Clock in now. Deliver at the gold watch.
A retirement time capsule: from your first day of work to your last, or from a team to the colleague walking out the door. Scheduled for the day the badge comes off.
“Recorded on my first day. The office plants are new. So am I.”
“All three of us, saying thank you for every 6 a.m. shift, before you’ve even finished them.”
“Where everything is filed, and what actually mattered. In that order.”
Three steps, then time does the rest.
Record on an ordinary workday
What the job is like now, what you hope it adds up to, who you’re doing it for.
Schedule the last day
A date decades out is fine. We hold the message on durable storage until it arrives.
Open it on the way out
The email lands as the career ends. The beginning, addressed to the finish line.
A message from your first day of work to your last
It sounds almost too neat, and then it isn’t: a video recorded in the first week of a career, delivered on the last day of it. What did you think this job would be? Who were you doing it for? What did you promise yourself the work would never turn you into? Nobody remembers their own answers thirty years later — which is exactly why the video is worth two minutes now. Schedule it for a date decades out; long horizons are what the service is built for.
Ideas for families and teams
The retirement message doesn’t have to come from the retiree. Children record thank-yous for a parent mid-career — every 6 a.m. shift acknowledged years before it ends — scheduled for the day the alarm stops mattering. Teams collect short clips for a colleague’s last day, which lands very differently than a signed card: thirty seconds of each person, unpolished, saying what it was actually like to work alongside them. Collect the clips, upload them, date them for the farewell.
Can you really schedule a video 30 years ahead?
Yes, and it’s a fair question to ask of any service holding something that matters. Videos live on durable, standard cloud storage — nothing proprietary — with the delivery date attached. Deliveries go out on their dates regardless of what life does in between. And if the service ever needed to wind down, the commitment is notice and an export option, so the message you sealed in your thirties still finds its way to the person you become.
Can I really schedule 20 or 30 years out?
Yes. There’s no upper limit on the delivery date. Long-horizon messages are exactly what MemoryBoxd is built to hold.
What if my retirement date moves?
Unlocked videos can be rescheduled any time. If the date moves, move the delivery with it.
Can a team record one for a retiring colleague?
Yes. Collect short clips from the team, upload them, and schedule delivery for the retirement date. On Premium you can schedule to any email.
What happens to my videos if something happens to me?
Scheduled deliveries go out on their dates regardless. That’s the promise of the service: the message arrives even when life gets complicated.
Forty years of workdays deserve one message that waited the whole time.
