The Watchful Flame

What happens to your words
when you are no longer here to speak them?

You set a flame — a quiet candle
that watches, and waits.
As long as you return to tend it, it burns.
But if the flame is left alone...
it carries your voice to those who need it most.

A dead man's switch — a flame you tend. Check in before the timer expires. If you don't, your message is delivered automatically.

Set Your Legacy Trigger

If you don't check in before the timer runs out, your message, vault, or milestone will be automatically released to the person you choose.

How It Works

1

Create a switch

Give it a name, choose a check-in period (7 days to 1 year), and decide what happens if the timer expires: release a message, unlock your vault, or trigger a milestone.

2

Share the code with someone you trust

You'll receive a unique switch code. Give it to the person who should receive your message if something happens to you.

3

Check in regularly

Come back to this page and enter your code to reset the timer. As long as you check in, the switch stays quiet.

4

If you stop checking in...

When the timer expires, the switch fires. Your message, vault, or milestone is released to the person you chose.

This requires a free Puter account. Your switch is stored securely in the cloud with a time-to-live.
