Q: How do I start my Time Capsule?
A: Start by creating your account, then choose a prompt or start a free-record story. Tap Record, speak naturally, and save. Your story will appear in your Time Capsule automatically.

Q: I’m not good with technology. Can I still do this?
A: Yes. PTC is designed to be simple. If you can press a button and talk, you can use it. If you tell me what device you’re on (iPhone, Android, or computer), I can guide you step-by-step.

Q: Can I do a little at a time?
A: Absolutely. Many people record 2–5 minutes at a time. Your Time Capsule builds over time.

Q: What should I record first?
A: A great first recording is “Where you grew up” or “A favorite childhood memory.” If you want, I can suggest a prompt based on your goal (family history, life lessons, immigration story, or messages to kids).
