Dead man switches for the real world
Failsafe.app holds your sensitive information in an encrypted vault and delivers it automatically — to exactly the right people, at exactly the right time. Passwords, crypto keys, legal documents, business continuity plans. Protected until the moment they're needed.
Failsafe handles the sensitive information that has no backup plan.
Master passwords, account logins, and recovery codes delivered to your family or executor if something happens to you.
Seed phrases, wallet keys, and exchange access — sent only when your designated key holders agree the time has come.
Instructions, account lists, and personal messages that should only reach the right hands at the right time.
Infrastructure credentials, runbooks, and emergency contacts automatically surfaced when your team needs them most.
Set it up once. Let it run silently. It only acts when it needs to.
Choose a check-in switch (triggers if you stop checking in) or a key holder switch (triggers when trusted people activate their keys).
Add recipients with personal messages and attach files. Everything is encrypted with AES-256 before it ever leaves your browser.
When triggered, each recipient receives a unique secure link — the only way to access their information. No one else can read it.
Pick the model that fits your situation.
You check in on a schedule — daily, weekly, monthly. If you stop checking in and the grace period expires, the switch fires and your information is delivered.
Best for: personal contingency planning, solo operators, digital estate management.
Assign trusted key holders. When a quorum of them activates their keys within a set window, the switch triggers. No single person can fire it alone.
Best for: multi-party authorization, business continuity, crypto inheritance.
Files are encrypted by our servers before storage, then encrypted again by AWS — every layer of storage is protected.
Every file is encrypted client-side before storage using the same standard trusted by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Files are encrypted a second time by Amazon Web Services at rest — two independent layers of AES-256 protection.
All .app domains are HSTS preloaded by Google. The service will not load over any unencrypted connection — ever.
Each recipient gets a unique token link. There is no shared access — if a link is lost, no one else can retrieve the information.
