A letter to your future self, every Pride.
A private, on-device ritual built into XtrkR. Each June, write a short letter to the version of you who'll read it next Pride. Five prompts. Sealed for twelve months. Opens June 1 of the following year.
BEGINNINGS · 2026
01. What it is
Pride Wrapped is a year-long capsule. During the writing window each June, the app prompts you with five short questions about who you are right now, what you're hoping for, and what you want to leave behind. You write. You seal. Then nothing — the capsule stays closed for a full year.
On June 1 of the following year, it unlocks. You read what last year's you wrote, alongside an eight-card watercolor deck of queer history I curated for that cohort year — from Wilde's green carnation to Compton's Cafeteria, Café 't Mandje to Sylvester. Your story, in the long company of ours.
02. The ritual
Writing window opens
Five prompts, one per screen, in your own voice. Save and come back as many times as you want before the window closes (unsealed drafts get a one-week grace period to seal before they expire).
Sealed for twelve months
Once sealed, the capsule is locked. The app shows the envelope, but the reveal's a surprise — even for you. There's an “open early” option behind a warning, but the ritual is built around the wait.
Capsule opens
Read your own letter. Walk through the queer-history deck for your cohort year. The capsule stays accessible for as long as you keep the app installed — you can revisit it next year, or five years from now.
03. Walk the ritual
Seven surfaces, in order — from the patient pre-window quiet, through the writing flow and the sealed envelope, to the read-back a year later. Captures from the live build.
04. How cohorts work
Your cohort year is the June you wrote in. Write a capsule in June 2026 and you're Class of 2026 — that's what your sealed envelope is stamped with, and it's what unlocks for you on June 1, 2027. Each cohort year has its own eight-card queer-history deck, with its own neon wordmark for Year-End Wrapped and its own theme. Year 1 (2026) is BEGINNINGS.
You can keep writing every June. Returning users see all their past capsules alongside the new one. No one's capsule is ever migrated, regenerated, or rewritten — what you wrote that June is exactly what unlocks the following June.
05. Pricing & the 2026 launch gift
The Wrapped Pass — $9.99 per cohort year — covers the year's paid Wrapped decks (for 2026, that's Year-End Wrapped, dropping January 2027). It's available standalone to Core owners and free-tier users, and included free with XtrkR+ ($49.99/year).
Pride Month launch gift: Pride Wrapped 2026 — the very first Pride Wrapped year — is free for everyone. Year-End Wrapped 2026 stays at the standard $9.99 Wrapped Pass.
If you didn't seal a capsule this June, you still keep Pride Wrapped 2026 free — you'll see the history deck portion and can write your first capsule next June. Pricing details and the full guardrails are at /pricing-ethics.
06. Privacy
Pride Wrapped lives on your iPhone. Every prompt, every word you write, every sealed capsule — stored locally in the app's encrypted database, never on a server I operate. There's no XtrkR account, no cloud sync of your capsule contents, no analytics on what you write. Encrypted iCloud backup is opt-in and end-to-end, with your key on top of Apple's. Full architecture detail at /how-we-protect-you.
If you uninstall XtrkR, your capsules go with the app — there's no copy anywhere else. If you reinstall and restore from encrypted iCloud backup, they come back. Otherwise, they're gone. That's the trade-off of a local-first ritual: only you have it, but only you have it.
