Fill a jar of notes
How it works
They see a glass jar full of folded paper notes. With the first tap, the lid comes off and a note is drawn out, unfolds, and your words are written on it by hand. Every tap after that pulls the next note, and a small counter shows how many are still inside, so they can read them all at once or save some for later.
- 1
Choose the note paper: kraft, pastel or ivory.
- 2
Give the jar a label if you like, such as "Reasons I love you" or "Open when you need a smile".
- 3
Write 5 to 30 notes, one per line, each up to 120 characters.

Create the link and send it. They'll unfold the notes in the order you wrote them.
Notes people put in the jar
- The way you laugh at your own jokes before you finish them.
- You always save me the last bite.
- Sunday mornings with you and nowhere to be.
- You believed in me before I did.
- Your terrible singing in the car. Never stop.
- How you remember every little thing I tell you.
- The first time you held my hand and pretended it was an accident.
- Open this one on a hard day: you've survived every single one so far.
Made for anniversaries, Valentine's Day and birthdays (try one note per year of age), but also for a best friend's send-off, a parent's retirement, a teacher at the end of the year, or a jar of encouragement for someone going through a tough stretch.
Questions
How many notes can I put in the jar?
Between 5 and 30, each up to 120 characters. Thirty short notes fit comfortably in one link.
Do the notes come out in a set order?
Yes, in the order you wrote them, so you can build up to the one you want them to read last.
Can they stop and come back later?
Yes. The link keeps working, and the counter shows how many notes are left each time they open it.
What should I write on the label?
Anything that sets the theme: "Reasons I love you", "52 things I like about you", "Open when you miss me". The label is optional.
Is it private?
The jar is saved under a short private link that isn't listed anywhere. Only people you send it to can open it. It's kept for at least two years and deleted on request.
