Gather what matters

Map every meaningful account, asset and document in one private, encrypted place.

Your vault becomes the single source of truth for everything you have built, saved and cherished online. Add email accounts, social profiles, crypto wallets, banking, subscriptions, cloud storage, domains, property records and insurance. We never store raw passwords — only locations, recovery paths and instructions so your loved ones know where to look and what to do.

  • 10 dedicated categories covering 95% of digital life
  • Guided wizards for crypto, banking and cloud storage
  • Import references from your password manager (read-only)
  • Personal Readiness Score updates as you complete sections

02

Confirm your identity

Complete a secure identity verification so your vault is bound to the real you.

Identity verification is the cornerstone of trust. By confirming who you are with a government-issued document, you ensure that only you — and later, the people you authorize — can ever access what you have protected. Our team reviews every submission manually, with the same care a private bank would apply.

  • Bank-grade KYC review by our dedicated team
  • Encrypted document handling with strict retention limits
  • One-time setup, valid for the lifetime of your account
  • Required before adding beneficiaries or configuring release

03

Protect with intention

Upload documents, record messages, assign beneficiaries and set permissions.

Seal your will, mandates, insurance policies and personal letters in an encrypted vault. Record video messages for those you love most. Define per-beneficiary permissions so each person sees only what you intend — nothing more, nothing less. Every file is encrypted at rest and protected by multi-factor authentication.

  • End-to-end encrypted document vault (EU hosted)
  • Granular per-beneficiary visibility rules
  • Tamper-proof audit log of every change
  • Video & voice messages releasable individually

04

Appoint trusted guardians

Select the trusted contacts who can initiate the release process when the time comes.

Choose 1–3 people you trust implicitly — a partner, sibling, close friend or advisor. They cannot browse your vault; they simply hold the authority to start a verified, audited workflow if you become unreachable. You can update this circle at any time, and every appointment is logged for transparency.

  • 1–3 trusted contacts, fully editable over time
  • Zero vault visibility — they only hold the trigger key
  • Instant revocation if circumstances change
  • Notification alerts on every appointment or change

05

Release with certainty

When a verified life event occurs, your beneficiaries receive exactly what you authorized.

A trusted guardian initiates the workflow. KeepAfter.me validates the event through identity checks, document review and the waiting period you configured. Approved beneficiaries then receive timed, granular access to the specific items you assigned them — with a full audit trail and the peace of mind that nothing was left to chance.

  • Two-step emergency trigger with identity verification
  • Configurable waiting period (instantly cancellable by you)
  • Granular access tokens — per asset, per beneficiary
  • Full audit trail and post-event reporting
