Heirloom
Pass on the keys to your digital life — cleanly, privately, on your terms.
Heirloom is a private, encrypted place to keep the passwords, accounts, and instructions your family would otherwise have to guess at. Everything lives on your device in the secure keychain. Designate who inherits what, set a check-in cadence, and generate a sealed AES-256-GCM handoff packet you can export and share when it matters. Heirloom never contacts your beneficiaries on its own — you stay in control of when and how anything is shared.

Pass on the keys to your digital life — cleanly, privately, on your terms
What you get
Heirloom was built for exactly this.
The core features that make Heirloom different from the generic alternatives.
Encrypted vault
Store logins, account numbers, recovery details, and a note for each — written to your device's secure keychain, never our servers.
Face ID lock
Your vault opens only for you, and every check-in re-verifies with Face ID or your device passcode.
People who inherit
Name a primary beneficiary, and on Pro add deputies with their own scoped role.
Handoff packet
Generate a sealed, AES-256-GCM encrypted archive of your real vault to export and store or share however you choose.
Check-in reminders
Set a cadence and Heirloom reminds you to check in; if you stop, it guides you to hand off — it never contacts anyone on its own.
Activity log
An on-device record of the changes you make, so you can see exactly what you've set up.
A look inside
See it in your hands.
A note from the studio
“I built Heirloom after watching a family spend months locked out of a loved one's accounts. It's the opposite of a flashy app — quiet, encrypted, and honest about exactly what it does and doesn't do.”
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Fill the vault
Add the accounts and instructions your people would need, each with a short note explaining what it's for.
02
Choose who inherits
Designate a primary beneficiary and, on Pro, scoped deputies — you decide who would receive what.
03
Check in, then hand off
Heirloom reminds you to check in. When the time comes, export a sealed packet and share it on your terms.
Not shipped yet
Notify me when Heirloom ships.
It'll launch at $79 / year. Free tier: vault for up to 5 assets, one beneficiary, and encrypted export — free.
One email when it lands on the App Store. No drip sequence.
No spam. No tracking. Email only — unsubscribe with one click.
