One moment, or a lifetime of them
Better than one moment. A lifetime of memories.
Both are personal, in different ways. MomentSent sends a well-designed card on the day. A CinematicCard is built from the years you have shared.
A card that always arrives
- A designed folded card, printed and mailed for you
- Your message inside, approved before it is mailed
- Mailed about a week ahead, every year, without lifting a finger
A card made of your memories
- Up to 20 of your own photos, which Photo Finder helps you find
- Your message, set to music, ending with your own voice
- Arrives the moment you send it, or exactly when you schedule it

How it works
Your memories are already on your phone. Let’s bring them back to life.
A MomentSent card starts with a design and a date. A CinematicCard starts with the photos you already have, and takes about a minute to make.

Why memories
The photos aren’t just added to the card. They are the card.
A printed card says “I remembered.” A CinematicCard shows what you remember: the birthday cake, the garden, the grandchild on her lap, playing one after another.
Add your own voice, or the song that means something, and send it to one person or to the whole family at once.
Your own voice. Record it in the browser, up to 60 seconds, or upload a voice message. It plays at the very end of the card, with your words captioned on screen while the music lowers under your voice.
The photos in your card are always your own.
- Your real photosPhoto Finder brings back real photos of them from your phone. Keep up to 20.
- A cinematic cardThey play one after another with your message, like a short film.
- Music, or your voiceA soundtrack, your own song, or your own voice.
- A cash gift, revealedSignature, $9.99: they open the card, see the gift and request it; you approve it in your own payment app. CinematicCard never touches the money.
- One person, or manySend a link by text or email, schedule it, or email it to up to 500 people at once.

Which one fits
When MomentSent is the better choice, and when CinematicCard is
- You want a real, folded card mailed for you on every birthday and anniversary
- You want it automatic: add your people once, then approve each card from a text or email
- The people you send to love paper, wherever they live
- You want the card to be your photos, up to 20 of them, playing cinematically
- You want them to hear your own voice
- You want it to arrive today, or exactly when you schedule it
- You'd rather pay per card, with your first one free, or $69.99 a year for 5 people with reminders
100% digital, by choice
Want a real card in the mailbox every year, without thinking about it? MomentSent does that well. We chose to make CinematicCard 100% digital: no paper, no ink, no envelope, no postage and no delivery truck.
It arrives the moment you send it, or on the day you schedule, rather than being mailed a week early, and nothing can get lost in the post. And it plays your photos, your words and your voice.
Privacy and safety
Your memories, handled with care
Photo Finder looks through your photos on your device, so nothing is uploaded to search. The photos you choose for a card are stored securely and used to make your card.
Every photo uploaded to CinematicCard is scanned using industry-standard content-scanning technology, because protecting children matters to us as much as your memories do. And if you ever see a card that worries you, you can tell us, anonymously.
