Bequest is a secure vault that passes your most important files — passwords, documents, final wishes — to the people you choose, automatically, if something ever happens to you.
Everything is encrypted on your own device. No one can open it while you're here, and no one — not even us — can read what's inside.
And it costs just cents — to set up, and to keep going each year.
The people you love will have questions you're no longer there to answer. Where the accounts are. What your wishes were. How to reach the parts of your life that lived behind a password.
You could write it all down and hide it away— but anyplace safe enough to protect those secrets is usually too hard to find, and anything easy to find isn't safe. Hand someone access today and you're trusting them with it (and for them to keep it protected) for the rest of your life. Lock it away properly and it may be lost with you.
Bequest is the way out of that bind. Everything stays sealed and private while you're here, and reaches the right people the moment it's needed — not a day sooner.
1. Fill your vault. Add the files, passwords, and messages you'd want someone to have. They're encrypted on your device before they ever leave it.
2. Choose who, and when. Name the people who should receive them, and set how long you can go quiet before the vault opens.
3. Check in. Every so often, you confirm you're still here. Keep checking in and nothing changes. When you stop, Bequest passes everything to the people you named.
We only ever see scrambled data. Your files are encrypted before they're uploaded, so what Bequest stores is meaningless without the key to unlock it.
No one holds the key — not even us. The key that opens your vault doesn't exist until the moment a recipient is entitled to it. There's nothing for us to hand over, no matter who asks, and nothing for an attacker to steal.
No one can quietly switch it off. Bequest runs on a decentralized network, not on servers we own. The rules that protect your vault are fixed in open code that anyone can inspect — and that no single party, including us, can override.
You stay in control the whole time: change what's inside, and who receives it, whenever you like.
Setting up a vault costs about USD $0.50, with a recurring cost of roughly USD $0.25 per year to keep it active. No subscriptions, no surprises — you pay only for what you store and who you share it with.
Exact prices vary with your specific needs — the number of files, their size, and how many recipients you name. Try the pricing calculator to estimate yours.
Set up your first vault in minutes, and give the people you love the answers you won't be there to give.
