How it works

Three steps to live forever.

Bring in what you already have, add the parts only you can tell, and decide who inherits it. The AI does the organizing.

  1. 01

    Sync what’s already yours.

    Drop in your Instagram archive — photos, videos, and captions come in organized. Or drag any file straight into your capsule.

  2. 02

    Add what’s still in your head.

    Short selfie videos with guided prompts — tell your story in your own words, the way only you can. The AI organizes, tags, and transcribes.

  3. 03

    Name the people. Set the rules.

    Choose who opens it. Choose when. Choose what each person sees. Future-letter mode addresses a specific person on a specific date, decades from now.

What’s built, and what’s coming.

Pastpond is a generational promise, so we build in the open. Here is the whole map.

End-to-end encryption

Live

Your passphrase derives your key on your device. We store only ciphertext — we cannot read your capsule.

AI organization

Live

Claude describes and tags your photos; your voice is transcribed on your own device. All of it is encrypted before it is stored.

Photo & file capsule

Live

Upload photos, videos, and documents, with fast private previews. Drag anything straight in.

Voice & video, with prompts

Live

Record short messages guided by prompts — tell your story in your own words.

Instagram import

Live

Drop in your Instagram archive — photos, videos, and captions come in organized.

Succession & beneficiaries

Live

Name who opens it and when: a check-in safeguard, fixed dates, or a recipient’s age — with a 12-month escrow against mistakes.

Integrity proofs

Live

Your capsule’s fingerprint is anchored to Bitcoin, so anyone can verify it has not been altered — without trusting us.

Unlock once per device + custom prepay

Live

Stay unlocked on your own device, and pay for exactly the time you want — any term up to 9,999 years.
