Store passwords, crypto keys, and final messages in your digital inheritance vault. Stop responding to check-ins, and everything reaches your heir automatically. No lawyers. No court orders. No 20-minute setup.
How it works
Add passwords, links, crypto keys, messages. Everything is encrypted client-side before it ever touches our servers. We can't read your data.
Designate one person who should receive your vault. They don't know about it until the time comes. No awkward conversations required.
Every 90 days, we send a friendly "still here?" email. Click the link, reset the timer. That's it. If you ever stop clicking, we handle the rest.
The Pulse
Every 90 days, PulseVault sends you a single email. One click confirms you're alive and well. The timer resets. Simple.
If you don't respond within 10 days, we send a follow-up through multiple channels. After 30 days of silence, your vault is released to your heir with a compassionate, clear explanation.
No false alarms. No data leaks. Just a reliable bridge between your digital life and the person who matters most.

Security
Your data is encrypted in your browser before it ever reaches our servers. Even if we were compromised, your vault contents remain unreadable.
You set a passphrase that never leaves your device. Your vault is encrypted with AES-256 before upload. We store ciphertext only.
We don't know what's in your vault. We can't decrypt it. We can't be compelled to hand over readable data, because we don't have it.
When the vault releases, your heir gets instructions to decrypt using a passphrase you shared with them privately. We're just the courier.
Built for privacy. Your data, your rules. Delete your account anytime and everything is wiped permanently.
That's 57% cheaper than DGLegacy and 76% cheaper than GoodTrust.
Less than a coffee. More than peace of mind.
FAQ
Google's tool only covers Google accounts. Your crypto wallets, bank logins, password manager vaults, and private messages on other platforms? Those are locked out. PulseVault protects everything in one encrypted vault, delivered to whoever you choose — not just to Google's ecosystem.
DGLegacy's paid plan costs $6.99/mo and uses an AI "Heartbeat" to detect inactivity — you can't predict when it triggers. PulseVault uses an explicit 90-day check-in cycle. You know exactly when, you know exactly what happens, and it's $2.99/mo. Half the cost, twice the clarity.
Yes. AES-256 encryption happens in your browser before data reaches our servers. We never see your passwords, keys, or messages. Even if our database were breached, attackers would get ciphertext only. Zero-knowledge by design.
After 90 days without a check-in, we escalate: reminder emails, then multi-channel follow-ups. After 30 days of total silence (120 days total), your vault is released to your designated heir with clear decryption instructions. No court orders, no lawyers, no delays.
GoodTrust is $149 one-time (~$12.42/mo amortized). It requires ~20 minutes to set up a full estate plan (will, trust, directives). And it has no automated inactivity trigger — your heir needs to prove your death through documentation, which can take 180+ days. PulseVault is automated, faster, and cheaper.
Nothing until the vault is released. They'll receive an email with a link to access the vault and instructions to decrypt it using a passphrase you shared with them privately. It's free for them — they never need an account or subscription.
Yes, anytime. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees, no questions asked. Cancel from your account dashboard in one click and your subscription ends at the current billing period.
Your vault and all associated data are permanently deleted within 30 days of cancellation. We don't archive it, we don't sell it — it's gone. You can export your vault entries before cancelling if you need a local copy.
Life gets busy — we built for that. After your first missed check-in, you get a 10-day grace period with reminder emails. After 30 days of silence (120 days total), we escalate to your heir. You can also snooze reminders from your dashboard if you're traveling or just need a break.
No. All encryption happens in your browser before anything leaves your device. We store ciphertext — we don't have the keys and can't decrypt your vault even if we wanted to. Your passwords, crypto keys, and messages are visible only to you and your heir, never to us.
We'd notify you 60 days in advance and give you a full data export — all vault entries in an open, machine-readable format. You'll have time to move to another provider or keep a local copy. Your digital legacy won't get locked in or lost.
When your vault releases, your heir receives an email from us with a secure link. That link includes decryption instructions and a passphrase hint — you share the full passphrase with them privately when you designate them. They never need an account, a subscription, or a credit card.
160+ online accounts. Crypto wallets. Family photos in the cloud. None of it has to be lost. PulseVault makes sure it isn't.
