Canister Guide

A time capsule for your new baby

Welcome them to the world with a sealed letter and photos that unlock on a first birthday, 18th, or any milestone you choose.

Capture the early days before they blur

The newborn phase passes quickly. A new baby time capsule preserves your letter from today — how you felt, what you wished for them, who was in the room — for a future version of your child.

Plan unlocks that grow with them

Popular unlock dates include their first birthday, tenth birthday, or eighteenth. Legacy tier supports horizons up to 50 years if you want a generational message.

Photos, footprints, and ultrasound scans

Attach images on Signature or Legacy within plan limits. Files are encrypted before upload alongside your message text.

Common questions

When should I create a baby time capsule?

Many parents create one in the first weeks after birth while emotions are vivid. You can set the unlock years ahead.

Can grandparents contribute?

They can write separate capsules or you can include their words in your letter. Each capsule has its own access key.

What happens after the capsule unlocks?

Signature capsules remain accessible for 30 days after unlock; Legacy for one year. Download what you need during that window.
