Ideas for your Capsules

Some things are practical. Some are personal. Some are both.

Messages & memories

  • Birthday messages
  • Anniversary messages
  • Family stories
  • Things you never want forgotten

Important information

  • Accounts and services
  • Where important records are kept
  • Household and vendor information
  • Instructions for digital accounts

Instructions

  • What to do first
  • Who to contact
  • Personal wishes
  • Practical guidance for family

Future milestones

  • Age 18 or graduation
  • Age 21
  • Wedding day
  • First child
  • Annual birthday message

For different messages at different ages, make a separate Capsule for each milestone.

Family history

  • Stories
  • Traditions
  • Genealogy notes
  • The stories behind keepsakes or heirlooms

Private

  • Information to keep private while you are alive
  • Information meant for one particular person

Different people. Different Capsules.

One person might prepare household instructions for their spouse, a family story for their children, and a message for a grandchild’s milestone. Each Capsule can have its own recipient and timing.

These are ideas, not promises of live delivery: automated post-death verification and delivery are still being completed during beta.
