Public Resources
Explain Styx's public reference pages and how to use them without signing in.
Purpose
Explain Styx's public reference pages and how to use them without signing in.
Who this is for
- people evaluating Styx before creating an account
- users who want plain-language definitions for planning terms
- users who want public legal, healthcare, and practical resources
- anyone checking the app's live status or policy pages
What you can do here
- read the glossary for common estate-planning terms
- browse curated resource links for the current jurisdiction
- open public state or territory landing pages for local planning context
- check live system status
- read the privacy policy and terms of service
Step-by-step instructions
Open the glossary
- Use the sidebar link for Glossary or visit
/glossary. - Search for a term in the glossary box.
- Read the definition and, when available, the note tied to your selected state or territory.
Open resources
- Use the sidebar link for Resources or visit
/resources. - Review the universal resources first.
- Select a state or territory in Settings, or use browse mode from the sidebar, if you want local resources to appear.
Check system status
- Use the sidebar link for Status or visit
/status. - Review the overall status at the top of the page.
- If a service is degraded or down, try again later instead of assuming your plan is lost.
Read the policy pages
- Open Privacy or Terms from their direct URLs, from the disclaimer/auth flow when shown, or from any in-app link that points to those pages.
- Read them when you want to understand how data is handled or what Styx promises.
Review a state or territory landing page
- Visit
/estate-planning/[state], such as/estate-planning/wa. - Use the page to understand the jurisdiction summary before you start planning.
- Watch for territory notices or review-gated banners that explain limited guidance.
Important caveats or limitations
- Public resources are curated, not endorsements.
- The glossary is meant to explain terms, not replace local legal advice.
- State or territory landing pages may include review notices when deeper guidance is still pending.
- Territory pages intentionally emphasize universal planning guidance plus local resources.
- The status page is a live operational check, not a support inbox.
- English is the only published documentation language right now.
Common mistakes
- Treating a glossary definition as legal advice.
- Assuming resources pages include every local organization in every jurisdiction.
- Expecting the status page to fix an account, sync, or browser problem.
- Looking for private plan data on public pages.
- Expecting Spanish help docs to be available today.
