Time Capsule

Sealed Today. Opened When It Matters.

Cloud accounts disappear, providers change terms and files quietly rot. A Firevault Time Capsule preserves the letters, recordings and milestone files you want delivered years from now, sealed offline until the moment is right.

Why OSS

Time Capsule

Your most sensitive data deserves protection that goes beyond software. Firevault provides the only storage that is physically unreachable by design.

Why Cloud Time Capsules Fail

The future cannot rely on a login that no longer exists.

Provider Outlives No One

Cloud services rebrand, get acquired or shut down. The capsule you sealed in 2010 may have no owner left to open in 2035.

Format And Format Decay

Files locked behind expired apps, deprecated formats and lost passwords become unreadable long before the date you intended to open them.

Always-On Means Always At Risk

A capsule sat in cloud storage for twenty years is twenty years of breach exposure, scraping and silent account compromise.

The Reality

Cloud accounts are not permanent.

LastPass: 1.6 Million UK Users' Data Exposed After Breach

Hackers stole encrypted vaults and personal data from LastPass. Users who trusted the platform with long-term storage had everything exposed, demonstrating that cloud providers are not permanent custodians.

Co-op: 6.5 Million Members' Records Stolen

Attackers exfiltrated personal data of all 6.5 million Co-op members. Data stored with the assumption of long-term safety was taken in a single attack.

BBC News, 2025

Capita: 6 Million People's Long-Term Records Accessed

Capita held long-term records for pension schemes, councils, and institutions. The ICO fined the company £14 million after hackers accessed data spanning years of accumulated personal records.

The Scenario

A message that almost never arrived.

A father records a series of birthday messages for his daughter, to be opened on her 18th, 21st and 30th. He stores them in a popular cloud locker. Eleven years later the provider sunsets the product. The files are unrecoverable. With a Firevault Time Capsule, the recordings would have stayed sealed offline, untouched by any provider decision, ready to open exactly when intended.

"If it has to last a lifetime, it cannot live on someone else's server."

The OSS Time Capsule

Seal it offline. Open it on your terms.

Your Time Capsule lives inside a physically disconnected vault. Letters, voice notes, photographs and milestone files stay sealed offline until a chosen date, life event or named recipient triggers retrieval.

  • Offline by default, physically disconnected for the entire wait
  • Date-based or event-based release windows you define in advance
  • Format-stable storage that outlives apps, accounts and providers
  • Identity-locked retrieval by named recipients only

Write Legacy Documents to the Vault

Step 1 of 3

Letters, voice notes, photographs, and milestone files are written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Once sealed, the capsule has no cloud dependency and no provider risk.
