You've been on Basecamp for years. Threads, decisions, revisions, briefs that became deliverables, deliverables that became client relationships. Years of work. Years of thinking. All in one place, inside one account, inside one tool.
A five-year-old Basecamp thread isn't noise. It's the moment a partnership pivoted. The exact wording a client used to describe what they wanted.
The audit trail behind a deliverable a client asks about, two years later. The internal debate that became your firm's playbook. The first email from a client who's now your biggest account.
For an agency, this isn't a metaphor. The history of how you've delivered isn't a record of what you did: it's a record of who you are. Not the brand. Not the deck. The work itself.
Most agencies don't think about long-term ownership of project work, until a moment forces them to. Three patterns we hear in conversations.
You open Basecamp. The history is there: scattered across threads, attachments, and to-dos. There's no clean way to assemble the answer in a form a client (or their lawyer) can actually read.
Compliance · Client audit · Contract reviewYou split into two organizations. You spin off a vertical. You part ways with a co-founder who takes a book of business. You want to move years of project history between Basecamp organizations. That's a different job from day-to-day project work.
Spin-off · M&A · Co-founder exit · RebrandSuddenly your decade of project work depends on what happens next at a company that isn't yours. None of these scenarios are urgent today. None of them are improbable, either.
Vendor change · Platform shift · Long-tail risk
None of these are urgent.
None of these are improbable.
Same work. Two layers. Both yours.
It backs up your projects. It keeps your history navigable long after a project closes. It lets you move data between Basecamp organizations when you need to. Built for the work that matters years from now.
OAuth in 30 seconds. Pick the accounts you want protected. No engineering required: just an authorized session and you're set.
AirCapsule will read the projects you choose. You can revoke access at any time.
Within minutes, every project lands in your archive: todos, messages, documents, schedules, attachments. Verifiable on your own. Restorable on your own.
Your history isn't a static export. It's a navigable archive layer: revisit any point in time, find the message that shifted a decision, walk the timeline of how a client engagement unfolded.

Move an entire project: todos, messages, documents, schedules, comments, attachments, from one Basecamp organization to another.
No fake logos. No fabricated testimonials. No enterprise theater. Three quiet promises we hold ourselves to.
Every backup produces a checksum you can validate yourself. Your archive is restorable without us. No vendor lock-in dressed up as a feature.
Verify on your ownYour data stays accessible: through pricing changes, ownership changes, integration changes. The point of an archive is that it outlives the conditions of its creation.
Access without dependencyMove projects between Basecamp organizations today. Export JSON / ZIP when it ships. Your archive should be portable by design, not held hostage by us either.

AirCapsule is the long-term archive layer for Basecamp. It backs up your Basecamp projects daily, gives you a navigable archive (the History Machine), and lets you move data between Basecamp organizations when you need to. Same work. Two layers. Both yours.
AirCapsule connects to Basecamp via the official OAuth integration on basecamp.com. If you sign in to Basecamp through basecamp.com today, AirCapsule works with your account: including Basecamp 5, the latest version recently released by 37signals. We don't currently support Basecamp Classic (the legacy 2014 version).
AirCapsule connects to Basecamp via OAuth; we never see your password. Once authenticated, daily automated backups run on the projects you select: todos, messages, documents, schedules, attachments. All data is stored on EU-resident infrastructure, GDPR-compatible by default.
Cross-organization migration moves an entire Basecamp project: todos, messages, documents, schedules, comments, attachments, from one Basecamp organization to another. Use it when your agency restructures, when a senior consultant carries a book of business to a new org, or when a client asks to receive their data in a new account.
Your archive is preserved. If you cancel a paid plan, your account drops to Free: you keep 2 of your projects with on-demand backup and 14 days of History Machine. You don't lose what you've already backed up; you just have fewer features going forward. You can re-subscribe anytime.
On Agency, your history stays fully navigable in-app for a year. Beyond that, we preserve a second year as a cold archive: still yours, retrievable on request. Studio keeps three months navigable, Free keeps the last 14 days. Need longer? Talk to us.
You do. Always. Your archive is yours; we're the custodian, not the owner. Cancel anytime and your account drops to Free with your archive preserved. Cross-organization migration is included in the Agency plan, so you can move your data into any Basecamp account whenever you want. Export to portable formats (JSON / ZIP) is on the roadmap. No vendor lock-in dressed up as a feature.
