Planning ahead
The best part of planning ahead is you.
Wills and accounts take care of what you own. Your stories, your values and the reasons behind your choices are worth passing on too, and you are the only one who can tell them.
Start with what you already know
You do not need to be a writer or have it all figured out. ToldForward asks one friendly question a day about your life, your views and the people in it. Answer in a few sentences, skip any question you like, and come back whenever it suits you.
Let it grow as you do
Every answer is dated, and you can add to it or change it at any time. Over the years your record becomes a picture of how you thought at each stage of your life, something no one else could ever write for you.
Private now, shared when you choose
While you are living, your record is yours alone. Nothing is public or searchable. You choose the people who will one day receive it, and you can change your mind whenever you like.
Speak instead of type
If typing is not your favorite thing, use your phone's or computer's own dictation. Your words go into your record exactly as you said them.
Your thoughts are worth keeping.
There is only one you, and the way you see the world today is part of a story the people you love will treasure. It all starts with one question.
