Octopus Legacy

Octopus Legacy

Platform for preserving multimedia legacies

Overview

Octopus Legacy helps people plan end-of-life by building a shared digital legacy with friends and family. It focuses on leaving more than money—voice notes, playlists, recipes, and videos—co-created over time through conversations rather than rushed forms. The platform works by collecting and organizing these personal memories and media as a living project that evolves with life events. Compared with typical options that center on wills and probate forms, Octopus Legacy emphasizes human connection and collaborative storytelling, offering a way to preserve memories for loved ones. The goal is to help people leave a meaningful, personal, and enduring legacy that reflects their life and relationships.
