I wrote this Go project to implement a dead man’s switch that didn’t rely on cron jobs, timers, databases, etc on the infra it runs on. Deadcheck integrates to PagerDuty and keeps a long running incident snoozed until expected check-in times where it’ll alert unless a check-in occurs.

Hey there HN – I'm Mohamed, CEO here at Posterity. I've seen a lot of threads lately discussing how stuff can be transferred safely to significant others and spouses.
