Why these tools are free
Most of the work of leaving things in order is not legal or technical. It is knowing what to write down, and actually writing it. These tools do that part with you, for free, without asking for an email address.
Nothing you type is sent to our servers. Drafts and ticks are kept in your browser's local storage, so they are there when you come back on the same device and gone if you clear it.
If you want the letter delivered, or the list to reach the right person at the right time, Sealkept can keep it sealed while you check in now and then, and release it only by your rules.
