Lock your memories.
Unlock the moment.

Capsule is a shared photo album that stays locked until everyone can open it together. Add photos as you go — nobody sees a thing until the date arrives.

Join the waitlist See how it works

Built for weddings, trips, first years & reunions.

How it works

Three steps. One unforgettable reveal.

01

Start a capsule

Pick a name, set the unlock date, and decide who can add. Open by date, when everyone's together in person — or both.

02

Everyone adds in

Invite your people to a private album. They drop in photos and videos from their own perspective — no one sees a thing until the day.

03

Open it together

When the moment arrives, the capsule unlocks for every member at once. Every angle, every perspective — the whole story at one time.

What opening one feels like

The wait makes the opening.

Illustrative scenarios based on how people use Capsule during testing — not verified reviews. Capsule is in private beta.

"Opened it on New Year's Eve. We all just started screaming. Nobody expected how many photos were in there — I'd forgotten half of them existed."

Summer road trip capsule

"I'm not a crier. I cried. Family had been dropping in photos for a year. Seeing it all unlock together on her birthday was something else entirely."

"No one could filter or delete anything. That's what made it honest. You got everyone's real take on the weekend — not just the polished version."

Jordan K.
Wedding weekend with friends

"We each remembered totally different things from the same trip. Seeing everyone's version at once felt like experiencing it three more times. Do it."

Inside the app

What it actually feels like to use.

Locked until the exact moment

Photos go in, but the album stays sealed. No early access, no sneak peeks — not even for the person who made it. A live countdown builds until it opens for the whole group at once.

The lock

Not even you can peek

Turn on Surprise mode and the creator is locked out alongside everyone else. You'll know how many memories are inside — but not one of them, until the date arrives.

Surprise mode

Open it only when you're all there

Turn on proximity unlock and the capsule won't open until every member is physically in the same place. The memories surface the instant you're reunited.

Together

Both sides of the story

A built-in dual-cam mode captures front and back lenses at once — the moment, and your reaction to it. Split-screen or picture-in-picture.

Dual camera

Yearbook-style superlatives

When a capsule unlocks, the group votes on categories — Best photo, Most likely to… Private, anonymous voting, winners revealed at the close.

Awards

Private by default, safe by design

Capsules are invite-only. Friend requests, reporting, and blocking are built in — the only memories you keep are the ones you want.

Safety

The wait is the whole point.

Anyone can share a photo the second it's taken. Capsule saves it for the moment you're all back together — and opens the whole story at once. That shared gasp? That's the feature.

Lock it in. Unlock together.

Seal a moment today. Open it together when it matters most.
