Time Capsule
Time Capsule is a team time capsule online, built for a shared board. Everyone writes a note for the future and folds it in. Other people's notes stay folded, so nobody reads them early.
Use Time Capsule together on your board.
When the notes are in, someone seals the capsule with an open date. A countdown runs for everyone, and on that day anyone can open it and read the notes one by one, each with its writer and the date it was written.
It runs on a shared MockFlow board, next to the work the notes are about. Everyone on the board sees the same capsule and the same countdown.
- Folded notes. Notes show as folded slips in the capsule window, so the count grows but the words stay private.
- Notes with photos. Add a photo from your MockFlow files to any note.
- Sealed with a date. Choose a month, six months, a year or any date. Sealing locks the capsule for everyone.
- Shared countdown. Everyone on the board sees the same countdown, and the capsule shows who sealed it and when.
- Read one by one. When it opens, each note appears on its own with the writer's name and the day it was written.
- Start again and undo. Start again clears the capsule for a new one, and Undo brings it back if that was a mistake.
