Write now. Sign in only to keep stories across devices.

No account is needed to write, download, or create a capsule. This browser keeps your current draft in local storage that Time Capsule does not encrypt; a secure email link adds private cloud saving.

Story Bank

Start with the story. Decide where it belongs later.

Write freely or use one question to get moving. Save the result, return to it, download it, or turn it into an encrypted capsule when it is ready.

Start a quick story

Choose one focused question and write at your own pace.

Bring in something you already have

Recover stories from pasted text, transcripts, or a WhatsApp export. Original files stay on your device.

Choose a source →

Bring several stories together

Choose, arrange, and download a collection, or place the complete work into one capsule.

Assemble stories →

Go deeper with a guided session

Use the question paths already built into Time Capsule. Answer one question at a time by typing or dictating.

Each answer is saved with its original question. Pause, return later, and only then decide whether to use it in a capsule.

Starting question

These choices guide questions and editing. They never publish or send the story by themselves.

Free browser dictation. Your browser or its speech service handles recognition; Time Capsule does not receive the audio for transcription.

Optional assistance

Shape the story without losing your voice

Choose a specific task. The original stays unchanged until you apply a suggestion.

Source-grounded planning

Build a Story Pack from selected excerpts

It creates a chronology, themes, possible starting points, questions, and details to check. Each suggestion must cite the excerpts it used. It does not rewrite your story.

Choose the excerpts to use

Before it leaves the Story Bank

A quick human review

Ready means reviewed, not published. You still decide whether to download it, place it in a capsule, or contribute it to a Memory Page.

Collaborative destination

Contribute this story to a Memory Page

Paste the public Memory Page or contribution link. You will see the contribution form and can review everything before submitting.

Guided session

Stay with one question at a time.

Each answer is saved as a source.

One-time return reminder

When should we bring you back?

Choose a date. We send one private email to your signed-in address, then mark the reminder complete. This is not a subscription.
