A digital time capsule that arrives exactly when it should.
Some words are meant to be heard later — on an eighteenth birthday, a wedding morning, or a day years from now. My Journal Story lets you record a message in your own voice or on video today, seal it, and schedule it to be delivered on the future date you choose. A gift that shows up right on time, even decades away.

Record now. Delivered then.
A time capsule only matters if it actually reaches someone. This one does — on the date you set, to the person you choose.
Record your message
Speak it in your own voice, or leave it on video — a birthday note, a piece of advice, an “open this when…” message.
Pick the delivery date
Choose when it arrives: a future birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, or a specific date years from now.
It arrives on time
On the day you chose, your message is delivered to the right person — even if that day is far in the future.
Messages worth waiting for
The most moving time-capsule messages are the ones set free years before they land. A few ideas families love:
“My grandmother recorded a message for my daughter’s wedding before she passed. When it played that morning, it was like she’d walked into the room.”
— what a message to the future can do
The right words at the right moment can cross years. My Journal Story makes it simple to record them now — while you’re here, in your own voice — and trust that they’ll arrive exactly when the people you love need them.

Your time capsule — your questions
What is a digital time capsule?
It’s a message you record now and schedule to be delivered in the future. With My Journal Story you record a voice or video message today, choose a delivery date, and it arrives on that day — whether that’s next year or decades from now.
Can I send a message to a specific future date?
Yes. You choose the exact date — a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, or any day you pick — and your message is delivered then to the person you choose.
Can I record video, not just audio?
Yes. You can leave a message in your own voice or on video. Video messages are available on the Heirloom plan, so your family can see your face as well as hear you.
What happens to my messages until they’re delivered?
They’re stored privately and securely on your timeline until their delivery date. Nothing is public, and only you can change or view a sealed message before it’s sent.
Can I set up more than one?
Absolutely. Many people record a whole series — a message for each future birthday, or notes for several people. You can schedule as many as you like.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $99/year with a 30-day free trial and no charge today. You can cancel anytime during the trial.
