Inspiration

The idea for Closure came from a simple but painful truth: too many people never get the chance to say goodbye. Whether it’s due to a sudden accident or a long illness, something is always left unsaid. We wanted to create something that feels human a tool that helps loved ones find peace, even when you're gone.

What it does

Closure is a digital legacy tool that delivers your final message and automates your final wishes. You can:

Write a heartfelt message Set custom check-in timers Choose who receives it Decide what images get deleted or preserved Automatically clear your browser history Send your phone passcode when needed

Everything stays secure and private triggered only if you go silent.

How we built it

We used Figma for UX/UI, Bolt.new for building interactions, and OpenAI for logic support. Some actions (like deleting browsing data) aren’t executable on web, so we created clean demos and flows to show how it would work.

Challenges we ran into

Web limitations: Some system-level tasks aren’t possible through browsers. Expo delays: Mobile limitations slowed development, so we pivoted to focus on a reliable web MVP. Emotional UX: Designing for grief meant extra care in wording, timing, and UI flow.

Accomplishments we're proud of

Delivered a clean, thoughtful UI under time pressure Created a fully working check-in and message trigger logic Validated the concept: over 90% of testers said Closure made them feel more prepared

What we learned

Designing for emotional use cases changes everything.

Build with privacy and trust as a foundation Focus on MVP clarity while planning future depth Balance utility with empathy

What's next for Closure App

Legal & Regulatory Restructuring As the app evolves, we plan to restructure certain features to better align with legal frameworks and data privacy regulations across different regions ensuring Closure remains secure, compliant, and trustworthy.

What’s Next for Closure App Our vision for Closure goes far beyond the MVP. Here's a look at what's coming next:

Voice Message Delivery Integrate with ElevenLabs to let users leave final voice messages in their own tone making messages feel deeply personal and human.

Full Mobile App Experience Build native iOS and Android apps with push notifications, secure storage, and offline support for check-ins and message previews.

Smart Triggers Add new check-in triggers powered by health data, location (GPS), or device activity — making the system more intelligent and flexible.

Encrypted File Vaults Let users securely upload and store sensitive documents, passwords, or media files, accessible only after trigger conditions are met.

Legacy Automation Engine Enable advanced workflows like auto-notifying selected contacts, executing scheduled actions, and handing off personal data all without manual intervention.

Closure is just getting started our mission is to give people the final word, even when they can't speak it themselves.
