Our Story
I was 53. No warning signs. One moment I was fine, the next I knew something was very wrong.
I survived. But lying in that hospital bed, one thought kept circling:
"She wouldn't know where anything is."
Ten years together. A decade of photos — scattered across hard drives, cloud services, old phones.
The login for all the household accounts. The passwords. The backup drive with an encryption key I'd written down somewhere.
Ten years of shared life, and none of it would have been findable. Not because I didn't care, but because I'd never made it findable.
The Research
In 2025, UK researchers surveyed 1,766 adults about their digital legacy. What they found was striking:
of UK residents with wills include anything about their digital life
have never used platform legacy tools like Facebook Legacy Contact
of solicitors routinely ask about digital assets
"People care deeply about their digital legacy. They just don't do anything about it."
— The Posthumous Privacy Paradox
"The problem isn't that people don't care. It's that the solutions don't fit how people actually live."
We don't sit down one afternoon and neatly organise our entire digital existence. We accumulate. Photos pile up. Passwords multiply. Important documents get saved in folders we forget about.
And the thought of sorting through all of it feels overwhelming — especially when it forces us to confront our own mortality.
So we put it off. We assume we'll have time later.
And then, sometimes, we don't.
The Solution
We built Timeless to solve the problem we actually had.
Not everything — the things you choose. The photos, documents, videos, and messages you want to preserve. Curated, not just archived.
Create private spaces for different people. Your partner gets one key. Your family another. Each person sees only what you've chosen for them.
When you share access, it doesn't expire in 30 days. A key you give someone today will still work in fifty years. That's not a bug — it's the point.
Your vault is encrypted with keys only you hold. We can't see your content. We can't hand it over to anyone, even if asked.
A single public page — your story, in your words. When you're gone, it freezes exactly as you left it. What you wrote is what remains.
We've worked hard to make this feel like life, not death. You're not filling out a form for a funeral home. You're creating something for the people you love.
I'm not dying. At least, not any faster than the rest of us. I recovered, I changed some things about how I live, and I expect to be here for a long time.
But I no longer assume I'll have time to sort everything out "later." I've seen what happens when later doesn't come.
Timeless isn't about preparing for death.
It's about making sure the life you've lived — the photos, the stories, the things that matter — can actually reach the people who should have them.
It's about not leaving your partner staring at a locked hard drive, trying passwords, wondering what's lost forever.
It's about the people who matter being able to hear your voice, see your face, read your words — whenever they need to.
It's about taking an afternoon, once, to make the next fifty years simpler for everyone you love.
Timeless is free to start. Create your legacy page, store your most important memories, and share them with the people who matter.
No commitment. No complexity. Just a place for the things you don't want to lose.
