Say exactly what you mean.
Leave nothing to chance.
Epilogue is a private desktop app that lets you document everything your family will need — on your terms, stored only on your device.
Most people leave a mess. Not because they didn’t care.
Families spend months untangling accounts, passwords, and assets nobody knew about.
Funeral wishes get overridden by whoever speaks loudest in the room.
Personal messages, photos, and videos get lost or never shared the way you intended.

In their words
Quiet relief, written down.
(Placeholder testimonials — TODO before launch)
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Setting this up gave me a kind of quiet I didn't expect.”
“Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore. I finally wrote down the things I'd been meaning to say for years.”
“Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation. Knowing my family won't have to guess is worth far more than $50.”
Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Everything you enter is encrypted with AES-256 and stored only on your own device. There's no cloud server holding your information, and nothing is ever transmitted to us.
What happens if I lose my passphrase?
Because Epilogue is private by design, we never see your passphrase and can't reset it. If it's lost, the vault can't be opened. We strongly recommend keeping your passphrase somewhere safe — and sharing access through your Break the Glass key with people you trust.
What is the Break the Glass key?
It's a secure way for the people you trust to open your vault when the time comes. You set it up once and share it with whoever should have access — so your family can reach everything you prepared, exactly when they need it.
Does Epilogue work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. Epilogue runs as a native desktop app on both macOS and Windows. Your one-time purchase covers both.
Is this a subscription?
No. Epilogue is a single $50 purchase. No recurring fees, no upsells. You own it, and updates are free for life.
Is this a legal will?
No. Epilogue helps you document your wishes, assets, messages, and instructions so nothing is lost or left to guesswork. It's a companion to a legal will, not a replacement. For legally binding documents, consult an attorney.
What if I want a refund?
If Epilogue isn't right for you, reach out within 30 days of purchase and we'll make it right. We want this to genuinely help — not to sit unused.
How do I share it with my family?
You share your Break the Glass key with the people you trust. They use it to open your vault, where they'll find everything you prepared — accounts, wishes, messages, and more.
