Documents

Most families have no record of where things came from, what they mean, or who they should go to.

When an estate is settled in a rush, stories disappear. Objects are divided without context. Irreplaceable things get sold. Heirloom gives your family the clarity to do it differently.

How it works

Four steps to a legacy that lasts

01

Catalog

Add objects one by one or import a spreadsheet. Capture photos, provenance, condition, and estimated value.

02

Record stories

Write the narrative behind each object. Record audio narrations. Attach photos. Connect objects to family members.

03

Plan inheritance

Designate recipients for each item. Record your wishes. Export a printable plan for your estate documents.

04

Pass it down

Invite family members to view or manage the vault. Print QR labels to attach to the objects themselves.

Features

Everything your family vault needs

1 📷

Rich item records

Photos, descriptions, condition, provenance, estimated value, materials, dimensions. Everything organised beautifully.

2 🌳

Custody timeline

Track every owner an object has had. Import a GEDCOM from Ancestry or add family members manually.

3 📖

Family stories

Write long-form narratives linked to objects and people. Record audio. Export as a keepsake PDF book.

4 🏷

QR labels

Print QR codes to physically attach to objects. Scan to instantly see the full record on any device.

Your vault is completely private. Invite family members with granular permissions. Share read-only links when needed.

Inheritance planning

Designate recipients, record wishes, export a signed inheritance plan PDF ready for your estate attorney.

What you can catalog

If it has a story,
it belongs here

Heirloom is built for the full range of objects a family accumulates — from grandmother's engagement ring to grandfather's carpentry tools.

Sound familiar?

The moments
that make it matter

What if you could sit down with your grandchildren one day and show them exactly where the old writing desk came from — its maker, its first owner, every family it passed through?

For the storytellers
Families with history worth sharing

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your collection if something happened to you? Who would know what each piece is worth — or who it should go to?

For the planners
Anyone thinking about the future

Imagine clearing out a family home and knowing, for every single object, exactly what it is, what it means, and whose name is already on it. No arguments. No guesswork.
