01
Support Profile
Tell loved ones what helps — and what doesn't.
Guided prompts for every kind of hard season: illness, loss, surgery, divorce, burnout. Meals or quiet company. Calls or text only. Visitors or privacy. No more guessing.
Know how to show up.
Known is a quiet place to tell the people who love you how to help when life gets hard, and how you want to be remembered when you're gone.
The promise
Help your people help you.
When something hard happens, the people around you want to help, they often just don't know how. Known lets you answer two questions before they're ever needed:
"How do I want to be supported when life gets hard?"
"How do I want to be remembered when I'm gone?"
What's inside
Six tools for the moments that matter most.
02
Legacy Profile
A roadmap for being remembered well.
Not a will. A guide. The songs, the stories, the speakers, the food, the atmosphere and final messages in your own words.
03
Memory Vault
Stories worth keeping, shared on your terms.
Prompted reflections like your happiest memory, the lesson learned the hard way, advice for the people who'll come next. Yours alone, or shared with trusted few.
04
Support Circle
The right person for the right moment.
Designate a meal organizer, a childcare coordinator, a healthcare advocate, a primary contact. Roles, not just contacts.
05
Crisis Activation
Turn intention into action when it matters.
A trusted contact can activate your profile during a crisis. Your circle is gently guided on how to help, what not to do, and where to show up.
06
Community Connection
Build the support system you don't have yet.
A gentle assessment of who you can count on and thoughtful, local resources when the answer is fewer people than you'd hoped.
For every season
Different moments need different kinds of love.
Known lets you write a different set of support preferences for each kind of hard thing. Because what helps after losing a parent isn't the same as what helps after a diagnosis.
- Death of a partner
- Death of a parent
- Death of a child
- Serious illness
- Surgery & recovery
- Mental health crisis
- Divorce or separation
- Job loss
- Caregiver burnout
- A general hard season
A glimpse
Clear, kind, and easy to follow.
No clinical forms. No legal language. Just plain words a friend can read in a moment of panic and immediately know what to do.
