Preparing for What Comes Next: How to Get Ready for the Say It Last Launch
A Calm Before the Click
The countdown is nearly over. After months of testing, reviewing, and refining, Say It Last is almost here.
But before the app officially launches this November, we wanted to pause—just for a moment—and explain what’s coming, what it means, and how you can prepare.
This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a conversation. About privacy, preparedness, and the quiet satisfaction of finally putting things in order.
Why Say It Last Exists
Most of us keep pieces of our lives scattered across places—passwords in a notebook, insurance in an email, a few last wishes saved in a note app. It works fine until someone else needs to find them.
That’s why Say It Last was built.
Not to replace lawyers or cloud storage, but to serve as a secure digital handoff—a way to organize what matters and ensure it’s delivered only when it’s truly needed.
The app is guided by a simple principle:
“No one should have to guess what you wanted.”
What Makes the Toggle Different
At the heart of Say It Last is the Toggle, a privacy-first activation system. It’s not a timer or a death switch—it’s a thoughtful checkpoint that protects your vault until your trusted contact needs it.
Here’s how it works:
You set your check-in frequency—for example, once every 30 days.
You’ll receive an email reminder to confirm you’re active.
If you don’t respond within your grace period, your Toggle activates, and your Trusted Contact receives secure access instructions.
No one can rush it, hack it, or “peek.” Even the Say It Last team can’t open your vault. That’s the point.
The Toggle ensures that your privacy remains intact until you decide otherwise—or until life decides for you.
Preparing Before Launch
While the app finishes final store review, now is the perfect time to think through what you’ll want to include once it’s live.
1. Choose Your Trusted Contact
Pick someone you trust completely—someone responsible, calm under pressure, and likely to outlive you.
It might be a partner, adult child, sibling, or close friend. Make sure they understand that Say It Last doesn’t give them immediate access—it gives them clarity when it’s time.
2. Organize Key Documents
Gather important items ahead of time:
Account and policy details
Insurance or mortgage info
Password hints or contact names (never raw passwords)
Letters or instructions for your executor
Any documents that would help someone close out your affairs
3. Write Your Short Notes
The app allows you to leave context—brief explanations or personal messages.
These small notes make all the difference. A sentence explaining why something matters can spare loved ones hours of confusion later.
4. Confirm Your Devices and Email
Make sure the email you’ll use for Say It Last is secure and accessible.
Your vault and toggle depend on it. Once verified, it becomes your private link to everything you store.
What Happens on Launch Day
When Say It Last goes live, users will be able to:
Create an encrypted vault.
Add a Trusted Contact through email invitation.
Set their toggle preferences.
Begin populating accounts and personal notes.
You’ll see four available plans—Legacy, Pro, Pro +, and Lifetime—each with clear descriptions and pricing. The app will walk you through setup step by step, but the most important part is your peace of mind: knowing that the information is stored securely and privately from day one.
What Happens for Your Trusted Contact
Trusted Contacts play a quiet but crucial role. They won’t see anything until the toggle activates, and when it does, they’ll receive one secure Vault Access Email.
That email contains:
A one-time link to access the vault summary
Instructions to create a personal passphrase
A one-time PDF file they can view or save securely
It’s simple, private, and non-reversible. Once that window closes, Say It Last cannot reopen or resend the data—by design.
That’s the kind of privacy we believe in.
Privacy Over Everything
Say It Last doesn’t use SMS, push notifications, or social logins.
No third-party trackers, no advertising cookies, and no back-end visibility into your vault.
Your data is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches our servers.
We don’t know your passphrase. We don’t even want to.
In an era where “data-driven” often means “data-exposed,” this is a quiet stand for a different kind of technology—one built to disappear into the background and simply do its job.
Handling the Details
The app doesn’t just help you plan for death—it helps you manage life’s practicalities:
Keeping accounts organized
Tracking policies and renewals
Storing emergency contacts
Preparing for moves, transitions, or unexpected events
Many early users are using it as a life binder—a central, encrypted space to store everything important without leaving paper trails or shared cloud folders.
It’s not about fear or morbidity; it’s about kindness. Making it easier for someone else later is one of the last acts of love we can offer.
Lessons From Early Testers
During beta testing, we heard stories from people in every stage of life:
Adult children helping aging parents organize finances.
Widows setting up their own toggles after losing a spouse.
Travelers who wanted an emergency contact system while abroad.
What they all said, in different ways, was this:
“It felt good to finally have it written down.”
Not dramatic. Not heavy. Just responsible, like packing an umbrella before it rains.
The Emotional Side of Readiness
Getting organized can stir emotions you don’t expect.
You might remember people, moments, or unfinished plans. That’s normal.
Say It Last isn’t here to make that easier—it’s here to make it safer.
You can take your time, save drafts, and update as life changes.
There’s something quietly empowering about it.
Knowing that your information—and your intent—won’t vanish when you do.
How to Use the Time Before Launch
Between now and launch day, consider doing a few things to get ready:
Write down what matters most. Start with five categories: financial, legal, personal, medical, and digital.
Tell your Trusted Contact that an invitation will come soon.
Skim your documents. You may find duplicates or old accounts to close.
Read your own notes. Sometimes they reveal what you still need to say.
Visit sayitlast.com and review the FAQs, User Guide, and Trusted Contact Guide—everything’s there to make launch day simple.
This preparation doesn’t require the app—it just makes you ready when it arrives.
The Philosophy Behind “Handled. Decided. Safe.”
Those three words aren’t marketing—they’re the goal.
Handled means you’ve taken action.
Decided means you’ve made your wishes clear.
Safe means they’ll stay that way until the right time.
Say It Last isn’t a social network or an online storage locker. It’s a promise that the right information will reach the right person—without anyone else ever seeing it.
What Comes After Launch
Once the app is live, we’ll begin sharing short tutorials and blog stories from real users (with permission, anonymized). Topics will include:
How to pick your Trusted Contact
How the toggle timer works
How to store your first “legacy note”
Why privacy-first apps matter in estate planning
Each piece will build confidence and help people ease into the process without overwhelm.
Why This Matters Now
We’re living longer, moving faster, and storing more of our lives online.
But very few of us have a clear plan for how that digital life will be managed when we’re gone.
Say It Last exists to change that—not through fear, but through design.
Through the quiet reassurance that technology can still be humane.
As the founder often says,
“We’re not trying to automate death. We’re trying to make life a little easier for the people left behind.”
Final Thoughts
If you’ve read this far, you’re already doing something most people don’t: preparing with intention.
That’s what Say It Last is really about.
Not urgency, not fear—just calm readiness.
Because when you’ve thought through the details, you leave room for peace.
So as we count down to launch, take a deep breath.
Your plans are nearly in place.
Your story is almost ready.
And when the time comes… your toggle will be on.
