Introducing DeadSender: Your Digital Legacy, Secured
DeadSender is a secure dead man's switch that ensures your important information reaches your loved ones when they need it most.
We’re excited to introduce DeadSender—a service we hope you never actually need to use, but one that provides invaluable peace of mind.
The Problem We’re Solving
When someone passes away unexpectedly, their loved ones are left picking up the pieces. Beyond the grief, there are practical problems: Where are the bank accounts? What are the passwords? Is there life insurance? Who needs to be contacted?
Families spend months—sometimes years—untangling the digital and financial lives of those who’ve passed. Important information is often lost forever. Businesses lose clients because there’s no handoff plan.
DeadSender exists to solve this problem.
How It Works
DeadSender is a “dead man’s switch” for your important information:
- Create encrypted messages containing account information, passwords, final wishes, or anything your loved ones might need.
- Set a check-in schedule that works for you—daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Check in regularly to confirm you’re okay.
- If you stop checking in and don’t respond to our prompts, your messages are delivered to your designated recipients.
It’s simple, but it can make an enormous difference for the people you leave behind.
Security First
We understand the sensitivity of the information you’re entrusting to us. That’s why we’ve built DeadSender with security at every layer:
- End-to-end encryption: Your messages are encrypted on your device before they reach our servers. We cannot read them.
- Zero-knowledge architecture: Your encryption keys never leave your devices.
- Multi-layer security: Add security questions, passcodes, and custom encryption for your most sensitive messages.
Even if our servers were compromised, attackers would find only encrypted data they cannot decrypt.
Who Is DeadSender For?
DeadSender is for anyone who wants to ensure their important information reaches the right people:
- For families: Share bank account access, insurance details, and the location of important documents with your spouse or children.
- For professionals: Ensure your clients have project handoff instructions and your employer has access to critical information.
- For journalists and activists: A true dead man’s switch for sensitive information that needs to be released if something happens to you.
