivery fails on the scheduled date?

Algernon does not publish details about email delivery failures or retry logic, so check their site for specifics on how they handle bounced messages or undelivered reminders before you schedule letters for important dates.

Can I add images, links, or other formatting to my letters?

Algernon supports plain text only, with no rich formatting, media uploads, or embedded links. If you need to include visual elements or styled content, you would need to describe them in text or use a different tool.
