Letters, family photographs, and keepsakes gathered with care for a future day
A little of today. A gift for tomorrow.

Some moments deserve
a second beginning.

Make something they can come back to

A few memories.
A whole world of meaning.

You don’t need to tell your whole life story. Start with one moment you wish you could keep.

01 · Gather

Bring today to life.

Write a letter. Add a photo, a voice note, or a video. Give the little details a place to belong.

02 · Choose

Give it a day to arrive.

A birthday. A graduation. A date only the two of you understand. Choose when the memories open.

03 · Share

Leave a way back.

Share the link or tuck a printed QR into a card or memory box. When the day comes, it opens in their browser.

Follow the illustrated capsule creation guide

More than a folder of files

A memory book.
With a day of its own.

Imagine opening a letter from your parents on your eighteenth birthday. Hearing their voices. Seeing the world as it was when they wrote it.

Your messages and media come together as a keepsake to explore, with space for the story behind every memory.

  • Letters, photos, voice notes, and video
  • A chosen reveal date for link visitors
  • A shareable link and printable QR

A birthday time capsule
An illustrative family scene: three generations sharing letters and photographs
For Alex, on your eighteenth

You asked me to let go.

Today you taught yourself to ride the blue bike. You asked me to let go, then turned around to check I was still there.

I was. I hope that is how turning 18 feels: room to go, and people behind you when you look back.

All my love, Mum

Before you begin

A few things
worth knowing.

Thoughtful gifts start with a little clarity.

Keep the originals, too.

A capsule gives memories a beautiful way to be shared. Keep separate copies of irreplaceable photos and recordings, and check your shared link before the big day.

Digital or physical?
What is a digital time capsule?

A digital time capsule is a collection of personal messages, photos, voice notes, and videos that becomes available to link visitors on a date you choose. Make one for a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or your future self, then share its link or printable QR code.

What should I put in my time capsule?

Start with a letter about life right now, a few photos with their stories, and a voice note. Everyday details often mean the most later: a favorite saying, a familiar laugh, a small achievement, or a hope for the person opening it. You can also add videos and invite others to contribute.

Can friends and family add their own memories?

Yes. Free and Premium include up to two invited contributors. Collaborative includes up to 25 contributors and, once paid, a guest invitation link for contributing without an account. Email-invited contributors sign in with their invited address. Guest contributions and email invitations share the same contributor allowance. Choose a collection window of 1–30 days from creation; it ends earlier if the reveal date arrives first.

Can I edit my capsule or change the reveal date?

Yes. As the owner, you can edit your capsule and change its reveal date. Invited contributors add their memories during the collection window you set. A reveal years away does not extend that collection window.

How private is a digital time capsule?

New capsules are private by default. Before the reveal, ordinary link visitors cannot see the memories; the owner and eligible contributors can access the collection. After the reveal, anyone with the access-code link or QR can view it and can forward that link. Public visibility is optional. The reveal date is not an encrypted lock that prevents the owner from accessing the capsule.

Does the recipient need an app or account?

No. Once the reveal date arrives, the recipient can open the shared link or scan the QR code in a browser without an account. An internet connection is needed. You can print the QR insert and place it inside a card, scrapbook, or physical memory box.

What happens after the free 14 days?

Free hosting lasts 14 days from creation. An unpaid capsule is scheduled for removal after that period, even if its reveal date is later. Upgrade before expiry for a later reveal and ongoing hosting under the current service. Premium is $4.99 and Collaborative is $29.99 per capsule, paid once in USD. Paid hosting is not a guarantee of permanent storage; keep separate copies of important files.

How is this different from a QR keepsake or greeting card?

A digital time capsule has a chosen future reveal date. A QR keepsake opens immediately, making it useful for digital greeting cards, gifts, framed photos, and memory boxes. Both can bring messages, photos, voice notes, and video together in one place.

Should I choose a digital or physical time capsule?

Choose digital for voice, video, contributions from people far away, and a scheduled reveal. Choose physical for objects such as heirlooms and handwritten journals. They work well together: place a QR code inside a physical box to connect the objects to their stories. The QR stores a web address, not the memories themselves, so keep separate backups.

How is a time capsule different from a Future Beacon?

A time capsule is a media keepsake for someone to open on a chosen date. A Future Beacon is a separate, text-based legacy record of identity, memories, values, and consent, available for a one-time $29.99 payment. Choose a capsule for a personal future reveal and a Future Beacon to record your long-horizon wishes.

For someone. For someday.

One day, they’ll be glad
you saved this day.

Start with a memory. Let the rest follow.
