Encore

Most digital greetings are a single moment: they open the link, the reveal plays, and a week later it's gone. A free WishCopy wish is the same — the link and anything attached to it are deleted 7 days after the reveal. Encore is what keeps it. It's a paid add-on that takes the wish off that deletion clock for good, so the link stays openable with no time limit, and it lets you schedule dated follow-up notes — Encores — that quietly appear on that same link, each on a date you choose. The person who received it doesn't need an account, an app, or a new link; everything just stays where they already have it.

How it works

1. Send a solo Interactive Experience wish as normal — the message, the reveal format, any photos or a voice message.
2. On the confirmation screen (or later, from your Sent list on the same device), open that wish's Encore page.
3. Unlock Encore once — a single $4.99 USD payment. From that moment the wish is permanent: it comes off the 7-day deletion clock and stays online until you delete it yourself. The same payment gives you 12 follow-up notes to schedule on it.
4. Write each note, add a photo and/or a GIF if you want, and pick the exact date and time it should appear — anywhere from about an hour to a year out.
5. Nothing changes on the recipient's side until a note's time arrives. Then it appears on the same link, below your original message.

A note you've scheduled but that hasn't appeared yet can be edited, re-timed, or deleted at any point — deleting one frees its slot to use again. Once an Encore's time passes and it appears, it's locked in. The wish itself has no time limit; when you're done with it, a delete control on its Encore page erases it, its media, and every Encore for good.

What each Encore can hold

• A written note of up to about 2,000 characters — the same length the original wish message allows, so there's room for a proper letter, not just a line.
• Optionally a photo and an animated GIF (searched from GIPHY, right in the editor), either or both shown inline with the note.
• A date and time for it to appear — from roughly an hour ahead to a year ahead.

You get 12 Encores per wish. You don't have to schedule them all at once, or use all of them.

Ways people use it

• Secret messages that surface later. Write something they have no idea is coming, dated a few days after the reveal. They open the link again out of habit and there's a new note waiting.
• A slow-reveal surprise. Planning a trip or a big gift? Drop one clue, photo, or GIF per date and let the whole picture assemble itself over a week or two before you actually hand it over.
• "One week on, one month on." A check-in after the celebration's over — did you use the gift, how was the trip, still thinking about you.
• Dates you'd otherwise forget from far away. Line up notes to land on their exam day, moving day, first day at the new job, or your anniversary — set from another timezone, months in advance.
• Support timed to the hard days. Someone starting treatment, training for a race, or studying for an exam: a short line of encouragement scheduled for the days you know will be tough.
• "A year ago today." Callbacks to a shared memory, dated to the day it happened, so it lands with the right weight.

What the recipient sees

Nothing extra to install and no account to make — it's the same link as the original wish. As each Encore's date passes, it stacks into a trail underneath the main message, oldest first.

While Encores are still scheduled, the recipient is offered a reminder (by email or by calendar), a QR code for carrying the wish over to their phone, and a tip to add the page to their home screen so it's one tap to come back:

• Email me when it unlocks — they enter their own address and get a one-line email the moment each Encore goes live. It never names the date or the content, so nothing is spoiled. The address is used only for that one wish, carries a one-click unsubscribe, and is deleted with the wish. The first email can land in spam, so it's worth a check.
• Add calendar reminders — a calendar file with an alert on each upcoming date. iPhone adds every reminder in one tap; on Android the calendar may only take the first. This option does show the dates (never the content), and won't update if you later reschedule.
• Show a QR code for your phone — a scannable code for the wish's link, with copy, download and print buttons. Useful for moving the wish from a computer to a phone, where it can live on the home screen. It encodes only the link and gives nothing about the Encores away.

Price and what it covers

• One payment of $4.99 USD for that wish. It's not a subscription and nothing renews.
• The wish is kept online for good. A free wish and its media are deleted 7 days after the reveal; with Encore there's no time limit — the link, photos, video and every Encore stay until you delete them yourself from the wish's Encore page.
• Covers up to 12 Encores on that wish, each schedulable up to a year ahead. Buying again later adds another 12.
• Tax is included, so it's $4.99 USD wherever you are.
• Encores are for solo Interactive Experience wishes only — not Group Wishes or Party Invitations.

Frequently asked questions

Is Encore a subscription?

No. It's a single payment of $4.99 USD for one wish, which lets you schedule up to 12 follow-up notes on it. Nothing recurring.

Can the recipient see an Encore before its scheduled date?

No. The server won't send an Encore's text, photo, or GIF until its scheduled time has passed, so there's no way to see it early by refreshing the page or inspecting the link.

Does the recipient get told when a new Encore is ready?

Only if they choose to be. On the wish page they can enter their email for a one-line notification the moment each Encore unlocks — no date, no content, so nothing is spoiled — or add calendar reminders instead. Otherwise they simply see it the next time they open the link.

Can I change an Encore after scheduling it?

Yes, until it appears. A pending Encore can be edited, re-timed, or deleted, and deleting one frees its slot to reuse. Once an Encore's time has passed and it has appeared, it's fixed.

What can each Encore contain?

A written note of up to about 2,000 characters — the same length the original wish message allows — and optionally a photo, an animated GIF, or both.

How far ahead can I schedule an Encore?

Each Encore can be set to appear from about an hour to a year after you schedule it.

Does buying Encore change how long the wish lasts?

Yes, completely. A free wish and its media are deleted 7 days after the reveal. Once you unlock Encore the wish comes off that deletion clock: the link, the photos, the video and every Encore stay online for good, until you choose to delete them yourself.

Can I delete an Encore wish later?

Yes. Because an Encore wish is never deleted automatically, its Encore page has a delete control that permanently erases the wish, its photos and video, and every Encore, whenever you want.

Which wishes can have Encores?

Solo Interactive Experience wishes. Group Wishes and Party Invitations can't have Encores.
