⏳ Digital Time Capsule

Some words are meant for later. Seal a letter into a private link that stays locked, with a live countdown, until the date you pick — for a future birthday, a graduation, an anniversary, or your future self. A photo can go in too, for capsules opening within 30 days.

Write → pick an unlock date → share the link whenever you like. It opens only after the date, with a countdown until then.

Free to create, send and open · no signup · no app · no watermark · photo gifts: 30 days · gifts without photos: 60 days · automatically deleted, from creation

Live demo · sealed until one year from today

This is what they see before the date: a sealed cover and a live countdown. After it, the frost reveal and your letter.

Pick a date

Before the 30- or 60-day expiry.

Locked until the date you choose — nobody can open it early, not even you.
The whole gift is deleted 30 days after creation with a photo, or 60 days without one. Choose an unlock date before then.
You share the link — today or on the day. We don't send it for you.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write the letter you want opened later.

  2. 2

    Add a photo from right now.

  3. 3

    Keep the link — or send it when the moment arrives.

Locked until a date — not sent automatically

Pick an unlock date and the link stays sealed: whoever opens it sees the countdown, and the letter, photo and card are not loaded at all until the moment passes — there is nothing to peek at.

We don't deliver it for you. You share the link whenever you like — tonight, so they can watch the countdown, or on the day itself — and it opens only after the date. If you want it to arrive by itself on a date, put the link in a scheduled message in your own chat app.

How long your capsule lasts

A capsule with a photo is deleted in full 30 days after creation. Without a photo, it lasts 60 days. The letter, photo, and link expire together; choose an unlock date before that deadline.

Questions

What is a digital time capsule?

A letter and photo sealed in a private link. Whoever opens it wipes away the frost and finds what you wrote — on your chosen date, before the gift expires.

Can I write a letter to my future self?

Yes — write it, seal it, and keep the link somewhere you will find it later (a calendar reminder works beautifully).

Can I lock it until a specific date?

Yes — pick an unlock date (from one hour ahead to before the 30-day photo or 60-day text-only expiry) and the link stays sealed with a live countdown until then. Nobody can open it early. Or leave it unsealed, to be opened whenever they're ready.

Will it be sent automatically on the date?

No — you share the link yourself, whenever you like. It simply won't open before the date. To have it arrive by itself, schedule a message in your own chat app with the link inside.

How long does the capsule last?

The whole capsule and its link expire 30 days after creation with a photo, or 60 days without a photo. It is then automatically deleted.
