Encrypted Family Vault (Heirloom)

An encrypted digital safe where users store passwords, documents, and important information to share with family and friends after they pass away. Solves the problem of losing access to accounts and critical data when someone dies.

Digital estate planning sits at the intersection of two real trends: the explosion of online accounts the average person now holds (passwords, crypto wallets, streaming subscriptions, financial portals) and growing mainstream awareness of death-planning tools post-pandemic. The closest substitute is Keeper Security's emergency access feature or Dashlane's similar offering, both of which bolt this functionality onto a password manager rather than treating family legacy as the core product. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is believable for a bootstrapper — a $5–10/month subscription with strong retention (people rarely cancel "just in case" insurance-adjacent products) can get there with a few hundred paying users, though ceiling growth is limited without a clear upgrade path. The biggest risk is trust: asking users to store their most sensitive documents in a product built by an unknown solo founder is a hard sell, and one security incident or even just the perception of inadequate encryption kills the business instantly.
