Accepted Answer

Yes! Your capsules are stored securely and are not accessible to anyone else.

Question 11

Can I send a time capsule to multiple recipients?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You can schedule capsules to up to 10 recipients at once, making it perfect for sharing future messages with family, friends, colleagues, or your entire team. Each recipient will receive the same capsule at the same scheduled time, creating a shared experience of receiving messages from the past. When the capsule is delivered, recipients will see a note indicating which email address scheduled it, so they know who sent it from the past.

Question 12

What happens if my email address changes?

Accepted Answer

When you change your sign-in email in Account settings, you confirm the change from both your current and new inbox. After that, pending time capsules addressed to you are delivered to your new address. Additional recipients you added stay the same, and capsules that were already sent keep the address they were delivered to. If you signed in with Google, you may need to set a password first before you can change your EmailToFuture sign-in email; Google sign-in still uses your original Google account.

Question 13

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Open Account settings and schedule account deletion. There is a 7-day grace period during which you can cancel. While deletion is scheduled, your account is read-only. After the grace period, your account and all associated data — including undelivered time capsules, reflections, and attachments — are permanently deleted. Pending capsules will not be delivered. Emails already sent to recipients cannot be recalled.

Question 14

What can I manage in Account settings?

Accepted Answer

In Account settings you can change your password (or set one if you signed in with Google), change your sign-in email, sign out other devices or every session, join or leave the mobile app waitlist, and schedule or cancel account deletion.
