Fill a vault
Upload files, letters, photos or instructions from the web — or simply email them to your vault's private address. Everything is encrypted the moment it arrives.
Encrypted legacy vaults
Some messages can only
be delivered after you.
LegacyRelay keeps your most important files, letters and passwords in encrypted vaults — and delivers them to the people you choose, on a date you set, or when you're no longer here to press send.

“A letter for my daughter's 18th birthday.”
“Where the keys, deeds and accounts are.”
“Photos my family has never seen.”
“Goodbyes I never managed to say out loud.”
How it works
Three steps. Then life goes on.

Choose who & when
Pick the recipients and the trigger: a specific future date, or delivery after your death — confirmed carefully, never by accident.

We stand watch
Periodic “I'm fine” check-ins keep your vaults sealed. If you stop responding, a patient, multi-step process makes sure — and only then, your vaults are delivered.
What goes in a vault
The things your family will need — and the things only you can give
Not sure what belongs in a legacy vault? Here's what people keep in theirs. Passwords and paperwork make the hard days easier; the letters and photos are what they'll keep forever.
Passwords & access
The master password to your password manager. Two-factor recovery codes, a crypto wallet's seed phrase, the PIN to the safe, the email account that can reset everything else.
Legal & financial
Where the will is kept. Bank, pension and investment accounts, insurance policies, property deeds, the accountant's number, debts that must not be forgotten.
Letters & messages
A note for a wedding day that hasn't come yet. The goodbye you couldn't say out loud. Advice, apologies, the story of how you and their mother met.
Photos & recordings
The album no one has seen. A voice message, a video, the family recipe in your own handwriting — memories that would otherwise vanish with a locked phone.
Practical instructions
Where the spare keys are. How to cancel the subscriptions, wind down the business, care for the pets, and find the life-insurance paperwork when nobody knows to look.
Your digital life
Access to social accounts, domains and websites, the photos in the cloud — and your wishes for what to memorialize, hand over, or quietly close.
What's inside
Built for the things that must not be lost
Sealed by design
Vaults are write-only. After a short verification window, not even you can open them again — they stay sealed until delivery. A legacy vault, not another cloud drive.
No single point of trust
Files are encrypted with a key held in a separate, isolated system — and a vault is never unlocked without an independent third service authorizing it. No single server, and no employee, can open your vault alone.
Scheduled delivery
A birthday, an anniversary, a graduation. Set the date and the vault arrives exactly then — even decades from now.
A careful dead man's switch
Gentle check-in emails confirm you're okay. Missed check-ins escalate slowly — reminders, alerts, a long grace period — so nothing is ever released by mistake.
Letters, notes & passwords
Write letters right in the app, and store passwords and account instructions alongside your files — all sealed and delivered the same way.
Email-in uploads
Every vault gets its own private email address. Forward that letter, that scan, that voice note — it's encrypted and filed automatically.
Security architecture
Three systems.
No one can act alone.
Your files live in a storage service that only ever sees encrypted data. The key to open them is held by a delivery service on a private network that stores nothing at all. And an independent authorization service decides when a vault may be unlocked — the key holder won't act without its approval. Only when a delivery is legitimately authorized do the pieces meet — briefly, in memory, and never again.
- AES-256 encryption per vault, unique keys
- Keys wrapped with 4096-bit RSA held by an isolated service
- Every unlock needs independent authorization — no server acts alone
- Services trust each other only through mutually-authenticated, certificate-pinned connections — even on our private network
- Plaintext keys are never written to disk — ever
- Immutable audit log of every decryption event
- Encrypted, independently-stored backups, verified by restore drills
