I’ve spent twenty years protecting other people’s information.
This is what I built for yours.

Hi — I’m Michele H.

The question was this: if something happened tomorrow, would the people I love know where anything is? Who to call. What matters medically. Where the important papers live. What I’d want them to do first. Most of us carry those answers in our heads — and our families would be left guessing.

Why I’m so uncompromising about privacy

I’ve worked in IT for more than twenty years. Two decades of watching how information is stored, moved, secured — and sometimes lost. When you’ve seen behind that curtain long enough, you learn something simple: the more places your information lives, the more ways it can go wrong. Every “secure cloud” is still a server you’ll never see, run by people you’ll never meet.

So before I wrote a single line of Life on Track, I made one decision and never budged: your family’s information would never touch my servers. Not encrypted there, not “anonymized” there — simply never there at all. Your file is built on your device, stays on your device, and is backed up where you choose. I can’t see it. I can’t lose it. And nobody can breach what was never collected.

That isn’t a feature I added. It’s the foundation everything else sits on.

It also means Life on Track doesn’t depend on me. If this company ever went away, your app would keep working and your file would still be yours — it runs on your device, not on servers that could be switched off. Your license never expires. That promise isn’t in the fine print; it’s in how the product is built.

The years since have kept proving the point. Some of the best-known organizing services have been bought and sold — and every family file they held traveled with the deal, to new owners with new incentives. That can’t happen here. Your family’s information isn’t an asset on anyone’s balance sheet, because it was never collected in the first place.

The moment it’s really for

Because the point was never the technology. The point is the ordinary Monday when someone you love opens your file and — instead of panic, drawers, and guessing — finds one calm, organized file that says: here’s who to call, here’s what matters medically, here’s where the finances stand, here’s where everything is kept. I built Life on Track so that page exists for your family.

You don’t have to finish everything today. Twenty minutes gives your family a real head start — and whatever you record is already more than they had yesterday. That’s how I hope you’ll use it: a little at a time, at your own pace, for the people who matter most.
