How it works

Four steps. About two minutes.

From your first secret to peace of mind — here’s exactly what happens, and what each screen looks like.

1Step 1

Add what matters

Store passwords, crypto seed phrases, bank details, documents, or a personal message. Everything is encrypted in your browser with AES‑256 before it ever leaves your device — we only ever see ciphertext.

Choose who receives it

Assign a trustee — a family member, partner, lawyer, or friend. They get an invite by email. Until they accept, the secret shows as “waiting”; once they confirm, it turns “confirmed”. You can skip and come back anytime.

Set your check‑in

Pick how often you check in — every 30 days, 90 days, up to 24 months. Simply logging in resets the timer. You’ll get friendly reminders by email and SMS before any deadline.

Your people receive it

If you miss your check‑in window — or a death certificate is approved — your trustees are notified automatically. Each one can open only the secrets you assigned to them, decrypted in their own browser.

Two ways the vault can open — never by accident

💓

Inactivity trigger

You set a check‑in window. If you miss it — after reminders at 50%, 75%, 90% and 99%, then a grace period — the vault opens for your trustees. Logging in at any point resets the clock.

📋

Death certificate

If you’ve enabled it, a trustee can upload an official certificate. It’s reviewed and, once approved, access is granted immediately — no waiting for the presence timer.
