UP is a platform where people document their unfinished work while alive — and when they pass, their profile becomes a memorial where the community steps in to complete what they left behind.
A platform with two states — one for the living, one for the remembered.
While you're alive, create your legacy profile. Post your unfinished projects, final wishes, and life stories — as many or as few as you like.
The community discovers your work. Interested people reach out. You guide them while you can — sharing knowledge, context, and care.
When you pass, your profile transitions to memorial state. Everything you shared is preserved. The community can leave memories and tributes.
Successors pick up the torch — completing your projects, fulfilling your wishes, and marking each one done. Your legacy is preserved in what they make.

"I never imagined my engineering degree would lead somewhere like this. Robert and I speak every Sunday over video call. He corrects my CAD drawings and tells me about his grandchildren. The device is now being tested in two villages outside Nakuru. I feel like I'm working on something that will outlast both of us."
"I've published food writing for years, but helping Lucia gave me something I'd been missing — a sense of permanence. We spent four months cooking together over video, measuring everything exactly as her mother had taught her. Her nonna's ragù is now in print. Lucia cried when she held the first copy. So did I."
"When I read James's curriculum I recognised immediately what he'd been trying to do — teach children to think, not just compute. We piloted it with my class last term. My students started asking questions I'd never heard before. James flew to India to see it. He stood at the back of my classroom and wept quietly."
