How TimeCapsule Works
Write something meaningful today, choose when it should return, and let time decide when it is opened.
01
Write Your Capsule
Write a message to your future self, preserve a private thought, upload media, attach links, or include words meant for someone else to discover later.
Optional additions can include:
- images
- video
- links
- recipients
- security details for private capsules
02
Choose How It Should Be Opened
Every capsule requires a future reveal date.
You can choose:
- Private Capsule — Only accessible through its private retrieval link and security answer.
- Public Capsule — Published on the public timeline after review when the reveal date arrives.
03
Let Time Hold It Securely
Once submitted, your capsule stays sealed until the exact date you selected.
- Private capsules remain hidden.
- Public capsules remain unpublished until their release date.
04
On Reveal Day
When the reveal date arrives:
- Private recipients receive access instructions
- Public capsules appear on the public timeline
- Protected capsules require the security answer before opening
05
If Payment Applies
Private capsules use the active payment plan configured for your account.
Payment is processed securely before final confirmation.
06
Return Later Anytime
You can retrieve eligible capsules using:
- retrieval link
- capsule ID
- security answer where required
