About Dead Man’s Switch
A Dead Man’s Switch is for the moment nobody likes to say out loud: you’re the one who knows the bills, the insurance, the school stuff, the pet vet, where the papers are. You pick how often you check in. You show up on time and nothing happens. If you don’t, you get reminders and real time to fix it. If you’re still gone after that, encrypted messages and files go to the small list of people you chose, so they’re not guessing in a crisis. Some people are mainly thinking about family at a distance, a partner, or an adult child. Others add a layer for recovery pointers and careful handoffs, or a short “if I’m not here, wind this down” note for a cofounder or contractor. Different contacts can get different instructions. It is not a will and it does not wait for legal proof of death. It fires when you stop checking in past the grace period you set.
Product Insights
Dead Man’s Switch is a web-based automation tool that delivers encrypted files and messages to designated contacts if a user fails to check in within a custom grace period. It serves as a digital safety net for critical information, bypassing legal delays by triggering based on inactivity.
- Supports multiple contacts with differentiated delivery instructions.
- Provides automated reminders and a customizable grace period before firing.
- Bridges the gap between data privacy and accessibility without requiring legal proof of death.
- Offers a rapid onboarding process taking under five minutes to configure.
Ideal for: Non-technical users, founders, and solopreneurs who need to ensure partners or family members access critical documents and recovery pointers during a crisis.

This is a really cool idea, especially when someone has a super niche job. I feel like this could be paired with a service like scribe to have a dossier of a bunch of procedures in event that someone is gone.
This is a clever idea, one that everyone hopes they never need, but should always have
@kmazanec it is and its something im sure most people never even think about

Thank you needed this 🥺
If you want to try it, use the code PEERPUSH70 for a huge discount. I’d love to know who you would pick as your contact and what you would send them first. Is it just a quick note or a full checklist?
I built this because of a simple fact: in most homes, one person knows where everything is. They handle the subscriptions, insurance, school logins, and the vet records.
@alcazarsec If you are in a relationship, you probably share this with your partner. If you live alone, you might pick a sibling or a best friend.
@alcazarsec The app works quietly. You set a schedule to check in. If you miss a check in, the app nudges you. If you still don't respond after a set amount of time, your info gets sent to the person you chose.
@alcazarsec You decide what they get, whether it is a simple note, a list of contacts, or a document with all your important details.
@alcazarsec People also use it for business handovers or passing on security codes. It is the same tool, just for different tasks.
