About us

Our mission

At Your Last Letter, our mission is simple: to give you peace of mind. Life is unpredictable, and while we can’t control what happens, we can make sure our loved ones receive the words, memories, and practical information that truly matter.

By combining security, privacy, and trust, we’ve built a platform that makes it easy to prepare messages, check in regularly, and know everything will be taken care of – without worry.

Why we started

Like many ideas, Your Last Letter grew out of a personal need.
For years, I was searching for a safe and flexible way to pass on my personal “digital world” – things like my computer setup, passwords that change often, and the small but important details of my hobbies – to my partner Susan and close friends.

A will covers the official side of things, but it doesn’t handle the everyday, ever-changing details of modern life. I wanted something more dynamic.

And then I became a father. Parenthood made me realize just how valuable it would be to leave behind not only practical instructions, but also memories, stories, and life lessons for my child to receive later in life. That’s when the idea of Your Last Letter really came to life.

Our values

Peace of mind
Once set up, you can relax knowing everything is taken care of.
Privacy & Security
Your data is encrypted, stored in multiple safe locations, and protected at all times.
Sustainability
Unlike free “short-term” solutions, Your Last Letter is built to last, with a reliable business model and ongoing support.
Empathy
we know death is inevitable, but talking about it doesn’t have to feel heavy. We focus on care, clarity, and human connection.

Who we are

Your Last Letter is founded by Martijn & run by a small team of creators, designers, and developers – led from the Netherlands. While the project started with me, it has grown with the help of collaborators who believe in building something trustworthy and long-lasting.

Being based in the Netherlands also means your data benefits from strict European privacy laws. Everything is hosted and protected within the EU.

Built for the long term

We know that peace of mind only works if the platform is here for the future. That’s why Your Last Letter is a registered business (KVK 77041755, BTW/VAT NL003151916B91) and is built on solid, sustainable foundations.

No “free for now, gone tomorrow” approach – but a reliable service you can truly count on.
