Write a graduation message for after the ceremony
Updated
Write your note and add a school photo. You can share the link before graduation day. It opens at the time you choose after the ceremony.
Postdate shares a message and files through one link that opens at the time you choose. With Basic, Postdate holds the key until then; with Timelock, the key needs a scheduled drand release.

Send it before it opens
It can be hard to write a note between the ceremony and family photos. Write it the day before.
Choose an opening time after the ceremony is due to end or later that evening. Share the link the night before.
What people see
Before the opening time, the graduate sees a countdown. They can add a calendar event and copy the link. Your public teaser appears if you wrote one. The message and attachments stay encrypted until the opening time. They can then open the message in their browser. A celebration plays if you added one. The link expires after your chosen availability period, counted from the opening time.
Adding a calendar event downloads a file to import into your calendar. Set any reminder there. Postdate does not send opening notifications.
