Protect What Matters

How Afterlight works

Four deliberate steps. No guesswork for the people you trust.

  1. 01

    Create your secure vault

    Store passwords, documents, instructions, and assets in encrypted storage only you control.

  2. 02

    Add trusted contacts

    Invite family, colleagues, or advisors who should receive access when the time comes.

  3. 03

    Set release conditions

    Define heartbeat checks, waiting periods, and verification rules—nothing releases without them.

  4. 04

    Stay protected

    Update anytime. Afterlight monitors activity, sends reminders, and keeps everything ready.

Built for life—and for business

One platform. Two paths. Choose what fits you today.

Everything you need to stay prepared

Premium tools, thoughtfully designed—not bolted on.

Secure Vault

Encrypted storage for credentials, documents, and instructions—organised and searchable.

Trusted Contacts

Invite the right people with clear roles—family, executors, or key staff.

Release Rules

Configure heartbeat checks, delays, and human verification before anything is shared.

Private File Storage

Upload wills, deeds, contracts, and runbooks—stored encrypted at rest.

Activity Tracking

Full audit history of logins, changes, and release events—for accountability.

Notifications

Heartbeat reminders, contact invitations, and release alerts—timely and configurable.

Designed around trust.

Security is not a feature list—it is the foundation of every decision we make.

Encrypted Storage

AES-256-GCM encryption with per-record derived keys for sensitive vault content.

Controlled Access

You define who sees what, when—and only under your rules.

Audit History

Every action logged with timestamps for full transparency.

Role Permissions

Granular roles for contacts, staff, and administrators.

Human Verification

Release requests can require manual review before anything is shared.

Afterlight never releases information automatically without your configured rules.

When it matters most

Real situations. Real outcomes. Prepared—not panicked.

Family support

Problem

A parent passes away. Nobody knows how to access banking, insurance, or digital photos.

Solution

Trusted contacts receive a structured vault with accounts, documents, and personal messages.

Outcome

Family focuses on grieving—not on guessing passwords or searching drawers.

Unexpected illness

Problem

Someone is hospitalised unexpectedly. Bills, subscriptions, and care instructions are unknown.

Solution

Heartbeat check triggers a waiting period, then releases instructions to nominated contacts.

Outcome

Household affairs continue. Loved ones act with clarity, not confusion.

Business continuity

Problem

The only person with server credentials is unreachable during a critical outage.

Solution

Emergency access releases infrastructure vault and continuity plan to authorised staff.

Outcome

Operations resume in hours—not days. Clients never know there was a gap.

Digital legacy

Problem

Years of journals, letters, and videos exist only on locked devices.

Solution

Future messages and memorial content release on schedule to chosen recipients.

Outcome

A voice and presence endure—on your terms, at the right moment.

Questions, answered

What triggers release?

Only conditions you configure: missed heartbeat checks, explicit release requests from trusted contacts, or emergency access workflows for business accounts. Every path includes waiting periods and optional human verification.

Who sees my data?

Only you—until your release rules are satisfied. Then, only the specific items assigned to each trusted contact become visible. Afterlight staff cannot read your vault contents.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. Cancel from your billing settings with no lock-in. Your data remains accessible until the end of your billing period, and you can export before closing your account.

How secure is it?

Vault contents use AES-256-GCM encryption with per-record derived keys. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id. All access is logged. We never store payment card details locally. Read our full security overview →

Can businesses use this?

Absolutely. Afterlight Business includes company vaults, staff roles, continuity plans, infrastructure records, and controlled emergency access—designed for SMEs and agencies. Learn more →
