Beyond Inheritance
A Complete Digital Legacy Platform Built Around You
One platform for everything that matters. Store documents, schedule messages, prepare for emergencies, and protect credentials—all in one secure place. Your family gets access automatically when they need it.
Simple Check-Ins
Stay connected with simple check-ins. Login, email, or SMS—whatever fits your life. If you stop checking in, trustees are alerted and can verify your status.
Time Capsules
Record birthday messages, graduation letters, anniversary surprises. Delivered on schedule, guaranteed—even if you can't be there.
Emergency Access
Hospitalized or traveling? Create temporary access links for trusted contacts. They request access, you control the timing. You're always in command.
Credentials & Secrets
Store and inherit passwords, API keys, and access instructions. Everything protected with the same encryption as your documents. Your sensitive information stays safe and secure.
Flexible Packages
Create different packages for different people. Some get financial documents, others get family photos. Lock in specific files or grant access to your entire vault.
Built to Last
Here for the Long Haul, Not the Quick Exit.
A digital inheritance platform must outlive its users. That's why we're bootstrapped, profitable, and free from investor exit pressure.

We chose boring on purpose. PostgreSQL has been rock-solid since 1996. AWS S3 since 2006 with eleven nines of durability. Our costs scale linearly with no surprises. When your files need to arrive decades from now, you want predictable, not cutting-edge.

Why We Built This
We Built This For Our Families First
If something happened tomorrow, would they know where to find everything?
The thought of leaving chaos behind is what got us started. Bank logins scattered across apps. Insurance policies buried in email. Photos locked behind passwords no one else knows. Instructions we kept meaning to write down but never did.
Sure, we could write it all on a piece of paper and leave it in a drawer. But passwords change. Accounts get added. And honestly - we don't want anyone accessing this stuff while we're still here. The whole point is sharing everything, but only when it matters.
What Would We Want Our Families To Have?
The practical stuff - account access, insurance info, instructions for the house. But also the personal things. Letters we never sent. Photos we meant to organize. A video for when they need it most - things no password manager was built for.
You're the one who knows where everything is.
In one afternoon, you don't have to be the only one.

Your Security, Your Choice
We Don't All Lock Our Doors The Same Way.
We offer server-side encryption for people who are comfortable with us managing their keys, and client-side encryption for those who'd rather hold the keys themselves. Either way, all your data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256.
Client-Side Encryption
Zero-Knowledge Privacy

Your files are encrypted in your browser before upload. We use Shamir Secret Sharing to split your master key into 3 shares - giving you privacy, convenience, AND recovery options.
The privacy-first choice. Even if we're hacked, your data stays private. We mathematically cannot read your files.
Zero-knowledge: we cannot see your files

How Security Works Here, And Where You Shouldn't Trust Us (Or Anyone)
We designed Inheritfy around one principle: your encryption keys should never transit our servers. Not as a feature, but as a constraint that shaped every architectural decision. The result: we can't read your files. Under subpoena, we can only hand over encrypted data we cannot decrypt. That's not policy; it's math. But this doesn't make us bulletproof. You're trusting our client code to protect keys on your device, and we build that trust by being transparent about how we work.
Crypto seed phrases are different. Most secrets have layers of protection: MFA, fraud detection, account recovery. Seed phrases have none. One exposure means instant, irreversible loss. That's why we believe they belong in offline cold storage, not with us. Use Inheritfy to store instructions for accessing them.
