Afterward

How it works

Three quiet sessions.
The binder grows with you.

Not a setup wizard. A series of short, considered sittings — done at the kitchen table, not under a deadline. The first one takes about five minutes.

Free to start. No card. Export everything anytime.

The three sessions

What you actually do, sitting by sitting.

Each one stops well before it gets heavy. You can leave the binder open in a tab and come back when the kettle’s done.

  1. Session 01

    Start with what’s already in your head.

    The first sitting is small on purpose. You aren’t writing a will. You are answering questions you already know the answers to.

    • 01

      Who would you call first?

      Two or three names. The neighbour with the spare key. The cousin who handles paperwork. Afterward asks for a phone number and how the person knows you. Nothing more.

    • 02

      Where does the household live?

      Mortgage or landlord. Utility accounts. The car. Each one is one line — the institution, the kind of account, where to find the latest statement. You can leave anything blank and come back.

    • 03

      What would they need in the next 72 hours?

      Three quiet checkboxes — a phone passcode, the primary email, the password manager. These are the only sealed envelopes. We’ll address them by name in the next session.

    About five minutes

  2. Session 02

    Seal what only you should know.

    The three things above get addressed to the person you choose. Once sealed, they leave your device sealed and only the named person can ever open them.

    • 01

      Choose the person, by name.

      For most people, this is the same person across all three envelopes — a partner, an adult child, a sibling. You can choose differently for each if it makes sense.

    • 02

      Address each envelope.

      Type the passcode, the password, the master phrase. The page seals each one in front of you and shows you the name on the outside. From then on, even we cannot read it.

    • 03

      Take it back any time.

      Change your mind, change the recipient, change the contents. The envelope is yours until the day someone else needs it.

    A quiet ten minutes

  3. Session 03

    Hand it to whoever needs it.

    Until you decide otherwise, no one sees the binder. The handoff is a single, considered moment — and it is reversible.

    • 01

      Generate a quiet link.

      Afterward creates a one-recipient link addressed to a single person. They open it in any browser, on any device. They do not install anything. They do not sign up.

    • 02

      They see it organised by time, not category.

      The first 72 hours sit at the top. Week one. Month one. Year one. They scroll the way they would actually read it — by what is needed next, not by what kind of document it is.

    • 03

      You can revoke the link at any time.

      A single tap retracts access. The sealed envelopes stay sealed unless the named person opens them. Nothing is one-way.

    A few minutes, the day you decide

The sealed envelopes

Three envelopes, addressed by name.

Not your password vault. The category is older than that — the keys to the keys. Three quiet items that, between them, unlock everything else.

  • Sealed for Mira

    Phone passcode

    The six digits that unlock the phone the family already knows is yours. Without it, the photos, the messages, and the two-factor codes are unreachable.

  • Sealed for Mira

    Primary email

    The login most other accounts forward to. It is the keyring that holds every other key, even the ones you forgot you had.

  • Sealed for Mira

    Password manager

    The one master phrase. From here, your trusted person can reach the bank, the utilities, the household — without ever needing the rest from you.

Three is the number on purpose. Anything more starts to look like a vault, and vaults are someone else’s product.

The handoff

What the person you named actually sees.

The link arrives in a quiet email. They open it and the binder is already there — no app, no account, no setup.

  • 01

    Organised by time, not by category. The first 72 hours sit at the top. Slow paperwork waits below until they have the bandwidth.

  • 02

    Sealed envelopes only the named person can open. The phone passcode, the email, the master phrase — addressed by name on the outside.

  • 03

    A single link, revocable in a tap. If you change your mind, the door closes. Nothing about this is one-way.

The courtesy interval

We don’t release the binder until we’re sure you can’t reach for it yourself.

A long, considerate pause built into the product. You can tune it longer. You cannot make it shorter than this.

  1. Day 60

    A quiet check-in.

    If you stop opening Afterward, we send a single short note asking if anything has changed. Not a marketing email. A courtesy.

  2. Day 67

    Seven days, your call.

    If we still haven’t heard from you, the people you named can ask to read what you left them. You have a full week to say no.

  3. After

    They reach for it, gently.

    The link opens for the person addressed on it. The sealed envelopes stay sealed unless they choose to open them.

Once a year

One quiet email, on the same week each year.

Afterward asks once a year whether anything has changed — a new account, a moved address, a different person you’d want named. The annual review is the only proactive note we send you about your binder.

Most years it takes a few minutes. Some years you skip it. Either is fine. The binder is yours; the review is a courtesy.

Export anytime

Your binder, your data. It leaves with you.

On every plan, including the free one, you can export the entire binder in two forms: a printable PDF that reads end to end, and a portable archive of the underlying data in plain, documented formats.

No vendor lock-in. No "premium-only" data. The day you decide we are not for you, you walk out with everything legible without us.

Begin when ready

Five minutes today. The binder ready when it matters.

Free to start. No card. The first session is short on purpose.
