Inactive Account Manager
You choose how long Google waits after your account goes inactive, then up to 10 people you pick can get a message from you and, if you choose, download parts of your data (for example Drive, Mail or YouTube).
Digital legacy planner
Leave a map, not your passwords.
List your accounts and devices, say what should happen to each, and say where the way in is kept. Then print a clear letter for the person who settles your estate. We never ask for a password, a PIN or a recovery code, and the site refuses anything that looks like one.
Free for 12 accounts. Keeper $1.95 a month or $19.50 a year · free during preview.
- Encrypted under your private link
- No account, no email
- Printable executor letter
No passwords inside

The rule we built around
What goes in your plan, and what never does.
Your family does not need your passwords from a website. They need to know what exists, what you want, and where to look. That is the whole plan.
Goes in
- Each account and device, by name: email, photos, banking apps, subscriptions, social media, your phone.
- What you want done: keep as a memorial, save a copy then close, close, hand over, keep paying, or stop the payments.
- Where the way in is kept: your password manager, a sealed envelope, your attorney, or the service's own legacy tool.
- Who should handle it, by first name or role. Phone numbers are written by hand on the printed letter.
Never goes in
- Passwords, PINs, passcodes and unlock codes.
- Recovery phrases and backup codes.
- Card numbers and Social Security numbers.
- Email addresses. The site checks every box you type in and refuses anything that looks like these. No check catches everything (a plain word used as a password looks like any other word), so the rule is yours too: write where a way in is kept, never the way in.
How it works
An evening of work. A letter that lasts.
- I
List what exists
Pick from 30 common services or type your own. Add your phone, computer and drives. Add the monthly cost where there is one.
- II
Decide, and say where
Choose a wish for each item and where its way in is kept. Your readiness score shows what is still missing.
- III
Print the letter
A plain letter to your executor, with blank lines for names and phone numbers in your own hand. Keep it with your will papers. Review it once a year.
Do these first
The big services already have legacy tools.
Many people never switch them on. A few minutes each, and your plan can simply say "set up".
Apple
Legacy Contact
A Legacy Contact can ask Apple for access to data in your Apple Account after you die, using the access key you give them and your death certificate. It does not include purchased movies, music, books or subscriptions, or items in iCloud Keychain (passwords, passkeys, payment details). Needs iOS 15.2, iPadOS 15.2 or macOS 12.1 or later.
Legacy contact
After your profile is memorialized, a legacy contact can write a pinned post, change the profile and cover photo, request removal of the account and, if you allowed it, download a copy of what you shared. They cannot log in, read your messages or change your friends. You can instead choose to have the account permanently deleted.

Questions
Plain answers.
Is this a will?
No. A plan here is a list and a letter of wishes. It does not replace a will, a trust or a power of attorney, and it does not give anyone legal authority. Laws on digital accounts after death differ by state: ask an estate attorney what your will should say.
Why won't it store my passwords?
Because a list of every account plus every password, held by a website, is exactly what a thief wants. Your passwords belong in a password manager or a sealed envelope. Your plan says where those are.
Who can read my plan?
Anyone who holds its private link can read and change it. If you make an executor link, anyone holding that link can read your letter (not edit anything) until you revoke it. Your plan is stored encrypted, and a database copy alone does not contain the key needed to read it. When a plan is opened, our server decrypts and processes it in memory. More about privacy.
What if I lose the link?
Your owner link cannot be recovered, and without it you cannot edit your plan. An existing executor link can still open the read-only letter. Save your owner link in your password manager, and keep a printed letter with your papers.
Does the site contact anyone when I die?
No. It sends nothing to anyone, ever. You decide who gets the printed letter or the executor link, and when.
How long is a plan kept?
A plan that neither you nor your executor opens for 1,095 days (about three years) is deleted unless it has an active paid Keeper period. This also applies during the free preview. Print a letter for your estate papers and update it when your plan changes. You can delete your plan yourself; encrypted backup copies remain for a time.
