About us

About Humanful.

Who we are, why we started, and where we are today.

Our story

Why we started

Most of life can be done again. A message can be rewritten, a plan can change, a mistake can be put right tomorrow.

Some moments cannot. When someone dies, or can no longer speak for themselves, the people closest to them have to find their way. Too often they are left with questions. Where are the papers? What were the passwords? Who picks up the children tonight? What would they have wanted?

Humanful was started to change that. We build software that helps people prepare while they can, so their families are left with answers instead of questions.

Our mission

Tools for the hardest moments in people's lives.

The moments that happen around us, like a death in the family, and the ones we fight inside. We want to make them a little lighter, wherever people live and whatever language they speak.

The name

Full of humanity

We made up the word. Like careful or thoughtful, it describes a way of doing things: with people in mind first.

It is a reminder we give ourselves every day. Every screen, every sentence and every rule should feel as if one kind person made it for another.

Our motto says the same thing in three words: Only for humanity. Our one rule says how: every product we make has to help people.

Who we build for

For anyone others would miss

We build for people facing the hardest moments of their lives, and for the people around them.

  • People who want to be ready

    Anyone who has wondered: if something happened to me tomorrow, would my family know what to do?

  • Parents and carers

    People others depend on every day: children, a partner, an older parent, a pet.

  • The people left behind

    Families finding their way after a loss. They deserve clear, gentle help, and they are never sold to.

Where we are

Young, careful, honest

Humanful is a young company. Our first product, Gentle Handover, helps people leave letters, passwords and plans for the people they choose.

We are careful because the people who use what we make may do so on the worst days of their lives. We test what we make. We say plainly what it cannot do. We would rather be late than wrong.
