I wish I could say this to you in person. I know exactly the face you're making right now, so stop it. Be kind to yourself. Laugh often. I am so proud of the woman you've become.

All my love, Mom

Simple to set up. Sent by email.

Do it in one sitting or a little at a time. Your messages stay private until they're emailed to the people you chose.

  1. Write or record

    Write a message, record a video, or both. Say the things that are hard to say out loud.

  2. Choose who gets each one

    Every message goes to the person you pick, so each one gets words meant just for them.

  3. Name someone you trust

    They get a private link to let us know you've passed. Nobody else can.

Not sure where to start?

Most people begin with one person and one moment. Here are a few ideas.

  • The advice you'd want your children to haveWritten
  • A bedtime story for grandchildrenVideo
  • The recipe nobody ever wrote downWritten or video
  • A thank-you to an old friendWritten
  • Just "I love you", in your own voiceVideo
Your messages stay private until someone you trust says it's time.

You choose a trusted contact. It could be a partner, a sibling or a close friend.

You get 48 hours to cancel. The moment a report comes in, you get a notification and an email. One tap on “I'm alive” stops everything.

Then each person gets an email with your message and a private link to your video. They don't need the app or an account.

No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Sign in with Apple, no passwords required. Delete everything from the app in Settings at any time.

Questions

When are my messages sent?

Nothing goes out while you're here. When your trusted contact reports your passing, we wait 48 hours, then email each person their message and a private link to your video.

What if someone reports my passing by mistake?

You'll get a notification and an email straight away. Tap “I'm alive” in the app, on your lock screen or in the email, and everything stops.

Can I see what my people will receive?

Yes. Send a test at any time. A couple of minutes later every message arrives in your own inbox, labelled TEST, exactly as your people would see it.

Do the people I choose need the app?

No. They get an email with your message and a link to watch your video. No app or account needed.

Can I send both written messages and videos?

Yes. Each message can be written, recorded on video, or both.

Who can I send messages to?

Anyone you care about. You choose who receives each message.

How much does it cost?

Downloading, setting up, recording and sending tests are free. Turning on delivery is a one-time Lifetime purchase of $29.99. No subscription.

Leave them something to keep.
