FAQ

What is CaptureMyHippo?
CaptureMyHippo is an interactive app that lets you relive the stories that were no longer remembered and see the person that lived them, anytime, anywhere. When you become a part of the CaptureMyHippo family, you are given access to a platform that helps you recall your memories and record them. You can then save these recordings and share them with your loved ones. You can also keep them as time capsules, which will allow you to see them at a future date. You can save messages for your future self to see or create videos for your family members to view even after you are no more. The possibilities are endless.
What's with the name "CaptureMyHippo"?
The hippocampus plays a critical role in the formation, organization, and storage of memories? It is also integral in consolidating and building new memories. However, these memories fade away due to memory loss, medical conditions, or just the passage of time. So, what can we do to save these memories and capture what is going inside your hippocampus? Our team has designed an interactive platform that gives you an opportunity to video record your answer, talk about your life experiences and anecdotes, or capture an event without answering a question. Store these for your loved ones, so these memories are alive forever.
How do Profiles work? How do we use them, and why?
Profiles are designed to let you and your family members create your accounts without having to use a new email for each account. Your entire family can use a single email to create one account yet have multiple family members using it, using their profiles.
Do I have to share my videos?
No. What you would like to do with your recordings is up to you. You have four options:
  • Save and keep in your archives
  • Share it with your friends and family; you can select who you want to send it to by creating customized groups.
  • Store your videos in a time capsule to view them in the future at a set date.
  • Or delete and retake!
What makes CaptureMyHippo unique from other social media platforms?
CaptureMyHippo is unlike any other social media app you will ever use. We provide you with thought-provoking questions that will trigger your memories. You can then record your answers and choose to simply save them, share them with your loved ones, or lock them up in a virtual time capsule to view later! We want you to share raw, honest, and unfiltered parts of your life with the people who matter the most to you! You get to choose who you want to share your deepest darkest secrets, lessons you have learnt in life, or your funny experiences with.
How is CaptureMyHippo relevant for every age group to use?
CaptureMyHippo can be used by everyone, regardless of how old they are! Each of our questions is carefully designed, keeping in mind the age group answering them. Parents can record their infants’ first milestones, like their first words. Young children can pick up the phone and record their day-to-day routines, which they can watch in the future and laugh about. Teens can talk about their experiences as they transition into adulthood. They can openly talk about their struggles by answering thought-provoking questions. With the help of our questions, adults can introspect and plan out their future, keeping their past in mind. Lastly, senior adults can look back at their life and record anecdotes or any life lessons they have learnt for their future generations to see.
What inspired CaptureMyHippo?
We thought to ourselves, “What will happen when a loved one passes away?” Their memories are left with the people they interacted with but gradually drift away over time. Eventually, no one remembers their deceased loved ones; they are gone forever. So, we developed this platform to store memories for life and relive memories that were otherwise lost forever. We all would do anything to hear our grandparents’ voices and see their faces again. Now, there is no reason you cannot! Join the Hippo family now and never lose a memory again.
What is the Time Capsule feature, and why would I use it?
The time capsule feature is designed for you to record videos and memories that can only be viewed at a future date set by you. Record your memory, select the people you want to share it with and then choose a date to release your recording. You can use this feature to record messages for your future self, capture memories for your future generations to see or send pre-recorded messages to your loved ones, even after you are gone.
