A Dead Man's Switch for Your Files
Store encrypted files and automatically deliver them to people you trust when you stop checking in. You control the encryption, you control the timeline, you control who gets what.
How It Works
1. Store
Upload documents to your encrypted vault
2. Configure
Set up trustees, beneficiaries, and release conditions
3. Protect
Guardian monitors through regular check-ins via login, email, or SMS. If you don't respond within your set timeframe, packages are automatically released to beneficiaries.
Regular check-ins enable automatic delivery
Your Family's Bus Factor is 1
You know all the passwords. You manage all the accounts. You're the one who knows where everything is. Life insurance policies, bank passwords, crypto wallets, broker accounts — all locked in your head or password manager.
That's the "bus factor" — when one person holds all the critical information. If something happens to you (like getting hit by a bus), everyone else is locked out.
Inheritfy fixes this. Simple dead man's switch for your files. You stop checking in, your files automatically reach the right people. That's it.
Four Steps. That Easy.
Upload. Configure. Protect. Automatic release when verified. No technical expertise needed.
Upload to Encrypted Vault
Upload files to your encrypted vault (S3-backed, AES-256). Choose server-side encryption or client-side with keys you control.
Add Trustees & Beneficiaries
Add trustees who verify your status (Argon2-hashed verification codes). Assign beneficiaries who receive packages. Full control.
Configure Verification Policy
Set your check-in schedule. System runs state machine: ALIVE → AT_RISK → PRESUMED_DEAD. Automated escalation with grace periods.
Automatic Release
Upon verified death, packages automatically release to beneficiaries. No courts, no delays. Optional multi-trustee confirmation for sensitive packages.
