What happens if I die
You designate digital heirs. When you're gone, they receive read and export access to your full corpus, according to the rules you left.
The problem
You're writing the story of your life. It's the closest thing to a real legacy you'll leave. If you die tomorrow, what happens? Do your kids lose everything? Does your partner have to fight with support to access? Does Anecdotario decide alone? Without an explicit plan, most likely it gets lost.
What Anecdotario does
In /settings/heirs you designate up to three people. For each, you define:
- What they receive. It can be all your anecdotes, only the ones marked "for inheritance," or only those from specific chapters. You choose the scope.
- When they receive it. Default: when your death is verified. Optional: on a specific date you choose (e.g., "the day my son turns 25").
- What they can do. Read only, read + export, or read + compositions (they can generate the book of your life in your name).
How death is verified
Three paths, you choose which to enable:
- Prolonged inactivity. If you don't log in for X months (you define X) and don't reply to three check-in pings, the protocol activates. Conservative and robust.
- Verified contact. Your heirs can upload a death certificate. We verify it manually with a human before transferring anything.
- Trusted third-party key. You give a key to someone (a notary, a relative) that's only used if they present a death certificate.
What happens after
Your heirs receive an email with instructions. They can enter a read-only view, export everything, or request that we generate the full book in EPUB and PDF for them. Your account stays in permanent museum mode — no one writes over yours, no one adds anything new. It's your corpus, frozen the day you were gone.
Why it matters
A life story without an inheritance plan is a story that ends up lost. Anecdotario is designed for decade-scale — if you subscribe at 35 and live until 85, that's 50 years of corpus. There has to be a clear plan for what happens when that time runs out.
If I stop paying, do I lose what I wrote? No — you stay in museum mode: you read and export everything, but you can't create new content until you come back.
One click and you download everything: anecdotes, audios, photos, generated books — in open formats. No conditions, no paperwork, no chatbot trying to retain you.
