End of Life Planner

End of Life Planner is a guided, five-section planning tool for recording wishes, documents, and contacts that people want their families to find when it matters. It is built for people who want their affairs organized without hiring anyone, for adult children helping a parent put a file together, and for couples who would rather do it once than leave each other guessing.

A user works through five short sections covering people and access, documents, health and care, final wishes, and digital life, saving progress as they go. Typed or spoken notes can be entered in plain language, and an assistant sorts the wording into the right fields for the user to review before anything is saved. Finished sections can be shared with chosen people immediately or released to a contact later.

End of Life Planner stores encrypted copies of documents in a vault, letting a user note where originals are kept, invite trusted people with chosen permissions, and export a PDF or an encrypted file pack that opens offline at any time. Gentle check-ins on a chosen cadence help release access to a trusted contact if the account owner stops responding.

End of Life Planner costs $79 once, with no subscription, covering the vault, sharing, exports, and future updates; the price rises once the product leaves early access. The vault holds about 2 GB of files, with room up to 5 GB, and a plan can be shared with up to 10 people. The planner is not a will and does not replace legal advice, and if the service shuts down, users get at least 90 days to export their data.
