With a grace period set, forgetting a check-in on your dead man's switch does not send anything right away. Follow one caregiver's KinSwitch switch through the reminders, the grace period, the one-tap check-in, and the point where her note would reach her brother.

KinSwitch pays partners a flat 25% recurring commission on every plan, for as long as the referred subscriber stays subscribed. Referrals get 10% off their first paid month (first billing period if they choose yearly). If you already talk digital estate, access, or aging parents with clients or an audience, apply, get approved, and share your unique link.

A switch is only as good as the people who can still be reached when it fires. KinSwitch beneficiary verification checks contact info before delivery depends on it: silent checks for bad emails and phones, one-click Verify for recipients, and optional quarterly reachability. Problems show as badges and switch health warnings while you can still fix them.

AI agents can make a solo founder look like a ten-person team, but they do not fix the bus factor. Agents can draft, schedule, support, and ship code. They cannot inherit logins, open the registrar, or explain which AWS account is production. A short founder handoff runbook, plus a way for that package to leave your devices if you stop checking in, is what continuity actually requires.

Estate plans decay from the day you make them. Here's a catalog of what silently breaks, plus a quarterly and annual maintenance schedule to keep yours alive.

A walk through the exact email your people receive when your switch fires, the subject line, your letter, their documents, and how to preview it yourself today.

An "If I'm Gone" journal is one sealed place that answers what your family needs on the worst day: who to call, where the will and insurance are, legal and medical wishes, funeral preferences, who depends on you, and what you want them to know. In KinSwitch you can build it as a notebook, attach the real documents, and put it on a deadman switch (or share it now) so it arrives when it is needed.

A business handoff journal is a single living document that captures how your company actually runs (access, money, people, operations, legal, and a first-48-hours checklist) so a co-founder, spouse, or assistant can keep the lights on if you are suddenly gone. Most founders keep that knowledge only in their heads. In KinSwitch you can seal it in a notebook, attach the real documents, and deliver it on a deadman switch or share it now.
