The app
Their voice, kept.
The free Life's Capsule app turns each answer into a capsule — a small archive your family can return to for generations.
Voice first. Answers are recorded as they're spoken — the pauses and the laughter too.
Every way to tell it. Record video, take a photo, leave comments — whatever fits the story.
Play together. Share the games you play with family and friends, so everyone can see the stories grow.
Private by design. Capsules are shared only with the people you choose.

Who is Story Capsule for?
Anyone with a story to keep. Most families buy it for a parent or grandparent and play together — over dinner, on a call, or one card a week.
Do I need the app to use the cards?
The cards work on their own as conversation starters. The app is what saves the stories — scan a card, record the answer, and it's kept as a capsule.
Is the app free?
Yes. The Life's Capsule app comes free with your deck — recording and saving Story Capsule answers costs nothing more.
What if my parents aren't comfortable with technology?
If they can point a camera, they can do this. Scan, talk, done — and you can set everything up for them from your own phone.
Who can hear the recordings?
Only the people you choose. Capsules are private to your family — nothing is ever public.
