Hi Guys,

Just pushed the new version update yet for TimeCapsules (launched Dec 11th).

TL;DR: Went from a personal time capsule app to a full social platform for memories. Added 100+ features, complete UI overhaul, and tons of requested functionality.

What TimeCapsules Does

Lock messages, photos, videos, and voice notes until a future date or location. You literally can’t open them early - the app enforces the wait.

3 unlock modes:

	∙	Time-based: Opens at a specific date

	∙	Location-based: Opens when you’re at a location (100m radius)

	∙	Shared: Opens when all friends are together at the location
