mylifeledger.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMyLifeLedger takes a distinctive approach to the estate planning problem: it combines a structured estate organizer with a family memory and story preservation system. As the app puts it: “A will says who gets it. Ledger tells them where to find it \u2014 and preserves the stories behind it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the practical side, MyLifeLedger covers 10 sections and over 100 subsections of estate information: financial accounts, insurance, legal documents, property, healthcare, business ownership, digital accounts, key contacts, dependents and pets, and final wishes. Guided prompts walk you through each section, and the app generates an “Estate Readiness Score” so you can see how complete your information is at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Importantly, MyLifeLedger does not store passwords or account credentials. It functions as a location directory \u2014 documenting where<\/em> accounts are and who to call<\/em>, not the login details themselves. This “map, not a key” approach means the ledger provides a roadmap to your estate without creating a credential vault that would require heightened security.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the memory side, the app’s Ledger 2.0 upgrade (currently in early access) adds AI-guided voice recording for capturing family stories, life histories, and personal messages. You can record answers to guided questions in your own voice, preserving them permanently for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pricing:<\/strong> A basic plan is free (no credit card required, up to 10 entries, shareable with up to 5 people). Premium is $39\/year, covering unlimited entries and full access to all features. Bank-level AES-256 encryption and Face ID protection are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat about general-purpose tools?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Evernote<\/strong> and Notion<\/strong> both surface in searches for document organization, and both can be adapted for personal records management \u2014 but neither was built for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEvernote is a capable note-taking and document capture app with document scanning, search, and notebook organization. Its paid Starter plan ($8.25\/month billed annually) offers 5 GB of storage across up to three devices. What Evernote doesn’t provide is any structure specific to life-event records: no suggested categories for IDs, estate documents, or medical records; no role-based family access controls; no guided setup for what a family should have prepared. You can build those structures yourself, but that requires significant ongoing effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notion is a highly flexible AI workspace trusted by teams at thousands of companies. Its personal free plan is genuinely powerful. Like Evernote, Notion can be configured to organize personal documents \u2014 but it requires building your own database structure, and it offers no guidance on what essential life records you should be capturing or how to share them with a co-owner or executor. Notion is built for productivity workflows, not life-event preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you already use one of these tools and want to keep a basic notes-based document log, they’re better than nothing. But for families who want a complete, guided system with secure sharing and estate-ready access controls, a purpose-built lifehub is a more reliable choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFrequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What is a lifehub?<\/strong>
A lifehub is a purpose-built digital system for organizing, protecting, and sharing a household’s essential information \u2014 IDs, legal and estate documents, medical records, insurance policies, account information, emergency contacts, and more. Unlike generic cloud storage, a lifehub provides guided setup, structured categories for life-event records, and secure sharing controls designed for families and the people they trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat’s the difference between a lifehub and cloud storage?<\/strong>
Cloud storage gives you a place to put files. A lifehub gives you a system: it tells you what to organize, walks you through adding it, structures information in categories designed for real-life use, and provides access controls that let you share specific information with specific people \u2014 including timed access for emergencies or estate situations. Quicken LifeHub, for example, includes a Co-owner role who can assume control in an emergency, and a Viewer role that can be set to activate only after the owner’s passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat documents should I store in a lifehub?<\/strong>
The most important categories include: government-issued IDs (passport, driver’s license, birth certificate, Social Security card); estate documents (will, trust, power of attorney, living will, healthcare directive); insurance policies (health, home, auto, life); financial account information (bank accounts, investment accounts); property records (mortgage deed, car title); medical information (allergies, prescriptions, medical history); emergency contacts; and digital account information (passwords, streaming logins, Wi-Fi). A good lifehub will suggest these categories and specific items within each.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs Quicken LifeHub safe for sensitive documents?<\/strong>
Quicken LifeHub uses AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher encryption for data in transit. Multi-factor authentication is available and can be required for all logins. Role-based permissions give you precise control over who can access which information.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDoes Quicken LifeHub work for estate planning?<\/strong>
Yes. Quicken LifeHub includes pre-built folders for estate-related documents including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, and legacy letters. It also supports a Co-owner role who can assume control of the account in an emergency, and Viewer access that can be configured to activate after the account owner’s passing \u2014 making it well suited to estate-readiness planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCan I share my Quicken LifeHub with family members?<\/strong>
Yes. Quicken LifeHub supports four household roles: Owner, Co-owner, Editors, and Viewers. Owners and Co-owners control what information is shared and with whom. Viewers can be restricted to specific folders, and their access can be set to activate now or only after the owner’s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat happens to my documents if I stop my Quicken LifeHub subscription?<\/strong>
Your household data is retained for two years after the subscription expires, giving you time to retrieve anything you need. You can request permanent deletion of your data at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow much does Quicken LifeHub cost?<\/strong>
Quicken LifeHub is priced at $1.99\/month billed annually for the first year, with a regular price of $3.99\/month. It includes 30 GB of storage, with additional tiers available. See quicken.com\/products\/lifehub<\/a> for current pricing. There is no free trial, but Quicken offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow does Quicken LifeHub compare to Trustworthy?<\/strong>
Both are purpose-built lifehubs. Trustworthy emphasizes automatic organization and AI-powered queries, with a free entry tier and Gmail sync for passive document capture. Quicken LifeHub emphasizes guided setup with structured checklists, a broader range of pre-built life-event categories, financial account integration with Quicken products, and more granular timed access controls for estate situations. Quicken LifeHub is also significantly more affordable for families who need a full-featured plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs a lifehub the same as a password manager?<\/strong>
No. Password managers are designed specifically to store and autofill login credentials. A lifehub is broader: it covers your full range of essential information \u2014 IDs, legal documents, medical records, insurance policies, estate documents, and more. Quicken LifeHub can store passwords (such as Wi-Fi and streaming logins) as one of many categories, but that is one small part of what it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
