Inside Styx
A planning system, not a pile of notes
Privacy-first
Legal Documents
Establish the core legal documents that form the foundation of your estate plan, including your will, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives.
Beneficiary Designations
Review and update beneficiary designations on all accounts. These pass outside your will and are among the most overlooked — and consequential — parts of estate planning.
Financial Planning
Create a complete picture of your assets, debts, and estate size. Review your jurisdiction's estate-tax posture and property titling rules.
Digital Estate Planning
Inventory your digital life — accounts, passwords, cryptocurrency — and document your wishes for each. Set up platform legacy tools and grant access in your legal documents.
53 guided checklist items
Exportable summaries and document locators
Shared read-only access for a trusted person
Offline-friendly browser mode
Private from the first click
Start in browser-only mode, add an account later if you want sync, and avoid scattering sensitive instructions across notes, inboxes, and binders.
Built for the people who act next
Organize documents, beneficiaries, contacts, practical wishes, and review reminders so your executor and family are not guessing under pressure.
How it works
Built for real planning sessions, not one long questionnaire
Move section by section, save partial progress automatically, and revisit the checklist after major life events or annual reviews.
