A map, not a vault — you never copy a password into it. Your family learns where everything is, never the keys themselves.
“The most immediate issue I had after the accident was that I didn't have the password to my husband's phone.”
— Chanel Reynolds, widowed at 41 · read her story

Guided, large-print pages: phone & device codes · the password-manager master key · email, photos & memories · every bank, bill and policy · where your documents are · your wishes for care and goodbye · a letter to the people you love · and the "first 2 weeks: who to call" checklist for your family.
One printed, coil-bound book, mailed to your door — the expanded planner with "What to Do When Someone Dies" bound right in, so the step-by-step guide your family follows on the day lives in the same book as everything else. It lies flat when open, large-print, made to be kept in a drawer for years. You also get the full digital copy the minute you order, so nothing waits on the mail.
That's exactly what it's built for. Plain language, large print, and a fill-in-the-blank layout — no legal jargon and no guesswork. It even lists who they should call, and in what order, so the people you love aren't left figuring it out alone.
Not for the Keepsake — it arrives professionally printed and coil-bound, ready to fill in by hand. Your digital copy also lands by email the minute you order, so you can start tonight while the book is on its way. Prefer to print it yourself? The Digital Planner is right there for $32.
Take a full year. If at any point it isn't the most reassuring $59 you've spent, email us for a full refund and keep the book. Payment is handled by Stripe, so your card details are entered in Stripe's own secure fields and never touch this site.
For the one who handles everything
The phone that wouldn't open. The account nobody knew about. The weeks on hold while you were grieving. If you were the one who handled it, you know: it can only be fixed beforehand. This is the beforehand.
When we lose someone, we don't get to just grieve. We get handed the aftermath — the phone with a passcode nobody has, the email account where every bill lives.
The insurance policy you find out about two months too late. Hold music, week after week, with companies that won't talk to you — when all you want is one quiet hour to miss them.
It usually starts here: a phone that will never unlock again.
And the part that breaks people isn't the money. It's the photos. Years of a life behind a six-digit code no one else knows — right there, and unreachable.
Here's the quiet problem with a file: a PDF lives behind the very same screen-lock, cloud login and dead battery that started this whole mess. The people you love could end up locked out of the one thing meant to unlock everything else.
So we mail you a real book. It sits in a drawer with your passport and your birth certificate — no password, no battery, no account to recover. Anyone you trust can pick it up and open it, which is the entire point.
That's why the family that finds a binder in the drawer has a completely different first month than the family that finds a phone they can't open. You still get the full digital copy the minute you order — but the book is the part your family will be glad you kept.
If that was your family, you weren't the exception. You were the rule.
1 Caring.com 2025 Wills & Estate Planning Survey. 2 Apple Support — “Request access to a deceased family member's Apple Account.”
I'm Daniel — not a law firm, not a funeral company. I'm one person who kept hearing the same story, over and over — from forums, from friends, from families I know: someone dies, or lands in the hospital, and the people who love them are suddenly locked out of everything. The phone. The photos. The accounts.
What stayed with me is how preventable it all was. Every one of those families was one filled-in document away from a completely different first month. So I built the simplest possible way to put everything in one place before it's ever needed. If it gives your family one less thing to panic about, it did its job.
— Daniel (I read and answer every email myself)
When the worst happens, the people you love run into three locked doors — and the things families count on don't open them.
Phone and device codes, email, photos, subscriptions, two-factor logins. A death certificate doesn't unlock an iPhone.
Every bank, bill, card and debt — and the policy nobody knew existed. If it isn't written down, it's a scavenger hunt.
What you'd want for your care, your goodbye, and who should be called first — the questions no one can answer for you.

*If your family knows it exists — and where the master key is. A will proves who owns things; it doesn't open a single door. This planner exists to open all three.
One quiet afternoon.
Every door open.
No one locked out.
In Case Anything Happens gathers everything your family would need — every password, account, document, and wish — into one place they can actually find. Fill it in by hand. Keep it somewhere safe. Tell one person where it is.
One quiet morning, a pen, and it's done — the most organized, loving thing you can do for them.
Your full digital copy arrives by email the minute you order — you can start filling it in right away.
We print it, coil-bind it, and ship the Keepsake to your door — no printer, no trip to the copy shop.
One calm section at a time. The “three that matter most” page takes about 15 minutes.
Most people start with an empty notebook and give up. This isn't that — every page is a guided form that walks you through one calm section at a time.
Real pages from the planner — structured prompts, not blank lines.
Across every fill-in page, it opens all three doors:
The photos & memories page — so the pictures behind the passcode are never lost with you.
It even tells your family exactly who to call, and in what order.
It took Rachel Thompson three years and a court order before Apple let her reach the thousands of family photos and videos on her late husband's account — even though she was the legal executor of his entire estate.
— Thompson v Apple, 2019 · the case, reported by the chambers that argued it
“Having a few more things taken care of in advance would have turned the noise level down.”
— Chanel Reynolds, on the weeks after her husband's death · The Helm interview
This is a book you keep in your home — you fill it in by hand and store it wherever you keep your passport or birth certificate. Nothing you write is uploaded, stored, or seen by us — or anyone else. (The same is true of the digital copy: it's yours to download and keep.)
That's what it's built for. Plain language, large print — and it even lists who they should call, in what order. No legal jargon, no guesswork.
You don't need one. The Keepsake arrives professionally printed and coil-bound, ready to fill in. Your digital copy still lands by email the minute you order (check spam!) so you can start tonight. Prefer to print it yourself? The $32 digital planner opens on any device and a print shop runs the whole thing for a few dollars.
It's the opposite. Almost everyone expects to feel sad filling it in — and instead feels relieved. You're not planning to die. You're making sure the people you love are looked after, no matter what.
Everyone says that — and "later" is exactly how families end up locked out. It takes one quiet afternoon, and your guarantee runs a full year, so there is no clock on you.
The Keepsake — printed, coil-bound, and mailed to your door.
