My dad died on a Tuesday. By Friday we'd given up on his iCloud.

H., remembering 2023. He built LegadoVault for his own kids.

What survivors usually have to do

Without a plan, your family becomes a detective agency the worst week of their lives.

  1. 01

    Hunt for passwords no one wrote down.

    The iCloud that holds every family photo. The email that has every receipt and contract. The 2FA codes that lived only in someone's head. Apple's recovery process for a deceased account takes months and often fails.

  2. 02

    Guess at wishes that were never said.

    Burial or cremation. Which song at the service. The friend who should be told first. The estranged sibling who should be told at all. These get decided by the most exhausted person in the room.

  3. 03

    Reconstruct a financial life from envelopes.

    The accountant who has the tax records. The brokerage account from 2009. The safe-deposit-box combination written on the back of a bank statement. Months of mail, calling 1-800 numbers and explaining the death every time.

How it actually works

Three steps. Then you stop thinking about it.

  1. Step 01

    Seal your vault

    Add passwords, letters, documents, and final instructions. Everything is encrypted on your device with a master password only you know.

  2. Step 02

    Choose your people

    Name the trusted contacts who should receive access. Decide what each person sees. Decide what they don't.

  3. Step 03

    Check in when you can

    A gentle reminder on your schedule. If you stop checking in, your vault opens to exactly the right people.

What people leave

Every story is different. The questions are the same.

The letters

“Open this one on the morning of your wedding. Open this one when you finish college. The last one is for the day you become a parent. I'll be there for all of them, in a way.”

A parent writes future-dated messages. A spouse records a goodbye. A friend leaves an apology twenty years overdue.

The passwords

The iCloud full of family photos. The crypto wallet that has been earning quietly for a decade. The 2FA codes nobody else has.

The instructions

Funeral wishes your family should not have to guess. The accountant who has the tax files. The safe-deposit-box combination written nowhere else.

Common questions

Things people ask before they sign up

What happens if I forget my master password?
When you set up your vault, you generate a one-time recovery key. Save it somewhere safe (printed, in a password manager, or with your estate documents). If you ever forget your master password, the recovery key lets you set a new one without losing any data. If you lose both, your vault is cryptographically sealed forever and we cannot recover it. That is the point of zero-knowledge encryption.
What happens when I die. How does my family actually access the vault?
You designate trustees while you are alive and give each of them a passphrase (privately. We never see it). If you stop checking in with the app for the duration you configure, we email and text your trustees a secure link. They enter the passphrase you shared with them and access whatever you chose to leave them. We verify nothing about death itself, just your inactivity.
You say zero-knowledge. What does that actually mean?
Every piece of content in your vault is encrypted in your browser using keys derived from your master password. We only ever receive ciphertext. No LegadoVault employee, no subpoena, no database leak can decrypt your data, because the keys never leave your device. The technical details are on our Security page.
How much does it cost?
There is a free tier that includes core Legacy Release, 10 vault items, and 1 trustee. Paid plans are $9 per month or $90 per year, or $299 as a one-time lifetime payment (so your heirs never inherit a subscription bill). See the Pricing page for full details.
What if I travel or get hospitalized. Will my vault get released by accident?
You set the inactivity threshold (default 30 days). Before release, we send multiple warning emails and SMS messages across several days so you can check in and reset the clock. You can also pause the Legacy Release any time. Set it longer than your longest reasonable offline stretch.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Any time, from Settings, Subscription, Manage billing. Your data stays accessible regardless of your payment status. We never lock you out of your own vault because of a failed payment. You can also choose the lifetime plan and never see a bill again.

The best gift you can leave is not a guessing game.
