Make it easier for someone you trust to find key contacts, insurance, medical details and records if you need help.

Create an organized household starting point together, then update it as your home, plans and responsibilities grow.

Bring a loved one’s important medical, insurance, contact and household details into a clearer view, with their knowledge and agreement.

Recommend a practical place for clients to organize supporting information alongside their professional planning. My Digital Data is an organizer, not legal advice or a substitute for legal documents.
Built around your life

Make readiness a simple routine
A useful plan doesn’t have to be finished in one sitting. Start with the details most likely to matter, then update them when life changes.
Because this is designed to keep records on your device, it isn’t a cloud account that requires an active subscription to retrieve them. Once installed, local records are designed to remain on that device if the internet or a hosted service is unavailable. The online demo, purchase, download and support still rely on internet access.
Keep your password and recovery information somewhere secure and separate, and decide in advance who you trust to access the information or an encrypted backup. The published FAQ cautions that password recovery may not be possible, so don’t assume support can reset it.
A current backup and a tested restore matter. No storage method can eliminate every risk.
