The problem we are solving
Most families are completely unprepared for the moment that changes everything. When someone dies without a plan, their family often spends months searching for important documents that no one can find. Financial accounts may go unclaimed, final wishes remain unheard, and many of the things that mattered most go unsaid. Legacy planning exists to prevent all of this, but it has never been simple enough, affordable enough, or personal enough for ordinary families.
The promise tether makes possible
Tether is a place where a person stores everything that matters – their voice, their story, their documents, important photos – and ensures it reaches the right people at the right time, exactly the way they intended.
The vision is not a product feature. It is a promise. Every person who uses Tether makes a quiet, powerful promise to the people they love. No lawyers needed. No complexity. No awkward conversations. Just an easy to use and very affordable tool for busy people.
“Thanks to Tether, my family will not be lost when I am gone. I prepared for this moment. I thought about my family and friends. They will have everything they need, when they need it.”
— Diana M., Tether beta user

Our apartment building on the South Side
This is the building where we lived. Fourth floor, apartment 4C. I can still remember running up those stairs every day after school.

Meeting Your Father
I met your father in the fall of 1987, at a coffee shop near the university. I was studying late, buried in textbooks for my nursing exam, and he walked in with his guitar case slung over his shoulder.

What early users are actually saying.
“I recorded a message for my daughter for her wedding day. Whether I'm there or not, she'll have my words. That's worth more than anything I've ever bought.”
“After watching my mother-in-law's estate take two years to settle, I set up Tether in a weekend. My husband's family will never go through what we did.”
“As an estate attorney, I recommend Tether to every client after they sign their will. It's the organizational layer the law alone can't provide.”
