Some moments are too precious to forget — and too private to post. Lokket is a time capsule for your child. From their very first days, capture the photos, videos, voice memos, milestones, and heartfelt letters that tell the story of who they were and how much they were loved. Everything stays sealed and private until the day they turn 18 — when the whole capsule opens for them alone. WHAT YOU CAN KEEP INSIDE - Photos & videos of the moments that matter - Voice memos — capture their laugh, their first words, your lullabies - Milestones — first steps, first tooth, first day of school - "Open when…" letters — words for their wedding day, a hard day, a proud day - The world when they were born — songs, prices, headlines, the little details - Year-by-year favorites — their best friend, their catchphrase, their dreams PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your content is encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold or shared with advertisers - Location and camera data are automatically removed from every photo - Your photos and videos are never used to train AI - Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock on the app FREE TO START The free Keepsake plan includes up to 10 memories with photos, video (up to 30 seconds), voice memos, and letters — everything you need to begin your child's capsule today. GO FURTHER WITH LOKKET PLUS (subscription) OR FOREVER (one-time purchase) - Unlimited memories - Longer videos - Co-parent invite — both parents can add memories to the same capsule (each keeps their own private notes; only shared memories are visible between you; your child sees everything at 18) A GIFT THAT WAITS 18 YEARS Lokket isn't a social network and it isn't a photo dump. It's a quiet, intentional place to gather a life's first chapter — so that one day, your child receives the single most personal gift you could give: proof of exactly how loved they were, from the very beginning. Start your child's capsule today. ——— Lokket is free to download. Lokket Plus is an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly); Lokket Forever is an optional one-time purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: ideaShell at 612 against Lokket's 1. ideaShell also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Lokket's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ideaShell sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Lokket sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lokket holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ideaShell has 612 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
