Trust Blocks Product Roadmap: What We're Working On Next

We build Trust Blocks for real families.

That means the things we work on next are shaped by how people actually use the app. What feels easy. What feels confusing. What people wish was there.

This post is a calm, plain-English look at our product roadmap. It shares the directions we are exploring and the problems we want to solve.

A quick note before we start. This is not a list of promises. We are not announcing dates, versions, or prices. Some ideas here will ship. Some will change. Some may wait. A roadmap is a direction, not a guarantee.

We share it because we think you deserve to know where we are headed. And because your feedback genuinely changes what we build.

So here is what is on our minds.

How We Decide What to Build

Before we get to specific ideas, it helps to know how we choose.

Trust Blocks exists to do one thing well. It helps you organize your digital life so a trusted person can step in when you cannot. We call that person your Transfer Contact.

Every roadmap idea gets weighed against that goal. We ask a few simple questions.

• Does this make the app easier for an everyday adult?
• Does this help a Transfer Contact during a hard moment?
• Does it keep our security promise fully intact?
• Is it something people are actually asking for?

That last point matters most. We read support messages. We listen to advisors. We watch where people get stuck. The best items on our product roadmap come straight from that.

Security comes first, always

One rule never bends. Anything we build must respect our zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted design. The company never sees your stored secrets, and that will not change.

If a feature cannot be built without weakening that, we do not build it. You can read more about how this works on our security page and our privacy page.

Better Checklists and Guided Setup

The single most common thing people tell us is that they want a clearer path. They know digital estate planning matters. They are just not sure where to begin.

So one big focus area on the Trust Blocks roadmap is better checklists and gentler guidance.

Smarter, friendlier checklists

Today, Trust Blocks already walks you through the five things your family needs first. Your phone passcode. Your primary email login. Your cloud storage. Your bank account. And your important instructions, like where your will is kept or what a safe combination is.

We want to make that even easier to follow.

We are exploring checklists that feel more personal. The idea is simple. Show you what is most useful next, based on what you have already added, instead of one long generic list.

Some directions we are looking at include:

• Clearer progress, so you can see what is done and what is left
• Gentle nudges toward high-value items, like your email account and bank account
• Short, friendly explanations of why each item matters
• Easy ways to mark something as "not applicable" so the list stays honest

If you want a head start today, our digital estate planning checklist and our digital life checklist every adult should have are both good companions.

Setup that meets you where you are

Not everyone wants to do everything at once. Some people have ten minutes. Some have a quiet Sunday.

We want setup to work for both. Short sessions that still make real progress. The ability to stop and pick up later without losing your place. A clear sense that even a little effort is worth it.

The goal is a calmer start. Less staring at a blank screen. More small, satisfying steps.

Easier Account Organization

As your list grows, organization becomes the next challenge. A long list is only helpful if you can find things in it.

So another area on our product roadmap is making your Online Accounts easier to organize and scan.

Grouping that makes sense

Trust Blocks already sorts your information into clear areas. Essentials. Online Accounts. Devices. Digital Legacy.

Within Online Accounts, you can store many things. Financial accounts. Your password manager master password. Two-factor backup codes. Subscriptions. Crypto. Security questions. Auto bill payments. General logins.

That is a lot. We are exploring ways to make it feel lighter.

Some ideas we are considering:

• Simple grouping, so similar accounts sit together
• Faster ways to find a specific account
• Cleaner views for the categories that get long, like subscriptions and financial accounts
• Gentle prompts when something looks incomplete

Helping you keep things current

A digital estate plan is not a one-time task. Accounts change. You open new ones. You close old ones.

We want to make upkeep feel low-effort. The plan should reflect your real life without becoming a chore.

If you are tidying up right now, our guide on how to clean up old online accounts safely pairs nicely with this. A shorter, cleaner list is easier to keep current and easier for your Transfer Contact to handle later.

Smoother Family Sharing Workflows

Trust Blocks is built around one trusted person, your Transfer Contact. That focus keeps things secure and clear.

But families are not always one neat line. People have spouses, adult children, siblings, and close friends who play different roles. A common question we hear is how Trust Blocks can fit those real relationships.

So improving the family sharing workflow is firmly on our radar.

Making the Transfer Contact role clearer

Choosing a Transfer Contact is one of the most important steps you take. We want that choice to feel confident, not confusing.

