How Angel Reminder Works
A "dead man's switch" sounds technical – the principle is simple and deeply human: as long as you're alive and responding, nothing happens. Only when you stop responding for good does your prepared message reach the right people.
Record
You enter where things are – accounts, contracts, subscriptions, wishes, and personal notes. No passwords.
Contacts
You decide which trusted person receives which information when it matters.
Check-ins
We send regular reminders. One click is all it takes to confirm you're okay.
The fail-safe – multi-stage and safe
To ensure nothing is ever delivered by accident, Angel Reminder checks multiple times over an extended period:
- Regular check-ins: At your chosen interval, we ask if everything is okay. One click is enough.
- Multiple reminders: If you don't respond, we remind you repeatedly – over days and weeks, not hours.
- Delivery only then: If all check-ins go unanswered indefinitely, your stored information is considered ready to release and delivered to your contacts.
- Always in control: You can change your content, contacts, and intervals at any time, or delete everything. You always have the final say.
Why no password vault?
Storing passwords would carry significant security and liability risks – and worries many people. Angel Reminder takes a calmer approach: it's enough to know that an account exists and where your loved ones should start. They handle the actual access through the official, legally sound channels.
