THE THINKING BEHIND EVERY MESSAGE

The 5-Touch Well-Being Framework

Inspired by research on happiness, emotional well-being, and the importance of human connection, our framework helps you create meaningful messages for the people you love.

  • Guide

    Share wisdom and life lessons.

  • Inspire

    Build confidence and offer encouragement.

  • Bond

    Share stories that bring you closer.

  • Whisper

    Express love in the little moments.

  • Connect

    Celebrate milestones and meaningful moments.

The words children hear from their parents become the voice they carry inside. Lifetime Wishes helps parents make that voice one of guidance, encouragement and love, ready whenever their child needs it.
Dr. Judith D'AngeloAdvisor, Child Development and Family Well-Being, Lifetime Wishes

Developed by Lifetime Wishes through years of independent research and inspired by findings on happiness, well-being, and human connection.

The Research Behind Our Framework ↓

The 5-Touch Well-Being Framework was developed by Lifetime Wishes through years of independent exploration of published research on happiness, emotional well-being, and human relationships, including insights from the World Happiness Report.

These insights helped shape five ways families can share wisdom, encouragement, personal stories, expressions of love, and support during important life moments.

The framework is our own approach to making meaningful family communication easier and more intentional.

World Happiness Report

Kids who know more about their family's history tend to have higher self-esteem and feel more in control of their lives.*

  • Everyday inspiration

  • Milestones

  • Birthdays & holidays

  • For the hard days

HOW IT CHANGES

Grows with your child.

You're in charge while they're young. As they grow, they can sign in and open what's waiting for them.

Until 13

Children under 13 never log in. Their account lives in yours. You switch to their view. They can create and search Family Libraries, and open and send vault messages. You review and approve every message sent to them, and every message they send.

From 13

You can opt to let them have their own login to open what's waiting for them. You keep managing messages from other family members until they turn 18.

Always yours

Your words belong to you. Download them anytime, on any plan. If we ever close, you'll have 60 days to save everything.

Questions before you start

YOUR TRIAL & MEMBERSHIP

What is Lifetime Wishes?

A family well-being app helping busy parents build stronger bonds through on-demand parenting and lifelong family support. Lifetime Wishes is protected by U.S. Patent No. 11,153,259.

What do I get in the free trial?

Everything in the Family plan for 14 days: unlimited messages and library entries, Video, Voice and Write, scheduling, family invitations and library search. Messages set to open during your trial can be opened by your children. 14 days free. No card required. We'll remind you before it ends.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your account stays open and everything you wrote stays safe. You can read and export it anytime. New writing and family search of your library pause. Messages that already opened stay open. Messages scheduled to open after your trial stay saved and wait until you choose the Family plan.

What happens if I stop paying?

Messages you sent while on the Family plan still open on their dates. New writing, uploads, sending and family search of your library pause. You can always sign in, read and export everything. If a payment fails, your plan keeps working for 14 days while you update your card. After that, those features pause until it's updated.

How do renewal and refunds work?

Launch price: $49/year for the first 100 families who subscribe. Keep $49/year for as long as your membership stays active. After that, new members pay $99/year. Starting a trial does not reserve the founding offer. A successful paid subscription qualifies. The Family plan renews automatically each year. Cancel anytime in Account, then Plan, then Manage billing. Email support@lifetimewishes.com within 14 days of your first purchase to request a refund. Renewals are not covered.

Do my family members need to pay?

No. With one active Family plan, you can invite your partner, relatives and friends at no additional charge. They can create their own searchable libraries and share messages in your family's vault.

Can I cancel and rejoin later at the founding rate?

The founding rate stays yours for as long as your membership stays active. If you cancel, the founding rate ends, and rejoining later would be at the standard price.

YOUR LIBRARY & MESSAGES

What's the difference between my library and my messages?

Your Searchable Family Library holds your stories, life lessons and answers, ready for the family members you choose. Messages go into each child's Family Well-Being Vault, and you decide when each one opens: when they're ready, or on a date like a birthday or graduation.

Who can search my library?

Only the people you choose, while you have an active free trial or Family plan. Private messages stay private, and locked messages stay locked until they open.

Can I take my messages with me?

Yes. Export is free on any plan, anytime. If Lifetime Wishes ever closes, you'll have 60 days to save everything.

How much time does this take?

Start with one question. Record a quick video, speak your answer or type a few sentences. You can build your library a little at a time, whenever it works for you.

CHILDREN & FAMILY

How do accounts work for children under 13?

Children under 13 never log in. You create a profile for each child, and everything for them lives inside your account. You manage it all, including messages from other family members.

What changes when my child turns 13?

You can choose to give them their own login, with email or Google. They open what's waiting for them, and you still approve messages from other family members until they turn 18.

When can my child read a message?

When you decide. Mark a message to open when they're ready, or schedule it for a future date and time. Once a message opens, it stays open.

Can grandparents and other family write too?

Yes. With the Family plan, you can invite grandparents, aunts, uncles and other loved ones to write to your children. You see every message and decide what stays.

Do I have to invite family members to start?

No. You can start building your own library right away. Your Family Well-Being Vault opens when you add your first family member.

PRIVACY & ACCESS

Is my family's information private?

Yes. We don't sell your personal information or use private family messages for advertising. Read our Privacy Policy.

Who can see my messages and library?

Only you and the people you choose. Each message opens only for the people it's meant for, and only when you decide. For children under 18, parents can also see the messages sent to their child. Your library can be searched only by the family members you allow, and you can change that anytime.

The words you save are encrypted. Lifetime Wishes staff cannot read private messages or library answers in our admin and support tools. If you choose to paste something into a feedback or contact form, our team can read what you sent.

How we protect it:

  • Encrypted in transit. Everything moves between your device and our servers over a secure, encrypted connection.
  • Encrypted at rest. The text of your messages and library answers is stored encrypted on our servers. Photos, videos and voice recordings are kept in private storage that only you and the people you choose can open.
  • Private notifications. Emails tell someone a message is ready, never what it says.
  • Children are protected. Kids under 13 never have their own login. They see messages and libraries only through a parent's account.
  • AI help only when you ask. If you tap a writing suggestion or ask for a recording to be written out, we send only what that request needs: the text or recording you're working on and the prompt it answers. We never send the rest of your library or your other messages. Lifetime Wishes does not use your words to train AI.
  • You stay in control. You can export everything you've written anytime.

Will my messages or library answers be used to train AI?

No. Lifetime Wishes does not use your messages or library answers to train AI. AI writing help and transcription are optional, and when you choose to use them, only the text or recording you select is sent to our AI provider to complete that request.

What happens to my words if Lifetime Wishes closes?

Your words belong to you. You can download them anytime, on any plan. If we ever close, you'll have 60 days to save everything.
