Choosing an unlock date that actually means something
Birthdays, moves, graduations, New Year—how to pick a day that turns a sealed file into a ritual.

An unlock date is not just metadata. It is the moment the story lands.
Good anchors
- A birthday or anniversary
- Graduation, a move, or a new job start date
- One, five, or ten years from today
- A holiday you always want to mark
Avoid fuzzy dates
“Someday” is how capsules never get sealed. Pick a real day on the calendar and commit.
Pro tip
If you are sealing for someone else, choose a date they will recognize—not only one that matters to you.

Seal your own
Put a message away for a day that matters.
