What does «My last words» do? We offer the service to record secret and encrypted last words for posterity. Our service constantly checks if you're still alive via push-messages and e-mail. If you repeatedly do not answer our calls, your last words will eventually be sent to registered friends and relatives. Is this a «testament» or «last will»? It kind of is of course. But it is not recognized by law (yet). We strongly advice not to talk about what happens to your wealth and belongings. We focus on the emotional part of such last words. What is currently the last thing you want to tell your friends? How do you want your friends and family to say goodbye? How and where do you want to be buried? Who knows, maybe they will show your video or text at the funeral. Maybe you just want to share your Facebook- or Twitter-Password so they inform the online community about your early demise. How does this work exactly? It's very easy! You just register and login. Then you'll write your text or record a video message. You can always change the text. To make sure nobody hacks your account and just changes your last words to something they want, we keep versions of every change. Nobody (including you) can change or delete «old versions» of your last words. Logged in you just push the green button to tell us you're still alive. You'll see a countdown below. As soon as it changes to zero, your last words will be sent to the registered recipients.

There are things you mean to say and never do. Will makes sure they get said anyway. Write a message to the people who matter. Choose who receives it. Then get on with your life. Once a month, Will asks you to confirm you're still here — one tap. If you ever stop answering, your messages are delivered to the people you chose. That's the whole idea. No feed, no social network, no subscription required. HOW IT WORKS 1. WRITE A letter to your daughter for the day she turns eighteen. Where the will is kept and what the passwords are. The apology you never managed out loud. Write as many as you like. 2. CHECK IN Once a month we ask whether you're still alive. Answer in the app, from a push notification, or by tapping a link in an email. It takes a second. 3. DELIVERED Miss six check-ins in a row and Will sends each message to its recipients. Not a day before. WHAT'S INSIDE • Unlimited messages, free forever • Separate recipients for every message — nobody sees what was meant for someone else • A countdown showing exactly where you stand • Optional notice telling your recipients something is waiting, without revealing what it says • Push and email reminders, so you never miss a check-in by accident • Eight languages • Delete your account and everything is erased, permanently WILL+ — THE LIFE GRID Your whole life as a single grid: ninety years, one dot per week. Fill the weeks that mattered with photos, video and voice recordings — 50 GB of them — and they are handed to your people after you're gone, together with your messages. Choose who sees what: everyone, or only the people and groups you pick. Everything is kept for your heirs for ten years after release, and they don't need an account to open it. Text memories are free. Will+ adds the photos, video and voice. PRIVACY Your messages are readable by you and nobody else until the day they are released. We don't sell data and we don't show ads. Delete your account at any time and all of it disappears with it. Will is free. Will+ is optional.
