Keep important information together, so it is easier to find when you need it. Forethought helps you organize documents, account details, contacts and helpful notes for yourself or someone you care for. Each person's information has its own place in the app, called a vault. ORGANIZE FOR YOURSELF OR A PARENT Keep your own information in one vault and a parent's information in another. Add a document, a contact or a note about an account. You can start with a few details and add more at your own pace. START WITH A FREE BASIC ACCOUNT A Basic account lets you organize information for yourself or a parent at no cost. Your information is automatically saved online with encryption to help protect it. Basic also includes VaultKeepers and 100 MB of storage for documents and photos. HELP LOVED ONES FIND WHAT THEY NEED Choose trusted people, called VaultKeepers, who can request access to a saved report of the information in your vault after your death. Forethought's unlock process determines when that report becomes available. Both Basic accounts and Premium subscriptions include VaultKeepers. SHARE INFORMATION WITH PEOPLE YOU TRUST With a paid Premium subscription, you can invite other Forethought users to a vault. You decide whether each person can only view the information or also help update it. People you invite can use a free Basic account. This lets you share information during everyday life, separately from the VaultKeeper process. KEEP PERSONAL VIDEOS ALONGSIDE YOUR INFORMATION Premium also lets you add personal videos and gives you 1 GB of storage in total for documents, photos and videos. You need to sign in and have an internet connection to save information online or share it. The app shows the price and terms of a Premium subscription before you purchase it.
