Digital Afterlife

The accounts people leave behind

Two free tools. One for sorting out your own digital life, one for anyone doing it on behalf of someone who has died.

Most people have far more online accounts than they could list from memory, and none of them close themselves.

🔒 Both tools run entirely in your browser. No account, no cost, nothing sent anywhere.
Planning ahead, for yourself

Trace: Plan Ahead

Write down what you have online, what you want done with it, and where the keys are kept.

  • Build a list of your accounts, with prompts for the ones people forget
  • Switch on the legacy settings already built into Google, Apple and Facebook
  • Record your wishes in your own words
  • Print a plan to keep with your will

After a death, for executors

Trace

Work backwards from an email address to find accounts nobody knew existed.

  • Pre-written inbox searches for Gmail, Outlook and others
  • Breach records, saved browser logins and connected apps
  • Bank statements for the subscriptions still charging
  • Track what you find and export the list

Where are the keys kept, and who knows? For most families, that matters more than the passwords themselves. Some people keep a notebook in a drawer. Others use a password manager with an emergency contact. Both tools record where access can be found, and leave the passwords with you.
