Break Glass
When the worst happens, the right people get the right instructions.
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."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.
How it works
Three steps to peace of mind.
Write your plans
Create encrypted messages for different scenarios — death, incapacitation, digital compromise. Add contacts and assign who gets what.
Share access
Give trusted people an activation card with a URL and PIN. Optionally require multiple people to agree before a plan activates.
Rest easy
If an emergency happens, your trusted contact enters their PIN. Your encrypted messages are decrypted and delivered to the right people.
Built for real emergencies
Different people, different scenarios — one system.
Family Emergency Plan
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.
Crypto & Digital Assets
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.
Solo Travel & High-Risk Work
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.
Business Continuity
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.
Encrypted Until Delivered
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.
Someone You Trust Triggers It
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.
A Safety Net If No One Can
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 activates automatically.
Protection From Mistakes
Every plan has a cancellation window. If someone triggers it accidentally, you're notified instantly and can cancel with one click.
Security you can verify
AES-256 Encryption
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.
Encrypted at Rest
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.
Multiple Approvals
Optionally require two or more trusted people to agree before your plan activates. One trusted contact works great for most people — add multiple approvals when you want extra protection.
Questions
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 triggers are the most common concern — that's why the cancellation window exists.
No. Multiple layers prevent this: trusted contacts never see your information — it's delivered to recipients, not the person who triggered it. Every trigger has a cancellation window where you're notified instantly via email, SMS, push, and voice call, and can cancel with one click. Even if your trusted contact is also a recipient, the cancellation window and requiring multiple people to agree prevent anyone from acting alone. You can revoke anyone's access at any time.
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.
Don't leave it to chance
The best time to set up an emergency plan is before you need one.
