For Maya,
on her sixteenth
birthday.
Opens 18 · 03 · 2040
Vaulora holds what you create today, words, voice, photographs, video, and delivers it to the people you love on the day you choose.
Free to start · Takes 10 minutes
— What it is
You create it now, words, your voice, a photograph, a video, and choose who receives it, and when. Maybe it's for your daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Maybe it's for yourself in five years. Maybe it's for the person you love, on the morning of an anniversary that hasn't happened yet.
Once you seal it, it is gone from your hands. You cannot edit it, retract it, or read it again. On the day you chose, it arrives. Not as a notification. As a ceremony.
That is the whole product.
— Why it was built
Craig Lawrence built Vaulora because he wanted to show his daughter how loved she was, not just now, but across every year of her life. He and his wife began creating Vauloras for her before she could read them. Words, photographs, voice notes. Moments she would not remember but would one day be able to hold.
He needed somewhere to put them that he could trust. Somewhere that would wait as long as it needed to. Nothing like that existed. So he built it.
Vaulora exists because some things are worth saying now, even when the right moment has not arrived yet.

How it works
Every Vaulora stays in your hands until you choose to seal it. Your pricing is locked the moment you begin, not when you seal.
01
ABOUT A MINUTE
Who receives it. When they open it. The date can be a birthday, anniversary, or milestone. Recipients do not need a Vaulora account.
You can edit the date any time before sealing, within the same pricing tier.
02
YOUR PACE
Add words, voice, photographs, video. Come back tomorrow or next month. Edit what you wrote. Add something new. The Living Vaulora is designed for years of additions. The Collective grows as each contributor adds their piece. Nothing is final until you say so, and pricing is locked at the moment you begin, not when you seal.
Every Vaulora is editable until the moment you seal it.
03
IRREVERSIBLE
When you are ready, not before, you seal it. After this moment it is gone from your hands. It cannot be edited, re-read, or recalled. On the day you chose, it arrives.
This is the only part of the experience we do not want to make easier.
The Living Vaulora
Designed to be built over months or years. Reminders bring you back. Seal it when it is complete, not before. Monthly billing runs while it is building, with a minimum of three months.

Stories
My mother died in the spring of last year. Six months before she went, she sealed a Living Vaulora for me — a letter every Sunday for the twenty weeks she knew she had left. I open one each Sunday now. I have not wanted a single one to be the last.
Priya

every Sunday, for twenty weeks
When our son was born, my husband and I sealed a Collective Vaulora with forty-three of the people who love him. Grandparents, godparents, the friends who carried us through the pregnancy. He opens it on his eighteenth birthday. He will meet every one of us at the age we are now.

his eighteenth birthday
I never got to thank my father properly before he passed. I wrote him a letter anyway, sealed it in a Single Vaulora, and set it to open on what would have been his seventieth. It is not for him. It is for me, to know I said it.

My husband and I are emigrating from Johannesburg to Perth next month. Before we go, I sealed a Legacy Vaulora for my parents — a letter for each of their birthdays for the next ten years, photographs of the grandchildren, videos of our Sunday lunches. They will hear from us on the days that matter, even when we cannot be there.

I am seventy-three. I do not have grandchildren yet, but my daughter is pregnant with her first. I sealed a voice letter — just my voice, telling her about the day she was born, and the day I met her grandfather, and what I hope for her child. It opens on the day the baby turns ten.

the baby's tenth birthday
My daughter got married last September. I spent six months before the wedding sealing a Living Vaulora for her — a note every week about what I was remembering, what I was hoping, what I wanted her to know that I was never quite able to say out loud. She opens it on her first anniversary. I am grateful this exists. I would not have known how else to say what needed saying.

Real people. Real Vauloras. Named here with their permission.
The commitment
This is not a feature. It is a promise. Here is what backs it.
Your content is encrypted before it leaves your device. No member of the Vaulora team opens, views, or reads what you created. It arrives exactly as you made it.
We hold your Vaulora against a guarantee that outlives this company. An independent trustee holds a guarantee that ensures delivery even if Vaulora ceases to exist.
You set the date. We hold it until then. The recipient cannot open it early. You cannot retract it after sealing. The gap between sealing and opening is where the value lives.
No one is notified that something exists until the day it arrives. The recipient does not know. The seal is silent until it speaks.
Every sealed Vaulora will be delivered on its specified date. The infrastructure for this commitment is designed to outlive the company.
