TimeCapsule Software Solutions

Software that gives you your time back.

TimeCapsule Software Solutions is a brand-new company built on an old-fashioned promise: the software you buy should work for you — and only for you.

No subscription for software you could simply own. No cloud you never asked for. No features you don’t need, priced like you do. Just honest tools that do their job, on your machine, and hand the hours back to the person they belong to.

Our Mission

Fix what software got wrong — quietly, and for good.

Our mission is to build software that solves real problems without costing you your privacy, your data, or your patience. Every TimeCapsule product begins the same way: with a piece of software that already exists, and the quiet frustrations everyone has learned to live with. The settings buried six menus deep. The account you had to create just to open your own file. The update that rearranged everything overnight. The monthly bill for something you finished paying for years ago.

We take those frustrations personally. Where existing software is bloated, ours is lean. Where it watches, ours looks away. Where it rents, ours sells outright — once, fairly, and then it’s yours — across nearly everything we build. We would rather build one tool that does its job beautifully than ten that do everything adequately and nothing well.

And we hold ourselves to a simple test for everything we ship: does this give the person using it more time than it takes? If the answer isn’t yes, it doesn’t ship.

Our Vision

A world where buying software means owning it again.

We see a person sitting down at their own computer, opening a tool they bought once, and getting straight to work. It works today. It will work in ten years. It doesn’t need anyone’s permission, anyone’s server, or anyone’s renewal notice to do the job it was bought to do.

We believe time is worth as much as money — and most days, more. Money can be earned back. An evening cannot. So we measure our software the way you measure your life: in hours returned. Every paper form retired, every total counted for you, every errand a program runs while you do something better — that is the product. The software is just how we deliver it.

Software used to be a thing you owned, like a good wrench. We intend to build it that way again — and to be the company people point to when they say, those folks still make it the right way.

There are no problems. Only solutions we haven’t built yet.

The founder’s rule, and the company’s

How We Build

The TimeCapsule Standard

  1. No. 1

    Most of it: you buy it, you own it.

    One honest price, and the software is yours — for good. No subscriptions, no renewals, no features held back behind a monthly toll. A purchase should be an ending, not the start of a bill. The exception is a small one: a few of our office products may come with a subscription price. Here is why, plainly: a live service like that needs constant maintenance and tech support behind it, and those costs don’t stop after the sale — a one-time price simply can’t cover them. The subscription pays for that work and nothing else. And two promises ride with it: we will keep that rate affordable, and we will never pad those products with extras just to charge a better price. The software itself still lives on the customer’s own computer, and their data still stays on their own hardware — nothing about that changes. Everything else follows the rule: buy it once, and it’s yours.

  2. No. 2

    It runs on your hardware.

    Your computer is quite capable, and your files already have a home. Our software lives there with them — it never requires cloud storage, and it never holds your own work somewhere you can’t reach it.

  3. No. 3

    Your privacy is not a product.

    We do not mine data. We do not track you, profile you, or sell a single thing about you — not to advertisers, not to anyone, not ever. What happens on your machine stays on your machine. That isn’t a policy we can quietly change; it’s how the software is built.

  4. No. 4

    The features you need. Nothing you don’t.

    We will never rebuild a product and load it with unnecessary features just to justify a bigger price. The product stays the product: you get what you need, and you get what you want — as long as it doesn’t bloat the software and get in the way of the job it was built to do. Every feature has to earn its place by solving a real problem for a real person. And if you want something beyond that, talk to us. We won’t cram it into the core program — we’ll build it as a separate, side-standing companion that works alongside it. Your tool stays lean, honest, and fairly priced, and you still get the extra, in the place it belongs.

  5. No. 5

    Priced like we mean it.

    Fair prices, set so ordinary people and small businesses can actually afford good tools. If a price ever rises, it will be to keep pace with the cost of living — never simply because it could.

Security

We can’t lose what we never hold.

Your phones talk to your server — never to us. When a TimeCapsule service needs your phone or your tablet to communicate with your server, we provide you a download link — and then we step out of the way. The apps and the connections are housed on your server, under your roof. Nothing routes through TimeCapsule, nothing passes through our hands, and there is no server of ours sitting in the middle of your business.

Our software never attaches to your sensitive information. It does not connect to your bank accounts. It does not plug into an employee HR database. If a system holds the things a breach could truly hurt you with, our software stays away from it — by design, not by promise.

The barest minimum, and no more. Some of our tools do hold a little information — the least the job can be done with, and not one field further. An employee registry keeps a name, a phone number, and a hire date. Never a Social Security number. Never a home address. A client entry is an address, and only an address — not even a client’s name. We reduce ourselves to the barest minimum needed to provide the service you asked for, and we stop there.

