Encrypted emergency plans that deliver your instructions, access guides, and contacts to the people who need them — triggered by a trusted contact, a safety check-in, or you.
So the people you love aren't left scrambling.
$2.99/mo + tax — 30-day free trial, no credit card required.Encrypted at rest with per-user keys. AES-256-GCM.Your messages are encrypted at rest with keys unique to your account. When your plan activates, they're decrypted and delivered only to the people you chose.
Your spouse, lawyer, or a trusted friend gets an activation card with a URL and PIN. When they confirm something has happened, your information is released.
Optionally enable a safety check-in. If you stop responding, the system can send escalating reminders — email, push, SMS, even voice calls. If you truly can't respond, your plan fires automatically.
Every plan has a cancellation window. If someone triggers it accidentally, you're notified instantly and can cancel with one click.
Built for people who take care of everything — and want to make sure it's taken care of if they can't.
Three steps to peace of mind.
Create encrypted messages for different scenarios — death, incapacitation, digital compromise. Add contacts and assign who gets what.
Give trusted people an activation card with a URL and PIN. Optionally require multiple people to agree before a plan fires.
If an emergency happens, your activator enters their PIN. Your encrypted messages are decrypted and delivered to the right people.
Different people, different scenarios — one system.
Passwords, bank accounts, insurance, bills, school contacts, medical info — everything your family needs to keep things running if you can't. Different people get different information based on the situation.
Instructions for finding your hardware wallet, safe combinations, recovery procedures, and who to contact for help — delivered only to the people you choose. Don't let your digital wealth become permanently inaccessible.
Emergency contacts, embassy info, legal documents, and "if I don't check in" plans for journalists, aid workers, and travellers. The safety check-in monitors you automatically.
Server credentials, domain access, client contacts, and operational runbooks. If you're a solo founder, freelancer, or the only one who knows the passwords — your business doesn't die with you.
Every message is encrypted with its own unique key using AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by banks and governments. Each user gets independent encryption keys.
Your information is encrypted before it's stored. Passwords and PINs are irreversibly hashed. Your data is protected by full-disk encryption and hardware-backed key protection.
Optionally require two or more trusted people to agree before your plan activates. One activator works great for most people — add quorum approval when you want extra protection.
Password managers store credentials for daily use. Break Glass stores emergency instructions that are released to other people when something happens to you. It's not about accessing your own accounts — it's about making sure the right people get the right information at the right time.
Every scenario has a configurable cancellation window — from instant to 7 days. When triggered, you're immediately notified via email, push, SMS, and voice call. You can cancel with one click from your dashboard. Accidental fires are the most common concern — that's why the cancellation window exists.
Your information is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM with keys unique to your account. Passwords and PINs are hashed with Argon2id and never stored. The server is protected by full-disk encryption and hardware-backed key protection. See our security page for full details.
Your data is backed up automatically. If the service goes offline temporarily, the safety check-in pauses and resumes when it comes back. Your data remains encrypted at rest throughout.
Break Glass is $2.99 USD per month plus applicable taxes. You get a 30-day free trial with no credit card required — just create an account and start building your plan. Every feature is included, no tiers or upsells.
These are the most common reasons people hesitate. Here's why they shouldn't stop you.
Neither do we. But Break Glass isn't about death — it's about protecting the people you love from chaos when they're already hurting. Most users set it up in under an hour and then don't think about it again until the annual review reminder.
Good instinct. Your data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM using per-user keys. The server is protected by full-disk encryption and hardware-backed key protection. You can require multiple activators to agree before secrets are released (quorum activation), so no single person can trigger your plan alone. Read our security page for the full architecture.
There's a guided onboarding checklist that walks you through each step: add a contact, write a message, set up a scenario. Most people start with one simple scenario and add more later. If you can write an email, you can use Break Glass.
Break Glass sends you a periodic review reminder (configurable: every 3, 6, or 12 months) with a guided wizard that walks through your contacts, payloads, and scenarios. Staleness is the #1 risk with any emergency plan — that's why we built active maintenance into the system.
You have more than you think. Your phone PIN. Your email password. Your bank login. Your children's school and doctor contacts. The WiFi password. The alarm code. If you disappeared tomorrow, could your family keep the household running? That's what Break Glass protects.
Every story on our Real Stories page is about someone who said the same thing. A widow who couldn't pay bills for four months. A wife who fought Apple for three years to access family photos. A family who nearly lost their say on life support because there was no directive on file. None of them planned to need a plan.
"You're a parent. You handle the school runs, the doctor appointments, the bills, the passwords. If something happened to you tomorrow, could your family keep things running? Would they know who to call, how to pay the mortgage, where the insurance documents are?"
Break Glass lets you write all of that down — encrypted, private, and ready to be released to the right people at the right time. Your sister gets the kids' school contacts. Your partner gets the financial accounts. Your lawyer gets the custody documents. Each person gets only what they need.
The best time to set up an emergency plan is before you need one.
