What is Sealed for a family reunion?
Sealed is a family reunion photo app where up to 30 relatives join one capsule from a link or a QR code, take live photos from their own phones without seeing them, and open everything together when the host chose. Only the host installs the app, free on iPhone and Android, and the first capsule is free.
Shot live, never chosenNo camera-roll imports. Every photo is taken in the moment, without a preview.
Sealed until openingThe Sealed server never shows a photo before the capsule opens, not even to the person who took it.
One reveal for everyoneThe capsule unlocks for every member at the same moment, with a soundtrack-backed montage and a polaroid wall.
No app for your guests
Your guests install nothing.
They scan, they shoot.
Share the capsule link or print a QR card for each table. Guests open it in their phone browser, type a first name and shoot into the capsule. No account and no download. You create the capsule in the Sealed app and everything still opens for everyone at the same moment.
A first name, then shoot
No account and nothing to install. Every photo is sealed as it is taken and nobody sees it before the opening.
Opens for all at once
At the opening time guests see the album from the same link, on the same phone.
The link of your capsule works the same way: sealedreveal.com/j/ followed by its code.
Print table cardsHow it works
One link. Four moves.
One reveal for the whole family.
No album to assemble from ten phones. Create the capsule, send the link and let Sealed hold the weekend.
Create the reunion capsule
Name it and choose when it opens: 24 hours for a day together, “Weekend” for 3 days or “Give it a week” for 7 days.
Send the link to the family
Relatives open it, add a first name and shoot from their browser. No app, no account, nothing to explain to the grandparents.
Shoot blind all weekend
Lunch, football on the lawn, the big family photo: every photo goes straight into the capsule, with no preview and no do-over.
Open it together
The capsule unlocks for everyone at once: montage with soundtrack, polaroid wall and Wrapped recap. Save the photos you want to your library.
Good to know
Made for the family.
Honest about the limits.
A family reunion is a good size for Sealed, up to a point.
30 phones, 500 photos
Plenty for a close family. For a bigger reunion, start one capsule per household or per branch of the family.
Aged 13 and over
Sealed is meant for people aged 13 and over, so younger cousins watch the reveal with an adult instead of shooting themselves.
Kept 30 days after opening
Photos of a shared capsule are deleted from the Sealed server 30 days after it opens, so save what you want to keep.
Seal it for 3 days and open it when everyone is home.

Good questions
Before you
seal the reunion.
Everything worth knowing, without the tiny print.
Do guests need an account?+
No. Guests open the link or scan the QR code, type a first name and start shooting from their browser. Nobody needs an account or an app to join. Only the host creates the capsule, in the Sealed app.
Do guests have to download an app?+
No. Guests open your link or scan the QR code and shoot from their phone browser. There is nothing to install and no account, only a first name. They can also use the free Sealed app on iPhone or Android and join with the six-character code. Everyone shoots into the same capsule and it opens for everyone at the same time. You create the capsule in the Sealed app.
Can the children shoot too?+
Sealed is meant for people aged 13 and over, 16 where local law requires, and is not designed for children under 13. Younger children can watch the reveal with an adult.
What if the family is bigger than 30?+
One capsule holds up to 30 phones. Start one capsule per household or branch of the family and share each link with the right people.
When does the capsule open?+
You choose at creation: 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days from the moment you create it, or a day and time you pick, up to 13 days ahead. It opens for everyone at the same moment and the host can only push it later, never sooner.
Where are the photos stored?+
Photos of a shared capsule go to the Sealed server so that every member sees the same reveal. The server never shows a photo before opening, not even to the person who took it, and everything in a shared capsule is deleted 30 days after it opens.
Can guests add photos from their camera roll?+
No. Every photo is shot live inside Sealed, without preview or filter. That is what keeps the reveal honest.
How much does Sealed cost?+
Sealed is free to download on iPhone and Android and the first capsule is free. After that, creating more capsules needs Sealed Plus, a subscription shown at your store’s price inside the app. Joining a capsule never costs anything.
One capsule. One family.One reveal worth waiting for.
Create the capsule before the first relative arrives, send the link to the family and open it together once everyone is home. Free on iPhone and Android, first capsule included.
