Time Capsule Pro requires a separate in-app purchase to access the vault and capsule features described below. Downloading the app and completing onboarding are free. Purchase options and prices are shown in the app before payment. Time Capsule lets you lock your most meaningful photos, videos, voice memos, notes, and files inside an encrypted capsule — then open them on a date you choose. Pick an unlock date. Add what matters. Press and hold to seal it. When the time comes, your capsule unlocks and everything is waiting for you, exactly as you left it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Name your capsule and choose an unlock date — one month, one year, or decades from now. 2. Add photos, videos, voice memos, written notes, or files. 3. Hold to lock. Your capsule is sealed until the date arrives. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your memories stay on your device. Optional accounts do not upload or synchronize your vault. Usage analytics and session recordings with masking configured help improve the app; you can turn analytics off in Profile. Analytics use a random installation identifier and technical device information. Advertising attribution SDKs are not included in this version. See the Privacy Policy for account and analytics processing. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Lock photos and videos from your camera or library - Record voice memos directly inside a capsule - Write letters to your future self - Attach any file type - Set unlock dates from one day to decades away - Watch a live countdown to each capsule's unlock moment - Protect your vault with Face ID or Touch ID - Share capsules with friends and family as encrypted .ltc files - View your full capsule history WHO IT'S FOR - Write a letter to yourself on New Year's and open it next December - Save your child's first words and photos for their 18th birthday - Preserve a friendship group's memories from a trip - Capture a personal goal and revisit your progress in a year - Create a graduation, wedding, or anniversary capsule Time Capsule is not a social feed, a cloud diary, or a photo album. It is a private vault that keeps your memories sealed until you are ready to revisit them. NOTE: Time Capsule does not provide legal, financial, or mental health advice. Always back up important capsules by exporting encrypted .ltc files. Questions or ideas? Email austinhfrankel@gmail.com - we read everything.
