If you could not check in, would your family know what to do?
Create a private handoff vault for the personal messages, video notes, and letters your people may need one day — along with the account access and practical instructions that make everything easier to find. You choose who gets what, and when.
Not a legal will. A practical handoff — set up in 15 minutes.

Why we built this
“
Three months after we lost my father, we were going through his old files — the kind kept in a beat-up cabinet no one had opened in years. His handwriting, a few pages. Account numbers, the name of his attorney, the login to his email — and tucked at the back, a letter. Just for us.
We sat at the kitchen table and read it out loud. He had thought of everything — not because he knew something was coming, but because he loved us enough to think ahead.
That folder did more for our family than any will ever could.
AfterYou is that folder.
Say the things
you've been meaning to say.
Most people know what they want their family to hear. They just never find the right moment. AfterYou gives you a quiet 15 minutes and a guided set of prompts — so the words come, and the message gets recorded, encrypted, and sealed until it's needed.
Sample guided prompts
What memory would you most want them to carry?
What would you tell them during a hard moment in their life?
Is there anything you've never quite found the right words for — until now?
8 guided prompts total — choose the ones that feel right. No wrong answers.
Review and delete before saving — encrypted before it leaves your browser.
Current prompt
"What memory would you most want them to carry?"

What people protect
Six categories cover almost everything that matters.
Written letter
Words for a partner, parent, or child. A written message to accompany your video — or to stand alone. Time-released, delivered with dignity.
Password manager
Your 1Password or Bitwarden master password — the one key that unlocks every other account. Assign it to exactly one trusted person.
Business handoff
Domains, payroll, vendors, banking notes, client obligations. If you disappeared tomorrow, could anyone keep the business running for 30 days?
Account closures
Subscriptions, social accounts, and services to cancel. Save your family the grief tax of discovering mystery bills.
Custom items
A storage unit code. Where the safe is. The combination your spouse never knew. Anything you've been meaning to write down.
Crypto recovery
Leave recovery instructions — where the hardware wallet is, which exchange, who to call. Without storing the seed phrase itself.
Fifteen minutes now. Peace of mind for everyone later.
Then you check in once every 90 days and forget about it.
Add your handoff items
Final letters, video messages, passwords, business continuity notes — anything the people in your life may need one day. Encrypted in your browser before anything leaves your device.
Designate recipients
Assign specific items to specific people. Your spouse gets the passwords. Your attorney gets the business notes. Your sibling gets the letter.
Set your check-in cadence
Choose a rhythm: every 90 days, 6 months, or annually. One email. One click. That is your proof of life.
AfterYou handles the rest
If you miss a check-in and the 14-day grace period passes, recipients receive verified access — exactly what you assigned, nothing more.
Built to prevent accidents
What happens if you miss a check-in?
Nothing happens immediately. AfterYou runs a careful 14-day escalation through every channel before anything is released. You can stop it at any step.

A check-in reminder arrives in your inbox.
Click the link — done.
SMS alert
A text message is sent to your phone.

Final warning

Vault releases
Recipients receive verified access to exactly what you assigned.
Preventable at any prior step.
You own the timer. Your vault releases only when the 14-day grace period is fully exhausted — and you've had every opportunity to respond.

My husband handles everything — the insurance, the finances, the password to our internet router. I've asked him to write it down for years. This is the first time he's actually done something about it. I don't know how to describe how much lighter that feels.

I built two companies and never once wrote down what would happen to the business if something happened to me. Fifteen minutes with this and that conversation is finally over.

As an estate attorney I see families spending months untangling digital accounts. The problem is real — and it's completely preventable. This is the practical layer missing from every estate plan.
