The Just-in-Case File

If something happened to you tomorrow, would they know where everything is?

Mira walks you through everything your family would need (who to call, where the papers are, which bills to pay, how to get into your phone, what you’d want), one simple question at a time. You get one beautiful, private file. Done in a weekend.

Doing it for your parents too? The Family Edition includes Mira’s “Ask Mom & Dad” interview.

You’re the one who knows.

You know which bill comes out on the 3rd. Where the car title is. The Wi-Fi password. Who the plumber is. Which drawer the passports live in. What the kids will and won’t eat.

It’s all in one place: your head.

And that works fine, right up until the day you can’t answer the phone.

Most families end up guessing at the worst possible moment.

These are real posts from people who went through it:

Real posts from public online communities, lightly trimmed

I spent months trying to find out all their … service providers … Dad had no idea and they had no filing system, just heaps of old papers stuffed around the house. Nightmare.

Real post, r/AgingParents

Cell phone locked and unrecoverable. Couldn’t even text their friends to notify them.

Real post, r/AgingParents

We were completely locked out of his world… His will is on his computer. We never found it.

Real post, r/tifu

We thought the hard part would be the legal and financial stuff. It wasn’t… We were grieving and guessing all the time… He had over 10 active subscriptions. Some of them kept charging for two months.

Real post, r/UKPersonalFinance

Nobody in these stories did anything wrong. They just never wrote it down. Almost nobody does.

You’ve meant to do this for years. Here’s why it never happens.

  • It feels morbid. So you push it to “someday”.
  • You don’t know where to start. Fifteen areas of life, all at once.
  • You bought a binder once. It’s still blank. Blank pages make you decide what to write, so you don’t.
  • You don’t know half the answers off the top of your head, so you stop.
  • Even when it’s done, nobody knows it exists. A file in a drawer nobody’s heard of helps no one.

None of that is a willpower problem. It’s a design problem. So we fixed the design.

The Ask-Don’t-Fill method

Binders hand you blank pages. Mira asks you questions.

Mira asks: Who should be called first?
1

Mira asks. You answer.

One simple question at a time, with a short “why this matters” tip and examples. “Who should be called first?” You never stare at a blank page.

The To-Find list with hints on where to look
2

Don’t know? Tap “I don’t know yet.”

It goes straight onto your To-Find list, with a hint on where to look. You keep moving. You never get stuck.

The “For my family: what to do” side of the Who You Deal With section
3

Every page writes its partner page for your family.

You fill in where things are. The file automatically adds what to do with it: who to call, what to cancel, what’s urgent and what can wait.

Print & save screen: create your family PDF

Export your family file.

A beautiful, tabbed PDF with your family’s name on the cover, a “Read Me First” page and a one-page emergency sheet.

The Hand it off checklist: print it, put it somewhere known, tell one person, give them the backup
5

Hand it off.

The last step Mira walks you through: print it, put it somewhere known, tell one person where it is, and give your encrypted backup to someone you trust. The Trusted Person letter tells them what to do first. Your answers stay private on your device, and your family still gets the map.

Try Mira’s first 3 questions.

These are the real first questions from the app. Answer them (or tap “I don’t know yet”) and watch your family’s page write itself.

Question 1 of 3

Nothing you type leaves this page. It isn’t saved or sent anywhere, and it disappears when you close the tab.

Useful tonight. Finished by Sunday.

Your First 15 Minutes

Tonight, on the sofa

  • The 3 people your family should call first
  • Health basics: medications, allergies, doctor
  • The First 24 Hours page

That alone puts you ahead of most families.

Mira’s Weekend Plan

About 5 hours, in small blocks

  1. Saturday morningThe easy wins.People, health, home, pets, kids. Coffee in hand.
  2. Saturday afternoonThe paperwork map.Where the documents are, the bills and autopays, who you deal with (never full numbers).

What’s inside

15 sections. Everything they’d need. Nothing they’d have to guess.

It pays off while you’re alive, too

The day you finish, your life gets easier.

  • Find any document in under a minute (tax time, renewals, school forms).
  • Hand the house to a sitter or a family member with one page.
  • Travel knowing everything is in one place at home.
  • Finally see every subscription and autopay on one list, and cancel the ones you forgot.
  • Stop being the household’s help desk. (“Where’s the…?” “It’s in the file.”)

Private by design

Your family’s file never leaves your device.

