Starting your legacy can feel emotional, meaningful, and sometimes a little overwhelming. When you open Crux Legacy for the first time you might wonder where to begin or which memories or documents to upload first. The truth is there is no perfect starting point. What matters is taking that first gentle step toward protecting what you love.

Crux Legacy is made to guide you through this process with ease. Whether you are preparing important documents or preserving memories for the people who matter, every upload helps you build a legacy rooted in care.

Begin with what feels most meaningful

Some people start with documents. Others start with memories. Others begin with a single photo. Every choice is valid. What matters is choosing something that reflects a part of your story or something your loved ones may need one day.

Simple and personal ideas to get started:

• A special photo with your partner from a trip or anniversary;
• A memory or milestone you want your child to remember;
• A message for a friend who has been part of your life journey;
• A short video with your voice saying something heartfelt;
• Photos from important moments such as birthdays, graduations, or holidays.

Crux Legacy allows you to share each item with one or multiple nominees, so you can customize who receives every memory or document.

Add important documents as you go

Crux Legacy is a safe and private digital vault. Many users begin by uploading the documents their loved ones might need most.

Useful documents to upload early on:

• Identification documents;
• Real estate and property files;
• Insurance details;
• Financial information;
• Medical documents;
• Emergency instructions.

You can always return to add more, update, or reorganize your files over time.

Use Time Capsule for future milestones

One of Crux Legacy’s most heartfelt features is the Time Capsule. It allows you to schedule memories, notes, or messages for a specific future date. This makes every moment feel thoughtful and intentional.

Beautiful Time Capsule ideas:

• A birthday message for your child to receive each year;
• Graduation wishes for when they finish school or university;
• A message for your partner to open on your anniversary;
• A note of encouragement for a future moment in their life;
• Seasonal greetings like Christmas or holiday messages.

These become emotional anchors that your nominees can receive exactly when they need them most.

Capture everyday memories in your Journal

Your Crux Journal is your personal space to write notes, feelings, thoughts, or reflections. These entries can be shared with one or more nominees with a single tap.

Simple journal entries to start with:

• A letter expressing what you love about someone;
• Reflections on an important moment in your life;
• Advice you want to pass on;
• Stories you don’t want your family to forget;
• Messages of comfort for the future.

Even a few lines can become a cherished treasure for the people you care about.

Think about the people in your life

Crux Legacy is not only for partners or immediate family. You can create dedicated spaces for anyone who has shaped your life.

People you may want to upload memories for:

• Your partner
• Your children
• Your parents
• Close friends
• Siblings
• Relatives
• Someone who supported you in a difficult moment
• Mentors, teachers, or anyone who had an impact

Each nominee automatically receives a dedicated folder based on their name, where you can upload all the memories and documents you want to leave them.

Start simple and grow your Legacy naturally

Your legacy does not need to be created in one day. Start with one photo, one document, one note, or one memory. Over time your Crux Legacy space becomes a collection of everything you wish to preserve.

Every upload is an act of love.
Every message becomes a future moment of comfort.
Every document makes life easier for the people you care about.
