Heartchive (heart•kive) is a private space for end-of-life planning, anticipatory grief, and navigating loss. When everything starts to pile up, the emotions, the memories, the responsibilities, it gives you one place to hold it all. Save memories, record stories, write what you’re feeling, and keep track of everything you’re carrying. FOR GRIEF AND CAREGIVING • Choose a path for caregiving or grief • Keep practical details, memories, and reflections in one place • Support for both the logistical demands and emotional weight FOR MEMORIES AND CONTINUING BONDS • Create a private archive for your person • Save photos and videos • Write or record stories, memories, and details you want to keep • If they are still here, use gentle prompts to ask meaningful questions and save their answers over time FOR WORDS AND FEELINGS • Explore a library of prompts for the many layers of grief • Write what is on your mind, even if it is unfinished • Check in with yourself in whatever way feels natural • Save your entries to return to over time FOR THE PRACTICAL REALITIES • Browse task lists based on your relationship, so you do not have to start from scratch • Set reminders, store documents, and keep important details in one place • Share tasks with someone you trust when support is needed PRIVATE AND YOURS • End-to-end encrypted • Your entries stay private and secure • No feeds. No comparisons. No pressure to share BUILT FOR DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOSS • No two losses are the same • Create a separate space for each person you are grieving or caring for A PLACE TO KEEP WHAT MATTERS • Add to it over time • Come back whenever you want to remember, revisit, or reflect Heartchive does not provide medical, therapeutic, or crisis services.
