Livo EnterprisesSending to someone
Version 2 · Last updated 9 November 2026
A capsule you send is a file. The person opens it in Livo with one tap, or in any browser without Livo at all.
Share with Livo
Open Capsules, tap a capsule, then Share with Livo. The capsule goes into the share sheet: AirDrop when you are in the room, Messages or Mail when it is small enough, or Files for an iCloud Drive link to something bigger. From a Memory, Share › Share with Livo seals it first if it is not sealed yet. The file is named so that anyone can tell what to do with it: “Livo Capsule - Anna Lee - Friday Night - 2026-10-03 - UNZIP, then open START HERE.zip”.
For a gift, with a dedication and a video that plays with one tap, see Making a gift. With Curator, a capsule can also go as a OneDrive link, or to the whole family at once through Family Share.
Receiving a capsule
Tap a capsule file in Messages, Mail, AirDrop or Files and Livo opens it: “You received a Memory” from the sender, with its name, what is in it and when it was sealed. Tap Add to My Livo. The capsule goes into your Capsules; its photos go into your Camera Roll and your Gallery, in the Moment of the day they were taken; the people and places it names are matched to yours or created; and the Memory appears in Memory Lane with “From Anna”. Not Now changes nothing.
A photo you already have is recognized and never added twice, even if it arrives again in another capsule. Stop while adding keeps the photos already added and makes no Memory; the capsule’s own screen carries on where it stopped.
Receiving a gift
A gift opens with its dedication (“For Grandma · 80th birthday · from the Jones kids”) and a Watch button that plays the video at once, before anything is added. Add to My Livo brings in the Memory as above; Save to Photos as an album puts the photos and the video into an album in Photos named for the gift, for someone who would rather stay in Photos. A line at the bottom says the gift was made with Livo, and how to make one.
Without Livo
Unzip the file on any computer and open START HERE - open with any web browser.html. The photos, the story, the narration and the video are all there; a gift’s page starts with the dedication and plays the video at the top. An Android phone or a Windows PC can play the video and see the photos; only the one-tap Add to My Livo needs an iPhone.
