Common question

What does the TimeCapsule actually do?

Phones are fragile; without a proper solution, you will lose them. These issues include theft, misplacing your phone, or deleting photos due to insufficient storage. It’s just a headache.

We built the device that solves all of these problems. It's the library for you and your entire family. By using this, you save all the headache that's going to come with managing photos.

  • Don’t lose memories

    If your phone is lost, stolen, or breaks, your photos still remain safe on your TimeCapsule at home. Just log in from another device, and you're done!

  • Never storage problems again!

    Once backed up, delete the photos on your phone, and bang, you have space. Don't worry, everything is still on your TimeCapsule, and you can redownload it anytime you want.

  • Private by design

    Your photos live on your hardware at home, not a company’s cloud. So losing them is effectively impossible.

Main feature

Automatic backups that stay yours

TimeCapsule’s #1 promise is that every photo leaves your phone automatically. It lands on your hardware and stays private forever.

Automatic backups

Backup all your Photos and videos with 1 click!

Turn on Immich backup once, and every new photo flows to your TimeCapsule automatically, in original quality. The moment you plug it into the charger, it will sync.

  • One‑tap setup

    Enable backups on iOS or Android and watch new photos sync automatically.

  • Original quality

    No compression! Back up your photos and videos as they are.

  • Private by design

    Your memories live on your hardware, at home, encrypted in transit.

And... it just works out of the box.

Global Access

Use it from anywhere in the world

We built it from the ground up so it works from anywhere in the world. No need to be at your local LAN and no need for a VPN or port forwarding.

  • Access it from anywhere

    Back up and view all of your memories from anywhere.

  • Zero Struggle

    No need for a VPN, and no port forwarding needed. It just works out of the box.

  • Relax no maintance needed.

    You can relax; all the configuration and maintenance work is done automatically.

And there’s more to come

Backups that last for years... NEVER worry again.

Effective Storage

Save your entire Bloodlines memory

Photos only
100x photos Everyday = 40 Years
Video only
1GB Video Everday = 11 Years

It has enough storage for you to never worry about it ever again. That does not include our compression technique (opt-in, coming via OTA); by using that new technique, you can expect a 2x-3x bump in these values.

Stuff, that will actually make your life easier

That's not all; let's make your life even easier.

"Moved away from all subscriptions, but for photos the inconvenience was too high. Stored it manually on a USB stick and on my PC; it was a mess. Till I found you guys — great product."

Karl Borchardt

Business owner

"Seriously, that was stupidly easy. Was messing with a NAS, but the networking and management of accessing from the outside made me sick of it. This is truly unique and made my life a lot easier!"

Ludwig Schulz

computer specialist

“I stored everything on my phone. But one day it got stolen, and I have lost everything. Learned my lesson and bought the Time Capsule; since then, I've been feeling much safer.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. We built TimeCapsule with that exact problem in mind. Just install the app, log in with your credentials, and it connects to your Time Capsule automatically—no configuration, no setup; it just works like magic.
Yes. We are preparing an optional upgrade kit that makes upgrading your storage effortless. You simply install the new SSD, plug the upgrade kit into one of the USB ports, and your existing photos are automatically transferred to the new drive with no manual steps. We will also publish a lab test for SSD recommendations (testing many vendors for endurance and reliability) so you and the entire industry will know which drive is going to be the best for long-term data storage.
Yes. Your photos and videos are stored directly on your TimeCapsule at home, not in a public cloud or anywhere else. You stay in control of your memories at all times; just choose a strong password, keep it safe, and you are good to go.
Yes. You can connect an external drive to one of the USB ports and enable automatic backup directly from your dashboard. TimeCapsule will then back up all photos and videos from all users to that drive. You can choose a one-time backup or an automatic schedule so everything stays up-to-date. In case of a drive failure or device replacement, you can use this backup to restore your TimeCapsule or access your files from a computer.
We are building Solia for the long term with more products in the pipeline and a clear plan to grow. At the same time, your TimeCapsule is designed to stay independent: if our cloud services are ever unreachable, it automatically switches to offline mode and remains accessible in your local network, including the dashboard. You can continue to back up, recover, and access your photos and videos at home without depending on our servers.
Anytime you are unsure or want to clarify something, just reach out. Use the contact form on this page or send us an email at [email protected], and we will personally help you with your questions. Whatever it might be, we are here to help you!
Right now, TimeCapsule is focused on what it does best: safely storing your photos and videos at home. In parallel, we are actively building additional features that will become part of the TimeCapsule experience, including secure file storage, smart home integrations, and an AI assistant designed to help you organize your media and your home more intelligently. These features are planned, under development, and will roll out step by step.
Exactly. You could even build something similar yourself with an NAS, but the complexity and maintenance quickly become annoying and error-prone. With our product, you get everything in one package, without needing to hire a full-time technician or stay locked into a subscription where your photos disappear the moment you stop paying.
