Making Life Easier for Mac Users
I heard about you when trying to find a free screen shot capture utility [Screenshot Captor]. I write user guides as a small part of my job, and I love that I could get such a useful program for the PC (my mac has one inbuilt hehe). Looking through your catalogue since donating, there seem to be a few others that might be very useful to take the edge off having to use a PC all day. So my paltry donation (I'm a underpaid trainee) probably wont cover the use I get from your site.

Family/Household Personal Information Organizer/Manager ?

I'm looking for an application which helps me organize a whole bunch of misc information which might fall into the category of "if I fall ill or die" such as:
  • Personal details
  • Health History
  • Financial Infromation (account numbers, balances, urls, account access passwords, etc.)
  • Safe Deposit boxes, info
  • Safe Location/combo
  • Insurance Policy Details
  • Mortgage Details
  • Ongoing Bills
  • home asset inventory (pics, serials)
  • Passwords
  • Diary, wishes

I'm thinking the scope is simply too broad for any single software but I'd like to have everything in one place.  I suppose I can use something like MS OneNote (I have inventory already in Excel) but thought perhaps someone might know of something that might fit the bill.

Another fantastic idea.. Love to hear what people come up with here..
I think one thing to realize is that such a "program" or just folder structure, could be useful not just in organizing such material, but in reminding users what information they should make accessible.

In other words, i wonder if what would be best is simply a directory tree with some readme's in it, that a person could download and attempt to fill with info (files, images, etc)., and just tell your loved ones about it's existence.
