## What is TimeBox?

Send today into tomorrow.

TimeBox is a private, local-first journal and life archive. No account is required. Keep words, photos, voice recordings, videos, and files on your own devices, preserving today for the person you will become tomorrow.

RECORD LIFE YOUR WAY

Write a journal, capture a quick thought, or preserve a moment with a photo, voice recording, video, or file.

Records can include dates, tags, moods, places, and weather, helping each memory retain the context in which it happened.

A HOME FOR EVERY CHAPTER

Organize different parts of your life with notebooks, tags, separate archives, story lines, and custom record templates.

Keep work, family, travel, personal growth, and other important chapters together without mixing archives that should remain separate.

REDISCOVER WHAT MATTERS

Return to your memories through the timeline, calendar, local search, archive map, last year today, memories from previous years, random days, and annual reviews.

Search by keywords, tags, dates, locations, and content types to find important moments again.

PRIVACY IN YOUR HANDS

Your records and media are stored on your devices. TimeBox does not require an account and does not provide automatic cloud backup.

Protect your archive with an app lock, biometric authentication, automatic locking, background privacy protection, and authentication before export.

BACK UP AND SYNC ON YOUR TERMS

Create password-protected encrypted backups, verify their integrity, and merge or restore them when needed.

Pair your own TimeBox devices on the same Wi-Fi network for private two-way synchronization. TimeBox sync does not depend on a TimeBox cloud server, and you decide when and what date range to sync.

YOUR ARCHIVE STAYS PORTABLE

Export individual records and annual reviews as PDF documents or paginated long images.

You can also export an archive in open formats including JSON, Markdown, and ZIP, so your memories remain accessible outside TimeBox.

ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION

Core recording features are available for free. Lifetime PRO is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that unlocks unlimited records, media, notebooks, and archives, along with private Wi-Fi sync, advanced organization, personalization, and export tools.

Map, address, and weather features require a network connection. Camera, microphone, location, and local network permissions are requested only when you use the corresponding feature.

Keep an ordinary today for your future self.
