A vault that becomes an inheritance, but only when it should.

Your vault, locked with a key only on your devices

When you sign up, your phone or laptop generates a private key. Your will and trust documents, your bank passwords, your letters: all of it is locked with that key before it ever leaves your device. The key never leaves your devices.

For the technically curious: AES-256 for items. A passphrase you set when you sign up unlocks the master key, and you can add a device passkey (Apple Keychain or Google Password Manager) for one-touch unlock. The passphrase never leaves your device. Built on the same modern encryption primitives trusted by secure messengers.

You name your successors

Pick a few people who'd handle your affairs if something happened: your spouse, an adult child, your attorney. By default everything goes to them; you can set exceptions item by item. They don't see anything until that day actually arrives.

A successor holds no keys and has nothing to do, you can even add someone silently, without notifying them. They only create a Vaulant account on the day they inherit.

You check in once in a while

Every month (or week, or quarter, your call), Vaulant emails you a short check-in. One tap and you're done. As long as you check in, your vault stays sealed and nothing ever happens.

Same email also asks one or two quick questions about your items: "is this bank account still active?", "is Sarah's number still right?", so what your people would inherit stays current without you ever having to come and "manage" the vault.

If you ever stop responding

We try every channel you've given us. Email, then a louder email, then a notification on your phone. Days go by. Weeks. We don't give up on you quickly. That's the whole point.

Only after the window you chose has passed, your successors are notified. Even then, nothing is released yet: there's a 14-day waiting period during which you can wave us off with a single tap if you're back.

The handoff

If the waiting period passes and you're truly unreachable, your successors receive exactly what you set aside for them. They see a kind welcome, the letter you wrote them, and the items you assigned, grouped so they know what to do first (call your lawyer, secure the home, contact the bank).

Everything you set aside is copied into a new vault that becomes theirs. They can read and download all of it free for 90 days, long enough to take what they need. After that they can keep the vault going with their own subscription, or simply export it all and walk away. Their copy is theirs.

Who holds the key that unlocks an inheritance is your choice: let Vaulant hold it (simplest: we can pass it on for you, but only after the waiting period and never your everyday vault), or name a custodian so the key stays entirely outside our reach until that day.
