In development · launching soon
InCase keeps your accounts, insurance details, document locations and final messages in an encrypted vault. If you stop checking in, the people you trust receive what you chose to leave them.
Check-in
Every 30 daysStill here?
One tap tells InCase all is well.
Three steps, set up once and revisited when life changes.
Accounts, policies, where the documents are, who to call, and the letters you would want read. Guided prompts help you start without staring at a blank page.
Add one or more trusted contacts and decide what each person can see. A partner might get everything; a sibling might only get the medical card and a contact list.
InCase asks for a simple check-in on a schedule you set. If you stop responding for the period you choose, and reminders go unanswered, your contacts are given access.
The features below describe the planned product. Details may change as we test with real people.
Designed around end-to-end encryption, so your entries are encrypted on your device before they are stored. We will publish the technical design before launch so it can be reviewed.
A dead man's switch you control: pick the interval, the grace period and how many reminders you get before anything is released. Pause it any time you travel.
Give different people different sections. Contacts only learn what you have shared with them, and only when the conditions you set are met.
A short card with allergies, medications, conditions and emergency contacts, with a QR code you can print or keep on your lock screen. You decide which fields are on it.
Checklists for the things people usually forget: recurring bills, digital subscriptions, pet care, safe-deposit boxes, who has a spare key.
Write letters to the people you love, to be delivered only if the switch is triggered. Edit or delete them whenever your life changes.
Anyone whose absence would leave someone else guessing. Which, quietly, is most of us.
Early access
We are still building and testing. Join the waitlist and we will email you when early access opens.
In the meantime, our free guides will help you put a plan together with nothing more than a notebook.
Honest answers about a product that does not exist yet.
Not yet. InCase is in development. This site explains what we are building and hosts free guides you can use today, even without the app.
The planned design uses end-to-end encryption: entries are encrypted on your device, and the service stores only encrypted data. We are not claiming any certification or audit today. Before launch we intend to publish how the encryption and key-sharing work so that independent people can review it.
False triggers are the main risk of any dead man's switch, so the design leans cautious: you choose a long interval, you get several reminders through different channels, and there is a grace period before anything is released. You can also pause the switch for trips or hospital stays.
No. Contacts are only notified that you have added them. They receive access to the sections you assigned only after the check-in period, reminders and grace period have all passed without a response from you.
No. InCase is for practical information and personal messages. A will, power of attorney and other legal documents should be prepared according to the laws where you live, usually with a qualified professional. InCase can tell your family where those documents are.
You can note which accounts exist and how to reach them, but for day-to-day passwords a dedicated password manager with an emergency access feature is usually the better tool. Our guide on sharing passwords with family covers the options.
