What is a Dead Man’s Switch?

The short version.

Wallets, password vaults, legal docs, business credentials: all locked behind what only you know. If something happens to you, your people can lose access for good.

You pick a schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly. Check in on time and nothing happens. Miss one and we remind you on every channel you set before we do anything.

Miss a check-in and you get a grace period with stronger reminders over time. Lost your phone or offline? You have time to respond. The switch only fires when you really do not.

If the grace period runs out with no response, your encrypted messages and files go to your chosen contacts. Whatever you configured (recovery phrases, credentials, instructions) gets delivered.

Features

Daily, weekly, or monthly. Change it whenever you want.

Messages and files encrypted at rest and in transit. Only your contacts see them after delivery.

Encrypted documents, recovery phrases, passwords. Any file you want to pass on.

Send test deliveries to your contacts before you go live.

We do not read your messages or files. End-to-end encrypted until delivery.
