Where the insurance policies are. How to get into your phone. Which bills auto-pay from where. Who to call first. It's all in your head — ReadyBinder gets it onto paper. Fourteen guided sections, one honest afternoon, and a printed binder that turns the worst week of their lives into a set of instructions.
✓ No account ✓ Nothing uploaded — it never leaves your device ✓ $29 once to print, not $120/yr
In most homes, one person handles things. The accounts, the passwords, the policy renewals, which switch is the water shutoff. Estate lawyers and financial planners give every client the same homework: put it all in one binder. Almost nobody does it — because a blank page is hard, and the “fill-in PDF” you bought on Etsy is still sitting in your downloads folder.
No blank pages. Every section asks you plain questions with real examples — “Where do the important documents live?” — and saves as you type, on your device.
One click typesets everything into a beautiful Letter-size binder: cover page, section dividers, a “start here” page for your person, even wallet cards. Anything you skipped prints as ruled lines to finish in pen.
Tell one person where it lives. Reread it each year — your answers stay saved, so updating and reprinting takes minutes, forever.
Fourteen sections, distilled from what estate lawyers, financial planners, and grief-support workers say families actually scramble for.
Subscription “family vaults” ask you to upload all of this — accounts, documents, medical details — to their servers, for $100+ every year. ReadyBinder takes the opposite position:

Yes — architecturally, not just as a promise. ReadyBinder is a page that runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are stored in your browser's local storage on your computer and are never transmitted. There's no account to create and no server that ever sees your binder. You can fill it in with your internet disconnected.
No — and ReadyBinder never asks you to. A printed binder should be a map, not a vault: it records where your documents and password manager live and the hints your family would need, not the secrets themselves. The prompts coach you through this on every sensitive question.
Two safety nets: your printed binder is the real product and lives on paper, and the unlock includes one-click encrypted backups — a file locked with your passphrase that restores your binder on any computer. Your license key from your receipt re-activates on any device, any time.
No. ReadyBinder is an organizational tool, not a legal document and not legal advice. It works alongside your will — several sections help your family find your actual legal documents and the professionals who hold them.
Because this is a thing you make, not a service you rent. You pay once, print your binder, and update it every year for free. We'd rather you finish it than keep paying us.
Even a half-finished binder prints with ruled lines wherever you left gaps, so you (or your family) can finish it in pen — genuinely useful from day one. And if it's not for you, reply to your receipt within 30 days for a full refund.
