What is iSent - time capsule?
Launched a digital service where users can message themselves or loved ones in the future (their set date).
Problem
Users previously relied on physical time capsules, scheduled emails, or manual reminders to send messages to their future selves or others, but these methods suffered from insecure storage, risk of loss, and inconsistent engagement due to forgotten dates or impersonal formats.
Solution
A digital time capsule platform where users can schedule text, photos, or videos to be delivered to themselves or others at a specific future date, with options to customize delivery dates and media types (e.g., a birthday message to a child set to arrive in 10 years).
Customers
Individuals celebrating milestones (e.g., new parents, graduates), long-distance families, and professionals (e.g., therapists, coaches) seeking to create reflective or motivational prompts for clients.
Unique Features
Combines emotional storytelling with scheduled delivery, supports multimedia attachments, and offers password protection for sensitive messages.
