- Click on the text box and start writing your first Klok ( Klok is the content of your capsule). You can upload images, recordings, documents, voice messages, songs, or anything to make it more personal and heart-touching.
- To allocate the Klok to a capsule, you will need to click “Select Capsule”, “Create Capsule”, and choose between “Adult”, “Minor” or “Deceased”. After choosing the most suitable option, you will need a phone number to complete an adult capsule, or a guardian’s number to make a minor capsule. A phone number is not required for a deceased capsule. But don’t worry, they won’t have access to the capsules.
