For Mia · Graduation Day
Everything we want you to remember.
An illustrative capsule preview—your dates, people, and memories make it yours.
The reveal is the experience
The wait is part of the gift.
Start with what matters today. Keep adding while life unfolds. Then let the whole story arrive at once on a date that means something.
01 · Today
Create the story
Write the note, upload the photos, or record the voice message while the feeling is still close.
02 · Until reveal day
Invite and keep adding
Bring in family or friends, refine the capsule, and choose who should receive the final reveal.
03 · The date you chose
Let the future open
The capsule unlocks in a browser from a private link, email, or the QR code you printed years earlier.
Voice note · 1:42
“Here's what this day felt like…”
More than stored files
Give the future the context, not just the camera roll.
A photo shows what happened. Your voice, words, and the people you invite preserve why it mattered. Everything opens as one thoughtful experience instead of a scattered folder.

A future birthday
Record the stories, wishes, and voices they should hear years from now.
Graduation day
Collect encouragement now and schedule it for the morning everything changes.
An anniversary
Seal vows, photographs, and a note for the life you are still building together.

The practical details
Digital Time Capsule FAQ
What to save, who can contribute, how the unlock works, and what to know before you seal it.
What can I put in a digital time capsule?+
You can include written letters, photos, voice notes, videos, captions, and future instructions. The strongest capsules usually combine one personal message with a few specific media moments.
How do I make a capsule feel meaningful instead of random?+
Start with the reason for the reveal, then choose only the files that support that story. Add a short note explaining why each photo, recording, or video matters now so the future recipient does not have to guess the context.
How is a digital time capsule different from a Future Beacon?+
A digital time capsule is built for a private reveal with media, recipients, QR sharing, and a chosen unlock date. A Future Beacon is a free, text-based legacy signal for identity, values, and consent. Use a capsule when someone should open a message later; use a Future Beacon when you want your long-horizon intent stated clearly.
Can I change the capsule before it unlocks?+
Yes. You can keep editing the capsule, adjust the unlock date, and update recipients before the reveal. Once it opens, the capsule becomes the version your recipients can view.
Do recipients need to install anything?+
No. Recipients open the capsule from a private link or QR code in a browser. That makes it easy to place the reveal in a card, scrapbook, event program, or email.
Can friends or family add messages before the reveal?+
Yes. For a group gift, memorial collection, class project, or family milestone, invite contributors before the unlock date so their photos, videos, voice notes, and written messages can be gathered into one capsule while you keep control of the final reveal.
How private is an online time capsule?+
Capsules are private by default. You decide who receives the link or QR code. Anyone who receives that private link may be able to forward it, so share it with the same care as a physical keepsake.
What should I avoid putting in a digital time capsule?+
Do not use a capsule as a password vault, legal directive, bank archive, crypto-key backup, or the only copy of important family files. Keep secrets and formal legal instructions in tools designed for those jobs, and use the capsule for personal context, memories, and future-facing messages.
When should a digital time capsule unlock?+
Choose a date tied to the meaning of the message: a birthday morning, graduation day, anniversary dinner, first day of college, memorial gathering, or a quiet future check-in.
What happens after the free 14-day period?+
Free capsules are meant for short-term keepsakes and trials. Upgrade within the 14-day window for a future reveal date and ongoing hosting under the current service, or keep your own copy of important media before the capsule is removed.
Can I use a digital capsule with a physical card or gift?+
Yes. Create the capsule first, then print the QR insert or share link and place it in a birthday card, scrapbook, graduation envelope, or wrapped gift. Test the QR code before sealing anything important.
Is this a replacement for backing up my family files?+
No. A digital time capsule is designed for a future reveal experience, not as your only archive. Keep separate backups of irreplaceable photos, videos, documents, and recordings.
Someday is a date you can choose.
Start with one message. Add the people and memories that belong in it. Then set the day the future gets to open.
