An encrypted vault that reaches your people if you stop checking in
Inheritify is an encrypted digital legacy app for people who want the right person to find the right information when they cannot pass it on. You check in on a schedule, and if you stop, encrypted vault contents go to the recipients you chose.
What it does
You keep what your family would need in encrypted vaults and decide who receives each one. You check in on a schedule you set. If check-ins stop, the service sends email reminders, waits through a grace period, and then sends delivery links to your recipients.
- Vaults. Hold messages, credentials, notes and encrypted files.
- Recipients. Each person receives only the vaults you assigned to them.
- Check-ins. Set the interval, the grace period and the number of reminder steps.
- Languages. The interface is available in 14 languages.
Who it is for
It is for people who hold information that others would struggle to find, such as account access, documents, instructions and personal messages. It also suits people who keep their own crypto keys and want to leave recovery instructions. Inheritify delivers access to encrypted information. It does not transfer assets.
How it works
- Create a vault and add items. Your browser encrypts them before upload.
- Add recipients and assign them to vaults.
- Set a check-in interval and grace period, then arm delivery on a Personal or Family plan.
- Check in when reminded. You can pause the schedule at any time.
- If you miss check-ins, email reminders go out in steps, followed by the grace period.
- Each recipient then receives an email with a link. They enter the passphrase you shared separately, and their browser decrypts the contents.
How it handles data
By design, vault content and files are encrypted in the browser before upload. The key is derived from your vault passphrase, and Inheritify does not hold the passphrase. Recovery from backup therefore restores encrypted data, not plaintext.
The service can read what it needs to run, which is titles, filenames, recipient contact details and delivery settings.
Delivery links expire, and a recipient can request a fresh one. Deleting a vault removes its primary records and files.
Encryption has limits. Anyone with a delivery link can obtain the encrypted data, so a strong passphrase matters. A recipient keeps whatever they have already downloaded.
Plans
Personal and Family plans arm monitored check-ins and automatic delivery. A Starter plan lets you prepare one vault and one recipient before arming delivery. Questions about plans can go through our contact page.
Optional planning assistant
The app includes a planning assistant that helps you think through what your people would need. It is off unless configured. An outside AI provider processes the conversation, so the app asks you not to type passwords or secrets into it. It offers general guidance only.
Inheritify FAQ
Can Inheritify read my vault?
By design, vault content and files are encrypted in your browser before upload, and Inheritify does not hold your passphrase. The service can read titles, filenames, recipient contact details and delivery settings.
What happens if I am ill or away?
A missed check-in sends nothing at once. Reminders go out in steps, then a grace period follows. You can pause the schedule, and a check-in during delivery stops it.
Does it pass on my crypto or accounts?
No. It delivers access to the encrypted information you stored, such as instructions. It does not move assets.
