Deadman Switch

Deliver encrypted messages when you can't

📱 Download APK

Version 2.0 • Android

🔐

End-to-End Encrypted

Messages are encrypted with recipients' GPG public keys. Only they can decrypt them.

Automatic Delivery

If you don't check in within your set timeframe, messages are automatically delivered.

📱

Background Service

Runs silently in the background, sending periodic check-ins to the server.

🔑

Auto Key Fetch

Automatically fetches GPG keys from ProtonMail and keys.openpgp.org.

How It Works

1

Add Recipients

Add the email addresses of people who should receive messages. Their GPG keys are fetched automatically.

2

Write Messages

Compose messages for each recipient. They're encrypted locally before being stored on the server.

3

Set Your Timers

Configure how long without check-in before warning emails go out, and when messages are delivered.

4

Enable Background Service

The app checks in periodically. Miss enough check-ins, and your messages are delivered.

🛡️ Security First

Your plaintext messages never leave your device unencrypted. The server only stores GPG-encrypted blobs that only your recipients can decrypt with their private keys.
