Public beta: everything is free, and delivery is fully active. As an added beta safeguard, every steward-confirmed release receives a final internal review and approval before anything is delivered.

Say it now

If today was your last day, who is one person you know would need to hear your voice tomorrow and what would you want to say to comfort them?

Write it, or say it out loud. We keep it safe and deliver it to them when your time comes.

Nothing you write here leaves this device until you choose to keep it.

Three generations of a family together at home, smiling

“Kept safe until the day it is needed.”

How it works

Three steps, and a promise we keep.

i

Write your messages

Written messages, voice recordings, and video for each person you love, guided by gentle prompts that help you find the words.

ii

Choose your stewards

Name the trusted people who will one day confirm your passing, together, never alone, never by a single click.

iii

Delivered with certainty

When the time comes, and only when we are sure, your words reach them gently, at the pace they can bear.

Built on trust

Wrongful delivery, made near-impossible.

Others rely on one person clicking one button. We layer four independent safeguards between a false signal and your words ever being sent.

A trusted circle confirms together

Several must independently confirm before anything moves.

Regular check-ins

A quiet, automatic safeguard that escalates on its own.

Record checks

Objective corroboration, not a single word taken on faith.

A reversible hold

A grace period with a final alert, so a mistake can be undone.

Losing my husband was like losing half of me. What I would give to hear his voice and guidance right now in my life.

More than a message

Care at the moment it is needed.

Beyond your words, we quietly connect the people you love to what helps: estate planning while you prepare, and real support in grief.

Plan ahead

Estate and will partners, for those getting their affairs in order.

Grief support

Compassionate help alongside, with a crisis lifeline always first.
