Record 60 seconds, choose a date, and Then keeps it sealed until that day. Hear your own voice from a year ago, leave a message for your future self, or send a capsule to someone you love.
Three steps — for a voice you keep for yourself, or send to someone you love.
Speak a message — for someone you love, or for your future self. Add photos if you want to keep the whole moment.
A birthday. An anniversary. A first day of school. The day the capsule is meant to be opened.
Send the capsule to someone you love as an encrypted link, or keep it for your future self. Either way, it stays sealed until the date you chose.
A message for the first day of school, or an 18th birthday years later. Something to be heard on your next anniversary. A capsule for a friend to open in one year. Voices from a newborn's first days, saved for later.
Then does not send automatic notifications to anyone's device. You send the time capsule yourself through WhatsApp or Messages, as an encrypted link. Recipients without Then receive a normal link; with Then installed, the capsule additionally stays locked until the date you chose.
Beyond capsules for others, Then is also a conversation with yourself across time. Three replay windows — plus Time Travel, when Then decides the moment has come for a memory you almost forgot.
Tomorrow you hear yourself from yesterday. The pre-aha that protects the longer pipeline. Small, but the first proof that the voice does come back.
You'll be surprised how much you've already forgotten — and how much has changed. The week-ago version of you had no idea what was coming.
A month feels short until you hear yourself. Did the worry happen? Did the small promise hold? The voice has the answer.
Hear who you were before you knew what would happen. Speak to who you'll be — and find out, then, whether you kept your word. The most powerful replay, in both directions.
A memory you almost forgot, surfacing when you didn't ask. Then decides when meaning has caught up — and gives the voice back.
Each memory is painted with the world around you at that exact moment.
Temperature and weather condition, pulled quietly from WeatherKit.
City or neighborhood — never your precise coordinates. Your privacy matters.
How much did you move that day? Steps from Health add a physical dimension to each memory.

Pro feature
On-device speech-to-text. Search your memories by what you said, privately.
Sometime mid-morning. Or a quiet Sunday afternoon. Then sends you a gentle notification: a memory just surfaced. Something you recorded months ago, maybe more than a year. You had completely forgotten.
Start free. Upgrade when your first year replay is waiting.
Then stores your recordings on your device by default. You can share a capsule as a file or explicitly create an end-to-end encrypted link hosted at capsule.nort.de. The server cannot decrypt its contents, and inactive encrypted capsules expire automatically. No accounts, behavioral analytics, or ad tracking.
Choose the day it can be opened. Send it to someone you love — or keep it for your future self.
