That message? Not yet.

It's 2 a.m. and you want to text your ex, fire back at your boss, say the unsayable to your parents. Midnight Drafts gives you a place to write it down and seal it — then open it in 12 hours, tomorrow, or in a year, and see whether you still want to send it.

Most people burn it.

■ Write it, seal it
· Say everything. No one can see it
· Pick a cooling-off time: 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, or any date
· Pour a drop of wax and press your seal — sealed notes can't be edited or opened early; you'll be notified when they're ready

■ When you open it, four choices
· Burn it: embers drift away, the text is gone for good
· Reseal it: not sure yet? Wait a little longer
· Add a line: what you'd say now, without changing the original
· Send it anyway: copy it and go — this time with a clear head

■ Wax seals
· 18 original crests plus seasonal specials, unlocked the more notes you hold back
· 10 wax colours including gold, silver, champagne and bronze metallics
· Make a seal from your own photo

■ Time capsules
· Write to yourself a year from now, to your child, to a future partner
· Notified when it opens; locked until then

■ Mood
· How you felt when writing vs. when opening, on a timeline
· Add your own moods
· Share the mood change as an image — without a word of the note

■ Share and send (optional; nothing happens unless you choose)
· Share a few lines: pick the sentences you're willing to show from an opened note; they become an image with your wax seal that you post wherever you like
· Send to someone: pack a note into an encrypted file and send it over any messenger, AirDrop or email; the recipient needs your passphrase to read it, and you can ask them to wait too

■ Genuinely private
· A 6-digit app passcode separate from your phone passcode, with lockout on repeated failures; Face ID / Touch ID optional
· Any note can carry its own reading password
· Everything is encrypted with a device key and stored on the device only; no account, no server, no ads, no analytics
· Notifications never show content

Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
