Plant your first memory
Start a time capsule, give it a name, and choose who it is for. Complete the first step to save a draft you can return to.
Create a memory. Choose how to share it.
Start a time capsule for the memories you want to keep. Give them a design on your own or together, choose what to share, and decide what makes opening them special. You can also export a design as a digital image.
The three steps
2
Give it a design, together
Add your memories and open the pages in Designer. Arrange photos and words, start from a template, and shape the story with your people in real time.
3
Make the opening matter
Choose what it takes to open the time capsule: a date or window of time, a shared password, a question, or a little quiz. Seal it when you are ready. You can also export a design from Designer.
Who it's for
When you create a time capsule, choose its audience and who can help build it. Local photos in the editor stay on your device until you choose to upload them.
For you
Keep it private — only you can open it.
For others
Dedicate it to the people you choose, and invite them in.
Public
Let anyone discover it — they still have to open it the way you chose.
Create it together
Invite the people who lived the moments with you to design the same canvas page. Live cursors and comments help you bring every perspective into the story.
Design the memory together, live
In Designer, work on the same pages with live cursors, selections and edits. Changes are saved as you go; comments and named versions keep decisions and milestones beside the design.
Everyone has a role
Decide who can edit, who can just view, and who receives the capsule when it opens.
Made for groups
Bring different perspectives into a family story, a class memory, or a shared celebration.
Ways to open it
5 opening options are available. Choose one or combine them to make discovering the memory part of the experience. Set the rules before sealing your time capsule. Location-based opening is marked as coming soon and cannot be selected yet.
A date and time
Open it on a birthday, an anniversary, or another day that matters.
A window of time
Make it available between the start and end dates you choose.
A shared password
Let a word you share become the key to the memory.
A secret question
Ask something your people remember. The right answer opens it.
A little quiz
Turn a shared story or an inside joke into a multiple-choice challenge.
Coming soon
A special place: Location-based opening is in development and cannot be selected yet.
How they work together
Decide how they work together to open it.
All of them
Every selected condition must be met.
Any one
Meeting any one of the selected conditions is enough.
A surprise
A randomly selected condition decides whether it opens.
Share it
Once sealed, send it out — no one can open it until the moment you chose.
Shareable link
Send the time capsule link. Its audience and opening conditions still decide who can see inside.
QR code
Share a scannable link to the time capsule. It follows the same access and opening rules.
