A private archive, and a memorial afterwards
Write it down while you still can be asked.
Keep your photographs, your stories and your letters somewhere nobody can read them. When you die, three people you named confirm it, and the part you chose to make public becomes a page your family can visit for as long as they want to.
PeaceMyDears is currently in private testing.

How it works — all of it
There are three moving parts and no others.
You keep things privately
Photographs, written memories, and letters addressed to one person each. Nobody can see any of it while you are alive — not visitors, not your family, and not us. You can seal anything so it stays private even afterwards.
Three people can confirm you have died
You name them; they agree in advance. Two of the three have to confirm, and then seven days pass during which we try every way we have of reaching you. They can never read what you wrote.
The page you arranged is published
At an address you choose, with the sections you switched on, in the order you set. Your letters go to the people they were written to. Nothing you sealed is included.
The obvious question
What happens if you go out of business?
You can export everything you have kept here, at any time, as ordinary files and plain text in a folder you can open without us. If we ever shut down we will export every archive and email it to its owner and their contacts before anything is deleted, and we will give ninety days’ notice.
- Can anyone at PeaceMyDears read my letters?
- Letters are encrypted with a key held outside the database, and are decrypted only at the moment one is delivered. Everything else is readable by our systems in the same sense your email host can read your email — and by no person, in the ordinary course of running this service. Every decryption is recorded.
- What if one of my three people is wrong?
- One person cannot publish anything. Two can start the seven days, and you can stop it with one press for as long as you can reach a phone or an email account.
What is published, in the end
A page in your own words, not a profile.
What appears
- Your biography, in your words
- The timeline of your life you built
- Photographs and albums you marked for the memorial
- Stories you chose to publish
- Messages left by the people who visit
What never does
- Anything you sealed
- Drafts and anything you never published
- Your letters — each goes to the person it was written to
- The documents used to confirm your death
You decide which side of this each thing falls on, and you can move it back at any time.
What it costs
Once, or never.
A memorial that stops when a subscription lapses is not a memorial. Pay once and the published page is kept for as long as the company exists, with no further charge to your family.
Free
50 photographs, unlimited writing, three trusted contacts, a published memorial.
€0
Everything, once
Unlimited photographs and albums, unlimited letters, a QR marker, and the page kept indefinitely.
€120
Placeholder figures. The tiering is the design decision here — one payment rather than a subscription — not the numbers.
Thirty minutes now is worth more than any amount of time later.
Start with one photograph and one paragraph. You can leave it there and come back in a year.