That is the whole doctrine, and it goes further than not harvesting your information: we will never make ourselves eligible to receive it. Plenty of companies promise to keep their hands off your data. We build so there is nothing for us to receive in the first place.

One honest word about the rest, because we would rather say it out loud than let anyone assume it: the security of your own hardware, server, and network is yours to set up and keep up. It is only ever as strong as your own setup — your VPN, your network security, the locks you put on your own doors. Our software will never violate that perimeter or work around it, and it holds almost none of your information to begin with. But installing our software is not hiring a security service, and we will never pretend it is. That part stays in your hands — as it should, because it is your house.

What’s in the capsule

For the Office

TimeCapsule TimeCare emblem — an engraved crest in brass and amber on deep charcoal: two hands holding up a home, inside it a clock, gears, and a keeper holding an hourglass, with steel-blue accents on the clock face and the hourglass sand

TimeCapsule TimeCare

Built for the people who care for people.

Workforce management for round-the-clock residential caregiving — a digital time clock, mileage tracking, and scheduling that only assigns staff where they’re trained and authorized. Designed by someone who does the work, for the small agencies the big software forgot. TimeCare is the exception to our buy-it-once rule: it runs on a subscription that covers the constant maintenance and tech support a live service needs — work a one-time price can’t pay for. The software still lives on the agency’s own computers, and their data stays on their hardware.

In development
TimeCapsule TimeBook emblem — an engraved round brass clock ring with Roman numerals around the rim, holding an old-school brick office building with stone steps up to its door, and the keeper holding an open ledger, in gold and amber with steel-blue accents on deep charcoal

TimeCapsule TimeBook

The old time book, brought back.

Employers used to keep a time book: hours in, hours out, what each hand was owed — all of it written down in one honest volume. TimeBook is that book, reborn as software, for the regular small businesses out there — the mom-and-pop office, the shop, the little crew with a paper time-card rack by the door. Run your people’s time in one place. TimeBook keeps your employee registry, builds the schedule, and includes the Chronos software — it turns your own tablet into a time clock, locked in kiosk mode, with a web app version for iPads — as part of the product. When the pay period closes, payroll prep gathers the hours from the time cards and prepares everything you need to hand your accountant. No more counting cards by hand. No more figuring pay the hard way. Your hours and your wages, kept the way they always should have been. Running more than one location? TimeBook keeps every shop, site, and crew in the same book — one office and three people, or five storefronts and two dozen. Like TimeCare, TimeBook runs on a subscription that covers the constant maintenance and tech support a live service needs — work a one-time price can’t pay for. The software still lives on your own computers, and your data stays on your hardware.

In development
TimeCapsule Chronos emblem — an engraved crest in brass and amber on deep charcoal: the keeper tapping a wall-mounted tablet that shows a glowing time clock face and a digital readout, a small wall clock above, inside a plain brass ring

TimeCapsule Chronos

The time card and mileage log program.

Chronos is software, not hardware: it turns your own Android tablet into a time clock — clock in, clock out, and it keeps the time cards and the mileage log. It runs in kiosk mode, so the tablet stays locked to the time clock — the tablet on the wall is a time clock and nothing else. We sell the software, never the tablet; no tablet is included. Running an iPad instead? There’s a web app version for Apple devices, too. It connects to the TimeCapsule TimeCare app, the scheduling app, or the main server.

TimeCapsule MediaForge

Your media. Your way. For a lifetime.

TimeCapsule Story Forge

Literature, Reimagined.

A TimeCapsule Studios production tool that turns books into full-cast radio theater in the classic style — an announcer to open the show, a named cast of voices playing every part, sound effects and music woven through it all — the golden-age radio drama, rebuilt for your own shelves. It works two ways. Take the books in your own collection — the ones gathering dust, the ones you’ve meant to read again for years — and hear them in a brand new way, performed by Story Forge as full-cast radio theater. Or stay tuned for the productions we make ourselves: finished shows from TimeCapsule Studios, ready to listen to the moment they land. Your library, performed — or ours, delivered. Buy it once — and it’s yours for good.

TimeCapsule ClearSpace

Clean house — without the junk moving in.

A disc cleanup and organization tool that does the job the old cleaners used to be loved for — finding clutter, duplicates, and wasted space across your drives, and tidying it all away. And it does it the TimeCapsule way: nothing gets deleted until it’s proven an exact duplicate, an original is never touched until its replacement checks out, and nothing extra rides along — no bundled junk, no background nagging, no surprises hiding in the installer. Buy it once, and the space it gives back is yours for good.

Arriving very soon
