LegacyApp Review 2026: Organizing a Digital Legacy

LegacyApp is a mobile app for keeping important personal information in one place and arranging for selected notes to reach a trusted person if you can no longer respond. It is aimed at everyday organization as well as preparing for incapacity or death.

Users can save text, photos and screenshots, and the app says notes remain on the phone with an encrypted backup in the user's Google Drive or iCloud. A free plan is available; Premium adds features including multiple beneficiaries and SMS alerts. LegacyApp does not itself transfer ownership of accounts or assets.

The homepage describes AES-256 encryption for cloud backups and says Premium notes are encrypted on the phone. It also says the service is GDPR compliant and supervised by an external data and technology law firm. The app does not disclose an independent security audit or Premium pricing on the homepage.

LegacyApp is a mobile notepad for information that may be useful to you or someone you trust later. You can add text, photos and screenshots about accounts, policies, documents and digital assets. The app says it works offline, stores notes on your phone and backs them up in your own Google Drive or iCloud.

To arrange future access, you select a recipient and leave the information you want to share. LegacyApp periodically checks in with you; if you stop responding and your Trusted Friends confirm that something has happened, the app provides the recipient secure access. The process is for sharing the notes you stored, not for transferring or taking control of the accounts or assets they describe.

LegacyApp offers a free plan with no time limit and no credit card requirement. Premium adds multiple beneficiaries, SMS alerts and priority support, but its price and any billing terms are not published on the homepage. Check the app's Pricing & Activation section for current plan details.

LegacyApp says notes are stored on the user's phone and backed up to their own Google Drive or iCloud using AES-256 encryption; Premium also encrypts notes on the phone. This reduces reliance on LegacyApp-hosted storage, but users still need to protect their device and cloud accounts and understand the recovery process before storing sensitive details.

The app does not disclose an independent security audit on its homepage. It says it is GDPR compliant and supervised by an external data and technology law firm, but does not identify the firm there. The check-in and Trusted Friends process is central to passing notes on, so users should consider how missed check-ins, contact availability and inaccurate information could affect access.

LegacyApp is for people who want to keep essential personal information organized and make selected notes available to a trusted person if they become unable to respond. It may also help households coordinate where important documents and account details can be found. It is not a substitute for the legal arrangements or account-specific steps needed to transfer assets.
