So your family knows
what they need to know.
Illness, accident, dementia or death — Heritavo makes sure your loved ones have access to what matters when you can't tell them yourself. You decide who learns what, and when.
Three moments when life suddenly turns
Planning isn't only for later.
Heritavo makes your family capable of acting — before they have to.
Suddenly ill
Stroke, serious accident, coma. With Heritavo, your loved ones know where to find insurance details, power of attorney and banking access — ready for the moment when you can't act yourself.
Slowly forgetting
Dementia, Alzheimer's. You no longer remember passwords or contracts — your partner has to take over, without being left in the dark.
Suddenly gone
An accident, a heart attack. Your loved ones have to cancel accounts, end contracts and find your personal messages — they can't call you anymore.
The Solution
More than a password manager
Heritavo doesn't just store data — it makes sure your family knows what to do, whenever the moment comes.
Encrypted Vault
Store passwords, bank details, documents and personal messages. Everything is encrypted directly in your browser — before it reaches the server.
Emergency Contacts
You decide who gets access in an emergency and how many people need to cooperate.
Only you hold the key
Your data is encrypted so that neither Heritavo nor anyone else can read it — only you and the people you trust.
Automatic Emergency Plan
You check in regularly — one click is enough. If the check-in is missed, Heritavo automatically starts your emergency plan.
3 Release Methods
From a printed Recovery Sheet to split access codes for multiple people — you choose what fits your situation.
Works Offline
Your contacts don't need an Heritavo account. With offline methods, a browser is enough — no internet required.

Release Modes
3 ways to secure your vault
With every method, the key stays exclusively with you and your trusted contacts — never with us.
Recovery Sheet
You print a Recovery Key and store it securely — in a safe, with a notary or in a bank vault. In an emergency, it is entered in the included viewer to open the vault.
Advantages
- Completely without internet
- No trusted contacts needed
- Easy to set up
Consider
- → Whoever finds the sheet has access
- → Physical security is crucial
Access code by email
Each trusted contact receives a personal code by email during setup. In an emergency, everyone enters their code in the included viewer — the fragment is decrypted locally. Heritavo never sees the code.
Advantages
- Convenient for trusted contacts
- No printing needed
- Multiple people required for access
Consider
- → Codes must be stored securely
- → Email access required during setup
Printed access code
You print a code for each trusted contact and hand it over in person. In an emergency, everyone enters their code in the included viewer — no internet needed.
Advantages
- No digital transmission
- Personal handover
- Completely offline capable
Consider
- → Physical handover required
- → Codes must be stored securely
Important notice
The key is with you — not with us
For all 3 methods: Heritavo cannot recover a lost access code. This is by design — because what we cannot see, we cannot lose or share.
If an access code is lost, you can regenerate it in Settings or the Dashboard. If a code was stolen, we recommend regenerating all codes — old ones become automatically invalid. Your vault data is always preserved.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
About Heritavo
Swiss zero-knowledge vault for digital legacy
Heritavo grew out of a simple observation: when someone dies or becomes incapacitated, important digital assets systematically get lost today — crypto holdings, insurance policies, recovery codes, personal messages. Classical password managers only address this as an afterthought. Heritavo is built from the ground up for exactly this inheritance use case: browser-side encryption (AES-256-GCM, Argon2id), automated emergency plan via check-in, three sharing modes including Shamir's Secret Sharing — and full sovereignty, because Heritavo mathematically never sees your data.
Behind Heritavo is Moritz Hauff from Tägerwilen, Thurgau — software engineer and founder. Hosted in Switzerland, Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG).
