A calm place to manage the logistics that pile up after someone dies: accounts, paperwork, and people, shared across a family when no one has the bandwidth to lead.
When someone dies, their family inherits a second job overnight: closing accounts, forwarding mail, canceling services, and notifying dozens of institutions, each with its own process. It lands on whoever is least able to carry it.
MissBetty turns that scramble into a shared, guided checklist. Tasks are broken down, assigned across the family, and tracked in one place, so no one carries the whole weight and nothing slips.
Built from firsthand experience of post-loss logistics and validated through interviews with recently bereaved families.
Designed for people with no spare attention: one clear next task, a gentle tone, and zero clutter.
Coordination is the hard part, so the family, not the individual, became the unit the product is built around.
Shipping iteratively to real families, letting their feedback shape the roadmap.
Surfaced a single next action instead of an overwhelming master list, so progress feels possible even on the hardest days.
Copy, color, and pacing were tuned to feel calm and human, never transactional, during an acutely vulnerable moment.
Every task can be claimed, reassigned, or shared, so the load is distributed instead of defaulting to one person.
MissBetty is live and shipping at app.heymissbetty.com, with new coordination features rolling out to families in early access.
Designing for grief taught me that restraint is empathy. The most important decisions were about what to leave out. Every step removed is one less thing a grieving family has to carry.
Clinical paperwork processing platform, designed end to end.
