Trust notes

A time capsule site has to feel safe.

This page is written like a real trust section so the project feels ready for users, while still being honest about the current static version.

🔒

Current prototype storage

Capsules are stored in the visitor’s own browser using localStorage. That means they stay on the same device/browser and are not sent to a server in this static version.

⚠️

Do not store secrets yet

Until a real backend with authentication, encryption, backups, and recovery is added, users should not store passwords, private legal documents, or deeply sensitive information.

📬

Not a delivery service yet

This preview does not email recipients, sync between devices, take payments, or guarantee future delivery. Those features require a later service.

🧾

Your control

Delete individual capsules from the Vault or use the clear-vault control. Clearing browser data may also permanently remove preview capsules.

Before a cloud version

What must be completed before real cloud storage or delivery.

Accounts

Email login, user dashboard, password reset, and device-independent capsule access.

Database

Store capsules safely with backups, encrypted fields, and deletion controls.

Scheduler

Daily job checks unlock dates and sends email/text links when a capsule arrives.

Payments

Free basic capsules, paid media uploads, friend deliveries, printable gifts, and long-term storage.
