How do I get started?
Create a Capsule, name the people you trust, choose how often to
check in, and add the contents you want them to receive. You can
refine its plan whenever you are actively subscribed.
What can I keep in a Capsule?
Add files, folders, photos, videos, messages, instructions, and
credentials. Each Capsule can have its own trusted contacts,
recipients, check-in cadence, grace period, and release plan.
What happens if I miss a check-in?
Your Capsule enters its grace period. It does not immediately
release. The planned flow sends reminders, reaches out to trusted
contacts, and completes required verification before following your
release plan. For eligible Capsules configured with “No grace
period”, a 24-hour urgent retry safeguard is used instead before
release begins (Capsules containing credentials require a minimum 10-day
grace period).
Can different Capsules have different rules?
Yes. Each Capsule has its own recipients, check-in cadence, grace
period, security requirements, and action plan. Connected Capsules
can share defaults, and each Capsule can override them.
Can I check in once every five years?
Yes—that is part of the planned design. Choose weekly, monthly,
annual, or a custom interval for each Capsule, including once every
five years. The interval sets when your next check-in is due; it
does not extend subscription access. It continues for a Permanent
Capsule using the cadence frozen at conversion.
Does a trusted contact receive my files?
Not automatically. Trusted contacts help confirm your status.
Recipients are the people you designate to receive specific Capsule
contents under your release plan.
Does OurSircle replace a will or an executor?
No. OurSircle helps organize and share information. It does not
replace a will, legal authority, an executor, or emergency services.
Is release or delivery guaranteed?
Release depends on active coverage and your configured conditions
and verification requirements being met. A missed check-in does not
immediately release private information. We cannot guarantee that a
recipient remains reachable or accepts delivery.
