Grief cannot be fixed. It can only be carried. Heartchive (heart•kive) is a private space for grieving hearts. Whether you’re caring for someone you love, or grieving someone you’ve lost. It isn’t here to fix your grief or tell you how to move through it. It’s a place to put everything you’re already carrying. The memories you don’t want to lose. The thoughts you can’t always say out loud. The tasks that show up alongside the heartbreak. Because love, loss, and responsibility rarely show up one at a time. They arrive tangled together. SIMPLE TO USE, EASY TO RETURN TO • Clean, calm design that doesn’t overwhelm • Separate spaces for Memories, Words, and Tasks • Flexible journaling—write as much or as little as you want • Guided prompts when you don’t know what to say FOR CONTINUED BONDS • Create a digital archive for your person • Write down stories and small details • Save photos, videos, and voice recordings • If they’re still here, capture their story. Ask the questions that matter, and record their answer FOR THE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT • Explore a library of prompts for every corner of grief. The light, the shadow, and the in between • Write letters you will never send • Check in with your body • Browse a curated collection of quotes and poems about grief • Everything you write is saved to your Heartchives, your personal timeline of entries FOR THE PRACTICAL REALITIES • Browse curated task lists based on your relationship so you are not starting from scratch • Use a simple task queue to set reminders, store documents, and stay organized • Share tasks with someone you trust when help is needed PRIVATE AND YOURS • End to end encrypted • Your entries are 100% private and secure • No feeds. No comparing your grief to someone else’s BUILT FOR EVERY LOSS • Grief looks different for every loss and every relationship • If you are carrying more than one loss, create a separate profile for each relationship AN ARCHIVE FOR YOUR HEART • A steady place to keep what matters • Something you can add to • Something you can return to—days, months, or years later Heartchive does not provide medical, therapeutic, or crisis services. It is a personal organization and reflection tool.
