Killswitch is a daily place for notes and files. This page is one thing people keep there. The handoff is the same.
The Things Only You Know, Ready for Your Family
Every household has one person who knows where everything is: the accounts, the insurance, the mortgage details, the photos. Killswitch is where you write that down. It stays encrypted and private while you check in, and reaches the people you chose if you can't.

The problem with the family binder
Most families either have nothing written down, or a binder in a drawer that was last updated years ago. Paper goes stale, a shared document is readable by anyone who finds it, and a safe deposit box helps no one at 2am. What a family actually needs is a living place for this information: easy to update when a password changes, private until the moment it matters.
You decide what gets stored and who receives what: account details for your spouse, a letter for each kid, the practical notes about the house for whoever handles it. It stays encrypted at rest and in transit until it's actually needed.
How Killswitch works for a family
- Write down what only you know. Where the accounts are, how the bills get paid, who to call about the mortgage, where the photos live. Notes and documents, kept together.
- Leave the personal things too. A letter for your spouse, a journal for the kids, a video message in your own voice. Not just logistics.
- Pick who receives what. Each person you choose gets exactly the items you assigned them, nothing else. They don't need an account.
- Check in on your own schedule. From daily to monthly or longer, whatever fits your life. Checking in is one tap.
- Nothing is sent while you're fine. Miss check-ins, and reminders go out across a grace period you chose. Only if you never respond does delivery happen.
Different things for different people
The finances to your spouse, a letter to each kid, the house notes to your brother. Every person receives only what you assigned them.
No account needed to receive
Your family gets a plain email with secure links. They can view and keep what you left them without signing up for anything.
Encrypted until it matters
Everything you store is encrypted at rest and in transit, and every access is logged.
Easy to keep current
A password changes, you update a note. No reprinting a binder. The copy your family would receive is always the latest one.
Run a test fire first
Verify exactly what each person would receive, before the switch ever goes live.
A forgotten password loses nothing
Password reset is a normal email flow. Your family's handoff never depends on you remembering a master password.
What does my family actually receive?
A plain email from Killswitch, written to be understood on a hard week: your personal message first, then a secure link for each item you assigned to that person. No app to install, no account to create, and accidental release is rare because reminders go out across your whole grace period first.