Areas we are exploring here include:

• Clearer explanations of what a Transfer Contact can and cannot do
• Simpler ways to prepare that person for their role ahead of time
• Friendlier guidance on the conversation itself

That conversation matters. Our post on why your family needs a digital access plan can help you frame it. You can also learn how to prepare your digital accounts for family before that talk.

Thoughtful sharing, done safely

When we think about any family sharing workflow, security leads the way. Sharing access is exactly where things can go wrong if a tool is careless.

So our approach is steady. We would rather take our time and get the safety right than rush a feature that creates risk. Any sharing improvements will keep our zero-knowledge design intact and keep you in control of who can see what.

To be clear, we are not promising specific multi-person features or a launch window. We are saying it is a real area of focus, and we are exploring it carefully.

You can see how the handoff works today on our account transfer page.

Tools for Advisors and Professionals

Trust Blocks is not only for individuals. Financial advisors, estate attorneys, and elder-care professionals recommend it to the people they serve.

These pros often spot a gap. Their clients have careful plans for money and property, but nothing for their digital lives. Trust Blocks helps fill that gap.

So strengthening our advisor tools roadmap is an important theme.

Helping advisors help clients

Advisors have told us what would make Trust Blocks more useful in their practice. We are listening closely.

Directions we are exploring on the advisor tools roadmap include:

• Clearer materials advisors can share during client conversations
• Simpler ways to introduce Trust Blocks as part of a broader plan
• Better resources that explain digital estate planning in plain terms

We want advisors to feel that recommending Trust Blocks reflects well on them. That means a calm, trustworthy experience for their clients from the very first screen.

Respecting the advisor relationship

One principle guides everything in our advisor tools roadmap. The advisor's relationship with their client comes first.

Trust Blocks is the tool in the background. The advisor stays the trusted guide. Our job is to make that easy, not to get in the way.

If you are a professional, you can learn more on our advisors page. Our posts on helping advisors lead better digital legacy conversations and on introducing Trust Blocks to clients go deeper.

Stronger Educational Resources

A tool is only as good as people's understanding of it. Many folks have never thought about their digital life as something to plan for.

So a steady part of the Trust Blocks roadmap is education. Helpful, honest content that explains the why, not just the how.

Learning that fits real life

We want our guides to feel like a calm friend explaining things, not a manual.

Some directions we are exploring:

• Short, focused explainers for common questions
• Clearer walk-throughs for each part of the app
• More content for the people in a Transfer Contact role
• Practical examples drawn from real situations

Our blog already covers a lot of ground. Posts like what happens to online accounts when you die and a simple system for managing passwords, documents, and devices are good examples of where we want to keep going.

Helping the people who step in

A part of the roadmap we care about deeply is supporting Transfer Contacts. These are people who may be using Trust Blocks during a hard, emotional time.

We want clear, gentle guidance for that moment. Plain steps. Reassurance. No jargon. Our helpers page is where that support lives, and it is an area we plan to keep improving.

Devices and Digital Legacy Planning

Two more areas round out the picture. Both are already in Trust Blocks, and both have room to grow.

Devices

Your phones, tablets, computers, smart home gear, and WiFi all matter. A Transfer Contact who cannot unlock a device cannot do much.

We are looking at ways to make device entries clearer and more useful, including better guidance for computers and mobile devices. The aim is simple. Make sure the people who need access can actually get in.

Digital Legacy

The Digital Legacy area is where you plan the bigger picture. Who manages accounts. What devices get decommissioned. What files get shared. What final conversations and financial matters need attention.

We want to keep making this section feel less heavy. Clearer prompts. Gentler language. A sense that you are doing something kind for your family, not filling out paperwork.

You can explore this today through guides like account management and financial matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these features guaranteed or scheduled?

No. This roadmap shares directions we are exploring, not promises. We are not announcing firm dates, versions, or prices, and any of these ideas may change as we learn more.

Will new features change how my data is protected?

No. Our zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted design is a hard rule. Anything we build must keep that promise, and the company will never see your stored secrets.

Can I suggest something for the roadmap?

Yes, and we hope you do. The best ideas come from people using the app. You can reach us through our support page and tell us what would help most.

What does the Transfer Contact role mean again?

Your Transfer Contact is the trusted person who receives access to your digital information when you cannot manage it yourself. They are central to how Trust Blocks works today and to much of what we are exploring next.

Do I need to wait for new features to get started?

Not at all. Trust Blocks already helps you protect the essentials, organize your accounts and devices, and name a Transfer Contact. Starting now means future improvements simply build on the work you have already done.
