Let go, gently.

How it works

1. Photograph it. Snap a picture of something you’re ready to part with.
2. Decide. Donate, sell or recycle. Or, deliberately and sparingly, give it to someone with the story behind it.
3. See it through. Track what’s decided, in progress and done.

Kinder to the people you love

Passing things on can feel like the caring choice, but a houseful of heirlooms can become a burden for the people who receive them. Inspired by the Swedish idea of döstädning, Unburden makes donating, selling and recycling the natural default, and keeps gifts few and meaningful.

For things you’re keeping for now, an optional letter of wishes lets you note who you’d like to have them. It’s a record of your wishes, not a legal document, and only works alongside a will that refers to it.
