Heartchive: Grief & Caregiving

Heartchive (heart•kive): an archive for your heart For when you’re caring for someone you love, missing someone you’ve lost, or carrying both. Heartchive is a space for memories, private writing, and practical help—because it all comes tangled together, and support should make room for all of it. TWO PATHS: CARING FOR AND REMEMBERING Caring for someone can begin gradually, or with a phone call that changes everything. You may be grieving a recent loss, or carrying one from years ago. Everyone’s story is different. Heartchive makes room for yours. Choose a path for each person you’re caring for or remembering—a parent, partner, sibling, friend, or pet. Each has their own space, with prompts and suggested tasks tailored to your path and relationship. FOR THE PRACTICAL BURDEN Keep track of calls, accounts, documents, and decisions when concentrating is hard. Find suggested tasks grouped by what may need attention first and what can wait. Add tasks, reminders, and due dates. Keep care details, medication checklists, contacts, and important information together. Link them to tasks so you don’t have to keep searching. FOR SHARING RESPONSIBILITY Let family see and take on tasks, without one person having to coordinate every detail. Make shared lists, assign tasks, and see what’s done. Keep a separate list for things you’d rather handle yourself. HAVEN · YOUR AI TASK HELPER Ask Haven for help breaking tasks into smaller steps, thinking through what needs doing, or figuring out what to ask on a phone call. Haven uses your tasks to offer suggestions. It does not access your private writing or memories. FOR STAYING CONNECTED TO THEM Keep their stories, voicemails, recordings, and photos, alongside memories from people who knew different sides of them. Save photos, videos, voice recordings, and stories on a memory timeline. Add their voicemails so you can return to the sound of their voice. Invite family or friends to add their memories too. For someone you’re caring for, find questions about their life, record their answers, and save the memories you’re still making together. REQUEST TRIBUTES FROM OTHERS Ask friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors to share a story or a few words. Gather tributes for a funeral, a birthday, or just because—including stories you may never have heard before. FOR THE MOMENTS BETWEEN CONVERSATIONS Somewhere to write in the quiet hours, when a wave of grief hits, or when you just need to let it out. Answer a prompt, write a letter, or write whatever is on your mind—even when your feelings contradict each other. You don’t have to soften any of it here. You don’t have to make it sound okay when it isn’t. Save quotes, poems, and words that help put yours into words. Your letters and prompt answers stay together in your Heartchives. FOR AS LONG AS IT MATTERS A space you can return to months or years later. Keep birthdays, anniversaries, and meaningful dates together, with optional reminders. You don’t have to use every part of Heartchive. Use what helps. Leave what doesn’t. What you need may change from one day to the next. That’s what it’s for. CHOOSE WHAT YOU SHARE Choose who can see each memory, task, or important detail. Everything in Words stays private, just for you. No public feed. No comparisons. No pressure to share. Use the app or website with the same account to keep everything in sync. GIVE A GIFT THAT LASTS It can be hard to know how to show up for someone you love. Give them a lifetime membership to Heartchive. LIFETIME ACCESS Writing is always free. One payment of $49.99 adds photos, videos, voice recordings, and documents, with 10 GB of storage. No subscription. Built in honor of my dad, Steve. I cared for him for four years before he died. Heartchive is the space I wished I’d had. Heartchive does not provide medical, therapeutic, or crisis services. Find places to reach out through Crisis Support in the app.
