SHARED CAPSULE
A Shared Capsule brings together your stories and the stories of their people — compiled into a single page that captures who they are.
You answer prompts, invite the people who should contribute, and we do the rest — compiling, drafting, and refining until it's ready for your review. Nothing is published until you say it's right.
01
You answer your prompts.
Who they are, your stories , and the details that are distinctly them. Takes as little as 15 minutes in one sitting, or a few minutes at a time. Come back whenever you have more to add.
02
You invite contributors.
Invite the people who know them — each person answers their own set of prompts privately. We provide a ready-to-send message. You don't have to explain or organize anything.
03
We compile the draft.
After we receive all contributions, you'll get a private link to a first draft. Review it, leave notes, request changes — as many rounds as it takes.
04
Your capsule goes live.
After your approval, the capsule is published — a private digital page with compiled stories, quotes and photos. Add a bound book if you want something to hold.
what it becomes
This is a sample of what a completed Shared Capsule looks like — the actual product. Your capsule will have the same structure, built entirely from what you and your contributors share. Private by default; you control who can see it.

Jean Graunke
1942 — 2023 · wife, mother, grandmother
opening
Jean Graunke was the kind of person who made a room feel complete without making a sound. She was the oyster stew and the Christmas Eve candlelight and the way a kitchen smelled in December. She was a gardener, a keeper of things, a woman who said less than she knew and gave more than she said. The people who loved her are many, and they remember her differently — but they remember the same warmth.
memories & stories
"Every Christmas she made the same oyster stew from a recipe she'd never written down. When I asked her once how she knew the proportions, she said, 'You just know.' She was right. I've never been able to replicate it."
Brittany Graunke · granddaughter
"She had a garden that should have been too ambitious for the climate. She grew things that didn't belong there — and somehow they thrived. I think she just refused to believe they wouldn't."
Margaret Graunke · daughter
"She wrote letters. Real ones, on paper, with her handwriting that looked like it had somewhere to be. I still have the one she sent when I graduated. I've moved four times since then and it's always come with me."

who it's for
after a loss
The people who loved them are still here, still holding pieces of the picture. The details get harder to remember as time passes and people scatter. A capsule is a reason to gather them now - and a place to keep adding.
while they're still here
A milestone birthday. A retirement. Someone worth celebrating while they are around to receive it. Their people contribute what they know - their stories, their details, their version of who the person is.
to mark what mattered
A mentor. A coach. A teacher. At a retirement, the end of a season, or just because. Gather the people who know them - teammates, students, colleagues - and let each one contribute what they know.