  • No account. No cloud. No server.Your answers are stored on your phone or computer, and nowhere else. We can’t see them, so nobody can steal them from us.
  • No raw passwords.The Password Map records where your passwords live and who can get in, never the passwords themselves.
  • Last 4 digits only.If a full account or card number slips in, the app flags it and keeps just the last 4 with one tap.
  • Encrypted backup.Save a backup file protected by your own passphrase, to move to a new phone or keep a spare copy.
  • It can’t disappear.Apps shut down (one of the best-known free planning apps closed its doors in 2024). Your file is a PDF and a backup you own.
  • Private doesn’t mean hidden.You print it and hand it off, so the people who need it can find it, and nobody else can.

Clearing your browser data deletes your file unless you’ve saved a backup. On iPhone, add it to your Home Screen so Safari keeps your data. The app reminds you.

Built in, at no extra cost

Everything else you need is part of the file.

  • Emergency one-pager + wallet cardOne page someone can grab on the way out the door, filled in automatically from your answers.
  • Digital accounts checklistWhat actually happens to email, phone, Apple, Google, Facebook, photos and subscriptions, with links to each company’s official legacy-contact tool.
  • Yearly update modeA 20-minute review, a calendar reminder, and the life changes that mean “update your file now”.
  • The Document Hunt guideFor everything on your To-Find list, where to look. So “I don’t know yet” becomes “found it”.

The Sunday-Night Guarantee

Do your First 15 Minutes. If it doesn’t feel easier than any binder or blank form you’ve tried, email us within 30 days for a full refund. Keep whatever you exported.

No forms. No questions. No hoops.

What this is NOT

  • Not a will, and not a legal document
  • Not legal, financial, tax or medical advice
  • Not a password vault: it records where passwords live, not the passwords
  • Not a subscription

Who it’s for

Made for…

  • The one who handles everything, and the partner who’d be lost without them
  • Anyone who’s untangled a parent’s affairs and promised “never again” for their own kids
  • Parents of young kids: the routines, the pickups, the favorite foods
  • People who live alone, so someone knows where to start
  • Travelers, so home is covered while you’re away
  • Pet people, because “who takes the dog?” deserves an answer
  • Adult children who want to gently help their parents do theirs (see the Family Edition at checkout)

It’s not for you if you want legal documents drafted. This organizes your life; it doesn’t replace a will or a lawyer.

FAQ

Questions, answered

I already have a will. Do I need this?

Yes, and the two work together. A will says who gets what. The Just-in-Case File tells your family how to find it: where things are, who to call, which bills to pay, how to get into your phone. Most wills don’t cover any of that.

How does my family actually get it, if it’s only on my device?

That’s the last step: you hand it off. Print the file, put it somewhere known, tell one person where it is, and give your encrypted backup to someone you trust. The Trusted Person letter tells them what to do first.

What if I lose my phone?

If you saved a backup, open it on your new phone with your passphrase. And your printed file is still in the drawer. Mira reminds you to save a backup as you go.

Does Mira read my data?

No. Mira’s questions are written in advance and run on your device. Nothing you type is sent to us or to any AI.

Is it safe? Where is my information stored?

Only on your device. There’s no account, no cloud and no server, so we never see your answers. You can save an encrypted backup file with your own passphrase.

Why no passwords?

A page of passwords is a risk if it’s lost. The Password Map records where your passwords live and who can get in, which is what your family actually needs. There are links to set up the official legacy contacts with Apple, Google and Facebook.

How long does it take?

Your First 15 Minutes gives you a useful file tonight. Mira’s plan is designed for one weekend. You can stop any time; it saves automatically.

What if I don’t know an answer?

Tap “I don’t know yet”. It goes onto your To-Find list, and the Document Hunt guide shows you where to look.

I’m not very technical. Will I manage?

If you can answer a text message, you can do this. Mira asks one question at a time, and it works on your phone or computer.

Who is Mira?

Mira is our AI guide, a character we created so this feels like a conversation instead of a form. Her questions are written in advance by people. Nothing you type is sent to an AI or to us.

Can my partner do one too?

Yes. Add the Family Edition at checkout (+$17) for files for two more people, plus the “Ask Mom & Dad” interview mode.

What happens if I change phones?

Save your encrypted backup file and open it on the new device. Your PDF is yours to keep, print or store wherever you like.

Is this a subscription?

No. $47 once. No renewals, ever.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. The Just-in-Case File is an organization tool. It doesn’t create legal documents or give legal, financial, tax or medical advice. For those, talk to a qualified professional.

What if it’s not for me?

You have 30 days. One email gets you a full refund, and you keep whatever you exported.
