HeirVault stores encrypted docs and files for beneficiaries and opens access after check-ins and the waiting period. Executrix is a Swiss-oriented encrypted posthumous messaging product with check-in and executor modes. Both value client-side privacy; HeirVault is a full legacy vault with beneficiary claims rather than message delivery alone.

Executrix
People who want a privacy-first dead man's switch for docs, credentials, and files with check-in release.

Executrix focuses on encrypted posthumous message delivery with check-in or executor triggers. HeirVault is a digital legacy vault: encrypted docs and files, beneficiary claims, a waiting period, and optional witnesses. Pick message delivery tooling versus a broader encrypted vault.
HeirVault keeps vault keys on your device. Jurisdiction affects legal process over accounts and metadata, not whether we can read encrypted contents. Read the Security and Privacy pages for what we can and cannot see.
No. Your live vault is protected by end-to-end encryption. It encrypts in your browser before upload, so HeirVault cannot decrypt it. HeirVault-assisted delivery stores a protected key for that beneficiary handoff only and transfers it to the beneficiary account after claim. That means assisted handoffs are not end-to-end to the beneficiary alone. Invite now and shared beneficiary passphrase delivery keep the handoff key off HeirVault servers.
