Agathon.one
Agathon.one is a digital dead man's switch that delivers documents and messages to designated recipients if the account holder becomes unreachable.
The problem
Most of us hold something that should reach the right person if we can't pass it on ourselves: a will, account details, instructions for family, a personal letter, or records for a business partner. Few people ever arrange this, because the usual options are a lawyer's office or a note in a drawer that nobody knows about.
What Agathon does
Agathon.one is a digital dead man's switch. You store your documents in a secure vault, choose who should receive them, and check in from time to time. If you stop checking in, Agathon sends reminders first and then, after a grace period, releases your documents to the people you chose.
- Encrypted storage: documents are protected with envelope encryption at rest.
- Simple check-ins: confirm you're fine from any device with a PIN, with no full login needed.
- Separate credentials: managing your vault requires email and two-factor authentication, while your check-in PIN can only reset the clock. It can't open your documents.
- Reminders and a grace period: a missed check-in leads to reminders, not an instant release.
- Human review: every release is reviewed by a person before anything is sent.
- Staged release: on the Professional plan, documents can be released in stages to different recipients.
Who it's for
People planning their estate and their families, anyone holding digital assets or online accounts that others would need to find, small business owners planning for continuity, and journalists or others who need a safeguard for sensitive material.

Domande frequenti
What is a digital dead man's switch?
A service that releases information you have prepared, such as documents or messages, to people you choose if you stop confirming that you're fine. Agathon checks in with you on a schedule you set.
What happens if I simply forget to check in?
Nothing is released straight away. Agathon sends reminders and allows a grace period first, and every release is reviewed by a person before anything is sent.
Can Agathon staff read my documents?
Documents are protected with envelope encryption at rest, and your check-in PIN can't open them. Account changes require your email login and two-factor authentication.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes 100 MB of storage, two documents and one recipient. Paid plans start at $12 a month.
Who receives my documents?
Only the recipients you choose: one on the Free plan, up to five on Personal and up to 20 on Professional.
