Sunday. 10pm. Lights dimming on the automation you wrote.
You picture the family standing in the hall, unable to unlock the front door.
If you died tomorrow, the house literally locks your family out.
Smart locks tied to your phone. Alarm linked to your email. Cameras, thermostat, doorbell, Wi-Fi, all configured under one account. The house keeps running its schedule, the schedule you wrote, and nobody else can change a single line of it.
What only you know
Most households quietly run on one person.
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
None of this is in a drawer. None of it is in your partner's phone. It is all in your head.
If you went silent tomorrow
Here is what unravels.
Day 1
The smart lock battery warning pings your phone. Nobody else sees it. The lock stops accepting fingerprints by Friday.
Day 3
Router reboots after a power cut. The Wi-Fi password is in a vault only you can open. The whole house goes offline.
Week 2
The heating schedule misfires on the cold snap. Your family stands in a freezing kitchen trying to find an override that does not exist outside your account.
Month 1
A camera certificate expires. The alarm trips at 3am. The monitoring company tries to call your phone. Nobody can stop the siren without your login.
By next month, your partner is firefighting. Not grieving. Firefighting.

What you actually do
Ten minutes today. One tap a month. That is the whole thing.
- Step 1
Write what your family would need
Home Assistant login, the smart lock backup codes, the router admin password, the alarm PIN, where the Pi lives. Short notes work fine.
- Step 2
Name two trusted people as witnesses
Your partner, a neighbour, a tech-savvy friend. If we ever stop hearing from you, we ask them separately to confirm.
- Step 3
One tap a month, that is the whole job
We send one short email a month. You tap once. If you stop tapping, we wait, try again, and only then start the verified delivery.

£6 a month.
Less than a gym you don't go to. Cheaper than the streaming bundle you forgot you have.

What we never do
Trust is the product. These four lines are why.
We never read your words
No human reads what you write. No AI is trained on it. Encrypted at rest, the honest version.
Two humans must confirm
We do not deliver on a missed email. Two witnesses you named must, separately, attest. No exceptions.
We never sell your data
Not anonymised, not aggregated, not under any future ownership change. It is in the terms in black and white.
We never assume your beliefs
Religion, culture, what you call the people you named. You write the words. We deliver them, unedited.
