Dead Man's Switch for digital legacy

Nothing important
should die with you

If you stop checking in, what you prepared goes to the people you chose only after reminders and your grace period run out.

Check in on your schedule. Daily, weekly, or monthly.
Reminders go out first. Email, Signal, or Telegram before anything sends.

Dead Man's Switch

What is a dead man's switch?

It is a check-in system for the things only you know. You pick a cadence, add trusted contacts, and leave the instructions, files, or messages they would need if you stopped answering.

1. Check in

Check in on your schedule.

Choose daily, weekly, or monthly check-ins based on how often you want a prompt.

2. Reminders first

Miss one and the system waits.

Reminders go out on email, Signal, or Telegram, then your grace period runs before anything sends.

3. Deliver only if needed

Contacts get only what you prepared.

Messages and files stay encrypted until the full reminder and grace sequence ends with no reply from you.

What people put in it

• Where accounts live, who to call, and how to reach the right documents.
• Recovery steps for passwords, vaults, wallets, or important admin access.
• Private notes or instructions for different contacts.

What keeps it practical

• Encrypted messages and files, with different material for each contact.
• Configurable grace periods so travel, illness, or a lost phone do not trigger delivery by accident.
• Test deliveries before you rely on the live switch.
