Automatic Deadman Switch

Set your check-in schedule. Miss it? Your designated beneficiaries automatically receive access to everything you've set up for them.

Encrypted Documents

Store important files like wills, deeds, insurance policies, and personal documents. Everything encrypted before upload.

Zero-Knowledge Encryption

Everything encrypted in your browser before upload. Not even our team can access your data. Your heirs inherit it, we never do.

How the Deadman Switch Works

1

Upload Your Documents

Add important documents, secure notes, and files. Everything is encrypted in your browser before upload.

2

Set Up Your Deadman Switch

Choose your beneficiaries and set a check-in schedule (weekly, monthly, or custom). Add multiple switches for different scenarios.

3

Regular Check-Ins

We'll remind you to check in before your deadline. Just click a link to confirm you're okay. Takes 5 seconds.

4

Automatic Transfer

Miss your deadline? After a grace period, your beneficiaries automatically receive secure access links. No lawyers, no courts, no hassle.

How Encryption Works with Deadman Switches

We use the same encryption architecture as 1Password and Bitwarden, adapted for automated inheritance.

Your Files Stay Encrypted

Files are encrypted in your browser before upload using AES-256-GCM. We never see your data - only you can decrypt it with your password.

Pre-Generated Access Keys

When you create a deadman switch, we generate unique access keys for each beneficiary. These keys are encrypted and stored securely until needed.

Triggered When You're Gone

If you miss your check-ins, the system automatically sends beneficiaries their unique access links. Each link only works for the intended recipient.

Server-Side Protection

Access keys are encrypted at rest using our server encryption. Even with database access, the keys are unreadable without our server secrets.

Per-Beneficiary Keys

Each beneficiary gets their own unique key. You can revoke access for specific people without affecting others.

Test Before You Trust

Use test mode to verify everything works. You'll receive a test email with working links to confirm your beneficiaries will get access.

The Trade-off: For automated inheritance to work when you're unavailable, we must store encrypted access keys. This is the same approach used by all major password managers for emergency access features.
