Your seed phrase can’t go in your will. Once a will goes through probate, it usually becomes a public court record anyone can read. Seal gives you a better place: sealed envelopes that open only if you go quiet for a long time and the people you trust agree it’s time.
WRITE THE ENVELOPES
Write one envelope for each person. Put in a letter, photos, a voice message or a short video, your seed phrases, passwords and account details, and a list of what to do first. If you type a seed phrase into the letter by mistake, Seal notices and offers to move it somewhere safer.
YOUR PASSWORDS, ANY DAY
The passwords you save for your family are yours to use too. Tap the key to search them and copy one after a single Face ID check. The copy stays on your phone and clears itself in 90 seconds.
HAND OUT THE KEYS
Pick two or three people you trust to be key holders. Give each one a small security key, like a YubiKey, or let them use Face ID. You choose the rule, like “two of my three key holders.” Key holders never see what is in your envelopes or who they are for.
STAY IN TOUCH, THAT’S ALL
Open Seal now and then, or tell Siri “Check in with Seal.” If you go silent longer than your rule allows, Seal warns you for weeks first. Then your key holders have to tap their keys. One check-in from you stops it all.
NO IPHONE NEEDED TO RECEIVE
The people you write to and your key holders don’t need an iPhone. With a security key you register for them, they use sealmessenger.com/open in any current browser, Android included: to open their envelopes, or to confirm they still have their key, start or object to a claim, and tap. You still write on an iPhone or iPad.
WHEN THE TIME COMES
Once enough key holders tap, your envelopes open on each person’s phone or browser, in the order you chose. Secrets stay hidden until the person confirms it’s them.

Seal can ask you questions, a few at once or one a week about one person. Answer out loud and your words become part of…
