EXIT Life Ready Re-defining end of life planning

Why the EXIT Life Ready App Is Different: Redefining End of Life Planning, one user at a time.

End of life planning is one of the most vital yet overlooked aspects of our lives. It's about more than paperwork — it's about peace of mind, preparedness, dignity, and legacy. While several apps have emerged to tackle different aspects of this planning process — from digital wills to life storytelling — the EXIT Life Ready App takes a more holistic, accessible, and human-first approach.

So, how exactly does EXIT stand out in a landscape that includes tools like EverAfter, Free Will, Legacy App, Legacy Lab App, and Liveful?

Let's explore the key differences and the unique features of EXIT Life Ready. Why we believe it's not just another app — it's a movement toward compassionate preparedness, giving you a voice when you are no longer able to speak for yourself for advanced care planning.

A Quick Snapshot of the Competitors

Before diving into what sets EXIT apart, let's understand the space:

• EverAfter focuses on digital storytelling and legacy preservation — scheduling messages, living wills, and planning your funeral (digital death planner).

• Free Will (LawDepot) offers free legal templates for wills and advances directives - often in partnership with nonprofits.
• Legacy App emphasizes creating a "legacy vault" of wishes and essential details.
• The Legacy Lab App offers personal branding tools for legacy, storytelling, and estate organization but falls short of death executor.
• Liveful targets holistic end of life services, encompassing legacy planning, emotional support, stories and a comprehensive funeral checklist.

Each of these serves a purpose. But here's the catch: they tend to specialize in only one piece of the puzzle for example, only for providing advanced care planning or legacy video. End of life planning necessitates a more comprehensive and personalized approach. I know it's not easy, but how do you decide what works for me?

What Makes the EXIT Life Ready App Different?

1. Whole-Life, Whole-Family Focus: Today and Tomorrow.

Most apps are designed for the person planning their legacy. While EXIT Life Ready does that, it also supports caregivers, children, spouses, professional advisors, or anyone else to whom the user grants access.

EXIT Life Ready is built for families, not just individuals.

Whether it's sharing information with a care team, preparing instructions for a child, or offering peace of mind to aging parents, EXIT Life Ready understands that end-of-life planning is a shared journey. We prioritize collaboration, clarity, and emotional readiness across generations.

2. Secure Digital Vault + Real-Life Functionality

Yes, competitors offer digital storage but not digital executor app. But EXIT's vault goes beyond documents: it brings what we felt was important to us. When our EXIT happens, remember that it is the one guarantee in our world. We are all going to die.

• Digital Recipe Box (Coming Soon): A place to preserve traditions and stories through food. I know my phone holds my favorite recipes and the go-to ones for the grandchildren.
• Photo Album Storage: Keep personal memories safe and shareable. Could you imagine creating your slideshow, where you choose the most favorable photographs?
• Health First-Aid Kit: Store medications, contact information, and emergency details for caregivers or decision-makers. As we think about all the professionals we meet regularly, it makes notifications seamless when the time comes.
• Power of Attorney, Wills, and Important information: All are categorized, updated, and clearly explained. On your terms, your wishes are respected at the end of life. No clutter. There is no confusion. Just streamlined readiness when it matters most.
• Legacy Video: Those essential words of wisdom; we all have a story, so why not share it with those most important to us?

3. Inclusive and Emotionally Aware

EXIT Life Ready was built with the understanding that death is a deeply personal, emotional, and even spiritual experience. While others emphasize legal forms or tech, EXIT Life Ready emphasizes empathy.

We've designed the app to support:

• People are grieving a loved one while navigating decisions. Excellent quick links to resources and information that we all may find beneficial. Information is powerful; the more informed we are, the better-informed decisions we will make.
• For those managing end-of-life care for a relative, parent, friend, or spouse, the list is endless.
• Users dealing with sudden illness or unexpected loss, or those who want to share their appointments with their children.
• Communities are often excluded from traditional systems — including S2LGBTQ+ families, blended families, immigrants, and the digitally underrepresented.

EXIT Life Ready is not just software. It's a supportive digital space built with compassion at the core.

4. Flexible and Affordable

Many apps in the market follow complex pricing models or upsell vital features. EXIT Life Ready offers:

• A one-time cost, our Legacy Lifetime option for your digital executor
• Discounts for organizations that want to provide services to their clientele.
• Clear value with no hidden subscriptions, available in monthly and annual options.

This affordability means that everyone — not just the wealthy or tech-savvy — can be empowered to prepare. That's not only good design. That's social equity in action.

As we developed our technology, we also recognized the need to shift our focus to the most vulnerable members of our communities. There, we built a simplified version free with our not-for-profit entity, Home Hospice North, supporting inclusively.

5. Designed for Real-Life Emergencies

Unlike some competitors that focus only on legacy, EXIT Life Ready prepares users for what happens at the moment — when someone dies, is hospitalized, or cannot speak for themselves. That unexpected event in life, whether traveling, cruising, or a sudden life-altering event, when we pack all our medications and flip-flops, but did we pack our power of attorney?

EXIT's notification system and guided prompts ensure:

• Emergency contacts are easily accessible
• Death certificates and key documents can be securely and quickly shared
• Instructions for services, care, or memorials are easy to follow
• Data protection officers are ready to help with a click, a button, or a phone call

When time is of the essence, EXIT Life Ready doesn't just store — it supports action.

6. Culturally Sensitive Planning

Many legacy apps overlook the rich diversity of how people process death — culturally, spiritually, and emotionally. Our resource section within the app supports this, providing users with shared information that makes them feel comfortable and knowledgeable.

EXIT Life Ready is:

• Faith-inclusive: Information guidance respects a variety of beliefs and customs.
• Gender and identity awareness: Respectful of chosen family structures.

Dignity in death means honoring all aspects of a person — not just legal compliance; remember, we do not have to agree with a person's wishes, but we do need to respect them.

7. A Living App for a Full Life with Legacy Planning

EXIT Life Ready isn't just for the final chapter — it's for every stage leading up to it. Users can begin planning in their 30s, 40s, or whenever they feel ready. The app adapts as their life evolves.

Think of it like a digital life companion (instead of digital death planner):

• Add memories over time
• Update contacts and documents
• Share access as the family or your decision-maker as things change

Where others emphasize "death planning," EXIT supports life planning with purpose. It is just that... EXIT LIFE READY. Being prepared does not mean something bad will happen; it just means you are helping to reduce the burden for those left behind.

A New Way Forward: Why EXIT Life Ready Is a Movement, Not Just an App

We believe the conversation around death and dying needs to change. EXIT Life Ready isn't just building software — we're building a movement rooted in:

• Death literacy
• Advance Care Planning Readiness
• Emotional Awareness and Mental Health
• Digital empowerment
• Knowledge and informed decision-making

We are reframing death from a taboo to a meaningful part of life. And we're giving people the tools to do it with dignity, clarity, respect, and, most importantly, love.

Are you ready to live life fully and plan wisely?

If you're comparing tools and looking to choose between EXIT Life Ready, EverAfter, Free Will, Legacy Lab, and others — ask yourself:

• Does this app support every part of the journey?
• Can my loved one access what they need when it counts?
• Is this app built for real-life use, or just digital forms?

With EXIT Life Ready, you don't have to choose between emotional legacy, practical planning, or accessibility. You get all three in one thoughtful, secure, and beautiful app.
