Online time capsule without the cloud risk
People search for an “online time capsule” when they want something easier than burying a box — but still meaningful. The catch with many web tools is the same: your memories live on someone else’s server.

What “online” should mean for a time capsule
You need a way to create a capsule from the device you already use, set a future unlock date, and reopen it later. You do not need a public feed, an account farm, or a company holding the only copy of your wedding vows.
Time Capsule: Memory Vault is a digital time capsule app for iPhone. Capsule contents stay on your device. You can still share an encrypted .ltc file when you choose — that is optional, not the default.
How to create a digital time capsule in minutes
- Install the free app from the App Store.
- Name the capsule and pick an unlock date.
- Add photos, videos, voice memos, notes, or files.
- Hold to lock. Watch the countdown until unlock day.

Who this is for
- Anyone who wants an online-style workflow without uploading private media to a random site
- Couples saving anniversary messages
- Students sealing a school-year capsule for graduation
- Parents saving a child’s voice for a future birthday
FAQ
Is there a website that hosts my capsule contents?
No. gettimecapsule.com is the product site. Capsule media stays on your iPhone unless you export a file yourself.
Can I open it on another phone?
Export an encrypted .ltc file and import it on a device that has Time Capsule installed. Sharing features may require Pro.
