Encrypted vault · Dead-man switch
A vault that keeps your secrets - until your people need them.
Recivity holds one encrypted document for the day you hope never comes. Check in now and then to keep it sealed. Go quiet long enough, and the people you chose can unlock it.
Free while it waits. No card needed.

How it works
Private while you're here. Readable when you're not.
Write your document
Passwords, account notes, legal pointers, letters - whatever your people would need.
It's sealed in your browser
Encryption happens on your device before anything is stored. Plaintext never leaves it.
Name your beneficiaries
Choose who can open the vault. Optionally add a recovery question only they could answer.
Check in. That's it.
One tap, on your schedule - monthly by default. Miss enough of them, and the vault releases to your people.
The dead-man switch
Silence is the signal.
You don't have to remember anything except being alive. We remind you before every check-in - email first, then more insistently as the deadline nears.
If you miss the window, nothing releases immediately. A grace period begins, we try every channel you gave us, and only then do beneficiaries get their invitation.
Will studio
Draft a simple will, then print it to sign.
Answer a short questionnaire, refine an AI draft in an encrypted library separate from vault release, and print for wet-ink signing.
- Questionnaire-guided AI draft for a simple Canada common-law will
- Encrypted will library - not the vault release pipeline
- Print for wet-ink signing with two witnesses
Security model
Encrypted in your browser. Honest about what we hold.
Documents are sealed on your device before they reach us. The beneficiary path is end-to-end when you set a recovery question. While you are signed in, we store an owner wrap secret so your vault can unlock without a separate passphrase - details on the Security page.
Your document is encrypted in the browser before upload. What we store for content is ciphertext - not plaintext.
Owner wrap secrets and recovery answers are stretched locally at 310,000 iterations before keys wrap the vault DEK.
The beneficiary key is sealed under your recovery answers when you set questions. It only becomes usable after the dead-man window closes.
For the people who'd need to know.
Account details, instructions, where the papers are, what to do first. Not handed over now - held in trust, for a day you hope never comes.

Questions
Questions people actually ask
What if I just forget to check in?+
A single miss releases nothing. Reminders start a week before the deadline, and a missed check-in opens a 14-day grace period with outreach on every channel you've given us. One tap anywhere in that window resets everything.
Can Recivity read my document?+
No. Encryption and decryption happen in the browser. We store ciphertext and metadata about your check-in schedule - never keys, never plaintext.
What stops a beneficiary from opening it early?+
The recovery key material they need isn't released to them until the dead-man window closes. Before that, correct answers to your questions unlock nothing.
What if a beneficiary can't answer the questions?+
You choose the questions, so pick ones your people can genuinely answer - and you can leave hints. You can also update questions and beneficiaries any time you're checked in.
What happens if Recivity shuts down?+
You can export your encrypted vault and a standalone decryption page at any time. The design is documented publicly so the vault outlives the service.
Does Recivity help me write a will?+
Yes. After you sign in, Will studio drafts a simple Canada common-law will from a questionnaire, keeps drafts encrypted, and helps you print for wet-ink signing. It is not legal advice. Quebec and complex estates are out of scope.
