You talk. EchoKindred files it for you.

EchoKindred is a private family archive for where the bank accounts are, who holds the car loan, where the will is, what has to happen first, and the stories behind it all. When the day comes, they open one link instead of every drawer.

Start free 14-day trial Doing this for a parent?

No credit card. Start with one story; the accounts can wait until you're ready.

The hardest part isn't the grief.It's the guessing.

Which bank.
Who holds the car loan.
Which lawyer, and where the will is.
Whether there’s a password for the account with the photos.

Most families spend months piecing it together after someone they love is gone. A few conversations now means your kids spend that time grieving instead.

Where to start

Start with a story. The map follows.

Tell it about your first car, the house you grew up in, how you met. Stories are the easy part, and they're what your grandkids will want someday: a sense of whose shoulders they are standing on. The Biographer asks the follow-up questions so the good parts don't get skipped.

Just talk. When the practical details come up, like “My pension's at Fidelity, and Susan at Edward Jones handles it,” EchoKindred's filing assistant (we call it the Librarian) files the account, the contact, and the note your family will need. You check where everything lands before it's saved.

Try one of its questions.

"Tell me about the first car you bought with your own money. Where did you drive it the day you got the keys?"

Talk once. Watch it file as a story and a vault note.

Private to your account

Free heir access

Where your words go: what you say or type is sent to Google's Gemini AI only to write up the story and file the details, under Google's API terms. EchoKindred never uses your stories or voice to train AI and never sells them, and nothing is filed until you check it. How AI and privacy fit together

Why this exists

Built after losing my dad.

In late 2024, the man who'd been my dad for 55 years went through a swift decline, and by June 2025 he was gone. In the middle of it, we couldn't find the email passwords, the financial details, or the songs he loved and the stories he told only once. I built EchoKindred so your family doesn't have to go through that, and I'm doing the same for my own kids. I don't want to be a mystery or a burden to them.

What your family gets

The day they need it, it's all there.

One link opens a calm, read-only page: who to call first, which accounts exist, where the will is, plus your voice and your stories. Nothing to install and nothing to learn. Free for your family, always.

They will see:

Priority contacts: who to call first, their role, and how to reach them
Document locations: will, deed, insurance policies, account statements
Account access guidance: which institutions, recovery paths, key contacts
First-week checklist: immediate actions in priority order
Personal guidance and stories: your voice, wishes, and memories

Heir access is always free.

Example: What they see

How it opens, when it's time

1
You choose who.
Name a Digital Executor and decide who sees what. Stories for one child, the accounts for another.
2
We check with you first.
If you go quiet longer than the window you set (90 days by default), we email you. One click resets it. Only then are your people notified.
3
They prove it’s them.
The printed access key you leave with your papers, plus a one-time code. Nobody gets in just because they are worried or curious.
4
They open one calm page.
Who to call first, the accounts and where the paper lives, the will and attorney, and the stories you chose to share. Free and read-only.

Security and continuity

Private by design.

What protects your family’s information today, and what we have not built yet.

Encryption

Everything you save is encrypted, both on its way to us and while it is stored, so it cannot be read if someone gets hold of the files.
Every connection uses HTTPS, and the whole archive sits on encrypted storage at our database host, Supabase.
Passwords, account and routing numbers, policy numbers, and recovery details get a second lock: each one is encrypted on its own, with keys kept on our servers and never sent to your browser.
Photos and documents live in private storage and open only through short-lived links for your signed-in account.

You own your data

Your archive belongs to you. We never sell it or use it for advertising.
Download a readable copy of your stories, instructions, accounts list, and records any time from Settings.
Passwords stay out of that file on purpose; you can reveal them inside EchoKindred.

AI privacy

When you use the Biographer or filing help, the text you are working on is sent to Google’s Gemini AI to organize it.
EchoKindred does not train AI models on your archive.
Your own words are kept on record next to anything the AI cleans up.

Where it lives

Your archive is stored in managed Postgres and private file storage in a US data center (AWS, US West).
The copy you download is a backup no company can take away from you.

What happens if EchoKindred disappears?

If something happens to you

The people you name get read-only access only after the check-in steps you set: if you go quiet, we check with you first, then notify them and confirm who they are. They never need a subscription to see what you left them.

If something happens to EchoKindred

No company can promise to last forever, and a bankruptcy can override promises. What we commit to: as much notice as we can give, aiming for 90 days, and keeping downloads working until the doors close. We do not have a published wind-down escrow yet.

The simplest protection is the one you control: download your copy from Settings now and then. Full details on Trust & Continuity

One more promise: we will never invent customer reviews. When families choose to share their story after a real loss, it will appear here with their permission.

Who it's for

Parents who want their kids to find everything, and adult children helping a parent get it down.

Who it's not for

Anyone who needs a will drafted or legal advice: EchoKindred records where your will is and what you want, but it is not a law firm. And it is not a password manager: we suggest recording where your passwords live, not the passwords themselves. What it is and is not

Before you decide

Try it free. Keep it only if it helps.

14 days free, no credit card. If you ever stop paying, the archive stays readable for your family, and you can download a copy whenever you like.
