How are you managing the encryption keys?
Here are a few things you can store:
- Important passwords
- Insurance policies
- Anything owed or lent
- Online subscriptions to cancel
- Bills or loans to pay to avoid late fees
- Any information that your business partners would want to know
- Contact information for other important people in your life, such as close friends
- Any accounts or assets that you have and the login information for them
- Special instructions or wishes
- Important passwords
- Insurance policies

I built BackupDiary to scratch my own itch because I was afraid if something happened to me, what would happen to my bank account, online subscriptions, passwords (in case my family needed them), etc?
Most of us also have a legal will to help our family, but I think most everyday things are left out. So, this is an informal digital will. It works like a dead man's switch.
The idea is simple:
1. Create a note and keep it updated. It is stored encrypted using an AES 256-bit key.
2. Add up to 5 recipients
3. Check in once every 30, 60, or 90 days. You can pick your check-in period.
4. If you don't check-in, the note is decrypted and sent as a PDF file to every recipient.
What do you think? I'd love to answer any questions and concerns.
