What it does
Killswitch ensures your important files reach the right people if something happens to you. Store encrypted documents, set a simple check-in schedule, and rest easy knowing your digital legacy is protected—and will be delivered automatically when needed.
Encrypt your will, insurance policies, and important documents. If something happens to you, Killswitch delivers them to your family automatically.
Your will, passwords, and final words — encrypted and ready. Killswitch checks in with you; if you stop answering, it delivers everything to the people you chose. No lawyers, no lockouts, no delays. Your notes and metadata are encrypted at rest; every transfer is protected in transit. You control what's shared and what's added to a deadman switch — and you can revoke access to any of it anytime. How it works → Your wife can't find the life insurance policy. Important documents locked in accounts she can't access. Your kids wait months in probate for account access. Lawyers charge thousands just to get started. Your family scrambles during their hardest moments. No plan, no access, no…from killswitch.app
