Digital legacy: start with a clear inventory

Accounts, files, messages and instructions could matter to someone else. A small inventory is a useful beginning.

Start with ordinary questions

Where are the family photographs? Which subscriptions need attention? Where are your project instructions? You do not need to list everything in one sitting. Begin with three categories and add detail when a real need appears.

Give every entry a purpose

Write a short description, where the information lives and who should know about it. Separate closing an account from preserving a file. Some information should stay private; including it in an inventory does not mean sharing it with everyone you trust.

Connect notes to access routes

Review the services' own planning options. Keep an independent copy of your notes and tell your trusted person how to locate it. Revisit the inventory when contacts, accounts or wishes change. The practical checklist and provider comparison help organize the next session.

A small next step

Choose three things worth organizing.
Write what each entry is for.
Decide who should receive instructions.
Keep another copy and arrange a review.

Where Digital Keep fits

Digital Keep's invitation-only beta lets you try private notes, documents and explicit read-only sharing with fictional information. Adding a person does not grant access; you choose sharing separately. Automatic death verification and inheritance delivery are not active. Digital Keep does not replace provider tools or legal advice.

Do not upload passwords, seed phrases, bank credentials or irreplaceable data during the beta. Read the security boundaries and keep independent copies.
