Legacy access
Something important, passed on safely.
Planned for Family: pick a trusted person, added in person with a safety code, and the files they should receive if you stop opening VaultBolt for a period you choose. You can veto any claim during a waiting window.
How it works
Legacy access, step by step.
Add a trustee in person
QR exchange and a 6-word safety code.
Choose files and a timer
30 days to a year without check-ins.
Claim and veto
After the timer, a claim starts a waiting period you can cancel.
End-to-end encrypted
The bundle is encrypted to the trustee; it never contains your vault key or recovery phrase.
Honest limits
- Release timing is enforced by VaultBolt's server; this limit is stated openly.
