How it works

Four steps to forever.

From creation to delivery, everything is designed around one thing — the moment your loved one opens it.

Set the date

Pick a delivery date — a 10th birthday, a wedding anniversary, the first day of retirement. We handle the rest for up to 25 years.

💌

Seal & trust

Your capsule is encrypted and stored in our vault. On delivery day, your recipient gets a private, beautifully presented link to unlock it.

From our community

Words that arrived.

From parents to children, partners to partners, friends to the people they shaped.

I sealed a video for my daughter when she was three. She opened it on her 18th birthday last month. I watched her watch me — from fifteen years ago — and we both sobbed. DearLocket made that possible.

Sealed a capsule in 2009 · Delivered 2024

My husband and I sealed a joint capsule on our wedding day to open on our 10th anniversary. Reading our younger selves — who we were, what we feared, what we hoped for — was the most intimate experience of our marriage.

Wedding capsule · Opened after 10 years

Dad passed away two years after sealing his capsule. When it delivered on my graduation day, it was him — his voice, his laugh, his advice. It was a gift I didn't know I needed and will keep forever.

Common questions

Everything you wondered.

What happens to my capsule if DearLocket ever shuts down? +
We hold client funds in a dedicated escrow and maintain a continuity plan with a designated trustee organisation. In an unlikely shutdown, all capsules are transferred to the trustee, who fulfils all scheduled deliveries. Your messages will always reach their recipients.
Can I edit or delete a capsule after sealing it? +
You can edit capsules up to 30 days after sealing. After that, they are locked to preserve the integrity of the message as it was intended. You can always create a new capsule to supplement an earlier one.
What if my recipient's contact details change? +
You can update a recipient's email address from your dashboard at any time before delivery. We also recommend adding a backup recipient — a trusted second person who can forward the capsule if needed.
Is my content private and encrypted? +
Yes. All capsule content is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. DearLocket employees cannot access the content of your capsules. Only you and your recipient can view them.
How far in the future can I schedule delivery? +
Free users can schedule up to 5 years in advance. Keeper plan users can schedule up to 25 years, and Legacy plan users benefit from our estate planning tools with no maximum delivery window.
Can I send a capsule to someone who doesn't have a DearLocket account? +
Absolutely. Recipients never need an account. On delivery day, they receive a private, secure link that lets them view the capsule directly in their browser. Nothing to sign up for — just the moment.
What video formats are supported? +
We accept MP4, MOV, AVI, and WebM files, as well as direct in-browser recording. Videos are transcoded and stored in a format optimised for long-term preservation and cross-device playback.
Is there a group or family plan for multiple people? +
Group capsules (where multiple people contribute to one capsule) are available on Keeper and Legacy plans. For family billing where multiple family members each have their own account, contact us about our Family Bundle at a discounted rate.

Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

4. Content and ownership

You retain full ownership of all content you upload to DearLocket. By uploading content, you grant DearLocket a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, and deliver that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service. You are solely responsible for ensuring your content does not violate any laws or third-party rights.

5. Prohibited content

You may not upload content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party. DearLocket reserves the right to remove any content that violates these terms and to suspend or terminate accounts responsible for such content.

6. Payments and refunds

Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. DearLocket offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. Lifetime deals carry a 60-day refund guarantee. Gift capsule purchases are non-refundable once a capsule has been viewed by the recipient.

7. Service continuity

DearLocket maintains a continuity plan to ensure capsule delivery even in the event of business closure. Customer funds are held in a dedicated escrow account, and a designated trustee organisation is contracted to fulfil all scheduled deliveries should DearLocket cease operations. Details of the continuity arrangement are available on request.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DearLocket shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount paid by you to DearLocket in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Changes to terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

10. Cryptocurrency payments

DearLocket accepts cryptocurrency payments including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT on TRC-20), and USD Coin (USDC on Solana). By paying with cryptocurrency you agree to the following conditions:

Correct network responsibility. You are solely responsible for sending the correct cryptocurrency to the correct wallet address on the correct network. DearLocket is not liable for funds lost due to sending the wrong coin, using the wrong network, or entering an incorrect address.

Confirmation requirement. After sending payment, you must email your transaction ID to crypto@dearlocket.com along with your account email. Your plan will be activated within 1 hour of transaction confirmation on the relevant blockchain.

Price at time of payment. Cryptocurrency amounts are calculated at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. DearLocket is not responsible for price fluctuations between the time of quoting and the time of sending.

No chargebacks. Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible by nature. Refunds for crypto payments are processed manually and returned in the equivalent USD value at the time of the refund request, not at the time of the original payment.

Network fees. Any blockchain network fees (gas fees, miner fees) are your responsibility and are not covered by DearLocket. DearLocket charges no additional processing fees for crypto payments.

Transaction ID. The blockchain transaction ID (TXID) you provide to us via email is stored to verify and activate your account. This is a public identifier on the blockchain and does not constitute personal data in itself.

Our promise

We built DearLocket around trust. If something is not right, we will always do our best to make it right. We are real people who care.

7. Cryptocurrency payment refunds

Refunds for cryptocurrency payments are subject to the following additional conditions, in addition to the standard refund terms above:

Irreversibility of blockchain transactions. Cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed on the blockchain. All crypto refunds are processed manually by DearLocket and returned to a wallet address you provide.

Refund value. Crypto refunds are returned in the equivalent USD value at the time of the refund request — not at the time of the original payment. DearLocket is not responsible for any gain or loss due to cryptocurrency price fluctuations between the date of payment and the date of refund.

No refund for wrong network or wrong coin. DearLocket cannot refund payments sent to the wrong wallet address, on the wrong network, or in the wrong cryptocurrency. Please always verify the address and network carefully before sending. The ⚠️ warning displayed at checkout is a binding acknowledgement of this condition.

Network fees non-refundable. Blockchain network fees (gas fees, miner fees) paid when sending a transaction are non-refundable under any circumstances, as these are paid to the network and not to DearLocket.

How to request a crypto refund. Email refunds@dearlocket.com with your transaction ID (TXID), the coin and network used, the amount sent, your account email, and the wallet address you'd like the refund sent to. We aim to process crypto refunds within 5 business days.
