Leave something for the people you love
A memory capsule is a message you record now — video, audio or written — that reaches the person you love on a future date, birthday, wedding day, or the day you are no longer here. Sealed until the moment you choose.
Free to start. No card required until you seal.
Free to start — you decide when to commit
Create your account, build your draft at your own pace, and pay only when you're ready to seal it. No card required to try.
Create a free account
Signing up takes less than a minute and costs nothing. You can log back in anytime to continue where you left off.
Build your draft
Fill in the wizard step by step. Save as often as you like — nothing is final, and nothing is shared until you seal it.
Pay only when you seal
You only pay when you're happy with the result and choose to seal the document. Until then, everything is free to explore.
What a memory capsule is
Some words are too important to leave to chance. A memory capsule lets you record them now — in your own voice, on your own terms — and choose when they should arrive. A birthday. A wedding. A quiet Tuesday, five years from now. Or a day none of us wants to think about, but one that will come.
How it works
Record your message
Video, audio or written — whatever feels right. You can take as long as you need, and re-record until it feels honest.
Choose who receives it, and when
Pick the person, pick the date, pick the occasion. The capsule is sealed and encrypted until then.
We deliver it, and we make sure it lands
On the trigger you chose — a date, an unanswered check-in, or a confirmed death — the capsule reaches your recipient with a short, gentle notification. Nothing before the time is right.
Delivery assurance
Most digital time capsules are a scheduled email: they fire on a date, whether or not the address still works and whether or not you are still here. These are the checks we run in the years in between.
We confirm the address works — and keep confirming
When you seal a capsule, each recipient gets a short, neutral message asking only that they confirm their contact details are active. It reveals nothing: not the capsule, not its contents, not that anything exists for them at all. For long horizons the check repeats quietly once a year.
If an address stops working, you are told
A permanent failure marks the address unreachable and notifies you — while you can still do something about it. A temporary failure, such as a full mailbox, is treated as temporary and retried, never written off.
A quiet SMS, only as a last resort
If email is exhausted and you have recorded a mobile number with the recipient's consent, we can send an SMS. It says nothing about what is waiting — no capsule title, no names, no link to the contents — only that there is a message at MemWall, with a way to opt out.
A fallback contact who has actually agreed
Naming someone is not the same as them accepting. A fallback contact receives a request and must actively accept before they are part of the chain. Someone who declines is never contacted again.
A missed payment pauses — it never delivers, and never deletes
If a subscription lapses, we warn you first and then pause monitoring. A paused capsule cannot be delivered by us and is not deleted. A “goodbye” message reaching a living person's family should be structurally impossible, not merely unlikely.
Respect for anyone who would rather not be contacted
You can switch off contact messages for a recipient, and a recipient can decline them. That choice is permanent for contact messages — we do not ask again.
Sealed until the moment you chose
