What a time capsule letter is

A time capsule is a letter you write now and seal until a future date—often to yourself, sometimes to someone you care about.

How far ahead can you set?

Choose a date that fits your intention: months for near-term encouragement, or years for longer milestones like graduation, moves, or personal growth check-ins. Follow the in-app date picker for the exact allowed range.

Choosing a meaningful unlock date

Pick dates tied to birthdays, anniversaries, new years, or life transitions. Specific dates make the reveal more emotional than random far-future picks.

Write for the future reader

Describe today’s feelings, hopes, and context. Future-you will thank you for details that only present-you can remember.

FAQ

Can I change the unlock date later?

Sealed capsules are meant to stay closed. Check in-app options before sealing; treat the date as a commitment.

Who can open my capsule?

Depending on how you send it, capsules may be private to you or shared with a chosen recipient when unlock time arrives.
