Write today.
Open on a date
you choose.
A journal entry written this morning. Read back in your own voice, on your daughter's 18th birthday. Or to a friend ten years from now. Or to yourself on a date you set today and trust the system to keep.
lovio is a side-feature of HiveJournal. Same login. Same writing surface. One new column: when does this open, and for whom.
Walk through a recipient's unlock experience without signing up.
How it works.
Three steps, none of them complicated. The hard parts (voice cloning, rendering, scheduled delivery, decades of storage) happen behind the curtain so you can focus on what to write.
1. Write the entry.
Anywhere on HiveJournal. Flag it for lovio when you're done — or decide later. The composer doesn't change.
2. Record your voice once.
Read aloud for sixty seconds. We clone your voice and store the consent recording as proof. Your voice never narrates anyone else's capsules — only yours.
3. Seal a capsule.
Pick one or more entries. Pick a recipient and a date. We render the audio, lock the capsule, and email the recipient when the date arrives — even if it's eighteen years from now.
What you might write.
People write very different things when they know it's going to a specific human at a specific moment. A few prompts to consider.
For your kid's 18th
A series of entries written across their childhood — what they were like at four, the night they slept through, the time you watched them try and fail and try again. Opened the day they leave home.
For a friend on their wedding day
The toast you wish you could give but won't actually be there for. Read in your voice while they get ready.
For your future self
A capsule to yourself on a date ten years out. The version of you reading it gets to hear what you swore you'd remember.
For someone after you're gone
Coming with our legacy partner network in 2027. For v1 we're sticking to dates — the death-trigger version needs trust signals and partnerships we don't have yet. We're not going to half-ship it.
What we're not going to mess around with.
lovio is built on three commitments. They're the difference between a feature you'll trust with your kid's 18th birthday and one you won't.
- Voice cloning requires recorded consent.
Before we clone your voice, you read a one-sentence consent statement aloud. We keep that recording forever as proof of opt-in. Your voice cannot be used to narrate anyone else's capsules — only entries you wrote, narrated to recipients you named.
- Audio is rendered at seal time, not at unlock.
The MP3 is generated the day you seal the capsule and stored as-is. If we change voice providers, change pricing, or shut down in 2042, the audio that was rendered the day you sealed is the audio your recipient hears. No “voice unavailable” surprises.
- You can revoke a capsule any time before unlock.
Sealed doesn't mean final. Until the unlock date passes, you can pull a capsule back. After it's delivered we can still revoke the recipient's access on request. Lovio doesn't hold anyone hostage.
Get in early.
We're opening the voice-clone setup + first capsules to a small group first. One email when it's your turn.
