Widowed

Gather everything they left behind into one keepsake for the family.

A family gathered around a laptop and a photobook, organising a late loved one's memories

After they're gone, you inherit not just grief but a pile of devices, accounts, photos and messages — every one of them a reason to cry, and none of them organised. BrainCopy brings it all together: photos, messages, old letters, voice notes. AI identifies faces, sorts by date, drafts memory chapters. Take years if you need to. The archive waits for you.

The problem

You have their phone, maybe their laptop, probably their Facebook or iCloud. Every folder you open makes you cry. Every decision feels wrong. Delete nothing, keep everything — but where, and how, and for who?

The children — or grandchildren — want something. A book, a film, a thing to hold. You know you should do this while you can still remember what each photo meant. But there are ten thousand of them, and opening the first one takes the whole day.

Meanwhile, subscription bills keep arriving. Their Google One is auto-renewing. Their iCloud is full. You don't know the passwords to half of it. And somewhere inside all of that is a thirty-second voice note you haven't listened to yet because you're afraid.

How BrainCopy solves it

Import everything, slowly

Facebook export, Google Photos Takeout, their phone, their messages, their old emails, scanned letters. Upload whatever you have access to, one platform at a time. BrainCopy doesn't judge you for taking six months to do it. The archive just grows as you're ready.

AI identifies faces, so you don't have to

Face clustering finds every photo your late spouse appears in, every photo of the children at each age, every photo of their parents and siblings. Name each cluster once, and the whole archive becomes navigable by person.

Their words, preserved

AI reads their handwriting from scanned letters and notebooks, transcribes voice recordings, and extracts their writing voice from messages and posts. Their phrases and humour are captured in a form you can return to.

A keepsake book per child or grandchild

Generate a per-person memoir from the archive — one for each child, one for each grandchild. Every book focuses on the photos and moments that include that specific person. Print through any photobook service. One-time gift, forever kept.

Optional: a legacy AI that can answer

If you want, and only if you want, BrainCopy can create a private assistant trained on their writing, so grandchildren can ask "what did Grandma say about her wedding?" and get an answer in her voice, from her own words. Many families find this powerful. Some find it too much. It's optional, and can be switched off at any time.

FAQ

I can't handle this all at once.
Then don't. Upload one Facebook export today and close the laptop. Come back in six months. There's no deadline on grief and no deadline on BrainCopy. The archive will be there when you're ready.
What about their accounts? Their passwords?
For Google, Facebook, iCloud — each has a "legacy contact" or "memorial account" process you can use with a death certificate. BrainCopy can't unlock their accounts for you, but once you have access we can import everything in one go. We have guides for each major platform.
I'm worried about accidentally deleting something precious.
Import is non-destructive. Your original files stay on your computer or their device. BrainCopy makes a copy, organises it, and enriches it. If you want to delete the originals afterwards, you can — but nothing we do removes them for you.
Is the legacy-AI thing creepy?
It can be, if the family isn't ready. So it's opt-in per person. Some families use it to help grandchildren who never met the person ask questions. Some families turn it off entirely. You decide, and you can change your mind later.
What does it cost?
Subscription is €10/month, or €5/month forever with WIDOWED50. AI processing for a lifetime archive is typically €50–€200 one-time. Printed keepsake books are through a standard photobook printer (€30–€80 per book), outside BrainCopy.
What if I don't want the children to see everything?
You control access, tag by tag. You can keep private parts private, or delete them entirely. You can give different children access to different tagged parts. Nothing is automatic.
Do I have to use the iOS or Android app?
No. All the heavy lifting (upload, browse, print) is on the website. The phone app is only for daily capture, which you may not need at all.
