What you can leave
Most of it lives only in your head.
Pick what you write down. We hold it, encrypted. We send it, only if it has to be sent.
The root administration login for the central Home Assistant server
The primary account code for the smart security camera system
The override password for the digital thermostat and heating controls
The active subscription billing profile for household internet networks
The precise physical location of the master network router and fibre gateway switch
The setup pin codes for automated smart door locks
How it works
Three steps. About ten minutes.
Write your letters
To your daughter. To your partner. To your co-founder who needs the passwords file location. Each letter is sealed to one named person.
Answer one email a month
One tap tells us you are alive. Miss it and we remind you, then wait 30 days, then ask your witnesses.
We deliver, only when it is true
Two people you trust must both confirm before anything is sent. Each recipient gets a private, secure link to exactly what you left them.
The order that keeps you safe
Nothing is sent until all five, in order. Logging in once resets it to zero.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Is If You Die right for smart home admins?
Modern homes run on configurations that only one person truly understands. We make sure that if the household admin is suddenly absent, everyone else gets a precise technical handover so the lights stay on and the heating keeps working.
What can I leave for the people who depend on me?
You can write down anything only you know. For this, that often means the root administration login for the central home assistant server, the primary account code for the smart security camera system, the override password for the digital thermostat and heating controls, and anything else that would leave someone stuck if you were not here to ask.
What stops delivery if I am alive but busy?
Reminders, a 30 day waiting period, and two witnesses who must both confirm. Any login resets everything instantly.
Can you read my letters?
No. Letters are encrypted at rest and no human or AI ever reads them. We see who you write to, never what you wrote.
What do my recipients receive?
An email from us with a private, secure link to the letter you wrote for them. No account needed. They see only what was addressed to them.
Is this a will?
No. Letters are words, not legal documents. For property and money you still need a will. Many people keep both.
Free for the first letter. £6 a month when you need more.
