Pass on the business if you go quiet
Indie hackers and one-person companies: you hold Stripe, deploy keys, the registrar, and support. If you cannot work, that knowledge needs to reach someone on purpose.

When you are the only one who knows
MRR or retainers often pay rent and school fees. Family may not know which entity bills what, or how to freeze charges if you disappear. If you want the product to keep helping people, someone needs a map, not a scavenger hunt.
Why not hand everything over today?
Living copies of every credential expose you both. A dead man's switch stores instructions encrypted until you miss check-ins through the grace period you set. People you trust hear from the system when silence actually looks wrong, not every Tuesday.
What to put in
Keep it practical. Split by contact if you want (ops vs family finances).
- Banking, recurring bills, payroll or dividends, tax and bookkeeper contacts
- Registrar, DNS, hosting, deploy and rollback
- Repos, CI, API keys, or where the vault lives and how to open it
- Stripe (or payments), largest customers, support channels, notice periods
- A short “first 48 hours” checklist: who to email, what to pause, who to call
Not a will
This does not replace estate planning or business succession paperwork where your jurisdiction requires it. It is an operational backstop: timed delivery of what you wrote so people are not guessing in the dark.
How it works
What is a Dead Man's Switch?
The short version.
Wallets, password vaults, legal docs, business credentials: all locked behind what only you know. If something happens to you, your people can lose access for good.
You pick a schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly. Check in on time and nothing happens. Miss one and we remind you on every channel you set before we do anything.
Miss a check-in and you get a grace period with stronger reminders over time. Lost your phone or offline? You have time to respond. The switch only fires when you really do not.
If the grace period runs out with no response, your encrypted messages and files go to your chosen contacts. Whatever you configured (recovery phrases, credentials, instructions) gets delivered.
