About Me

I created Letter to the Future so you have a space to listen to yourself, write to yourself with intention and reconnect with who you are. A simple tool to remind you of what really matters.

Francisco Sánchez Gil

Hello, I'm Francisco Sánchez.

And before creating Letter to the Future… I wrote it to myself.

It wasn't a project thought up in an office with colourful post-its or a technical experiment. It was an act of emotional survival.

A while ago, I was going through one of those moments when everything wobbles. On the outside, it seemed like I had control, but on the inside, I felt lost, burnt out, without direction. I didn't know where I was going, only that I couldn't continue as I was. And in the midst of that chaos, I started writing.

At first, I didn't know what I was looking for. I just needed to get things out of me. I did it without rules, without judging myself. And one day, without thinking, I wrote to my future self. Not a simple letter with good wishes, but a direct message to that Francisco who dreamed of being better.

And that's when something unexpected happened: that letter became a beacon.

It helped me put words to what I felt, to what I wanted, and to what I didn't yet know how to ask for. It helped me hold on. To look forward when I didn't feel like getting up. To remember that I wasn't just what happened to me, but also what I decided to do with it.

The first version of this app I created just for myself. As a developer, I had the technical tools. As a person, I needed the emotional ones. But over time I realised something: if this was helping me, it could also help others. Those who are lost. Those who need clarity. Those who want to dream, heal, remember, or simply move forward.

And so Letter to the Future was born.

Not as a product. But as a bridge: between what you feel today and what you desire for tomorrow. A simple, human, and transformative tool. Because when you write, you listen to yourself. And when you write to your future self, you give yourself a real chance to get there.

This project isn't about me. It's about you. About what you dream, what you want, what you promise yourself in silence.

I only provided the structure. You provide the content.

Thank you for being here.

Francisco.
