After Me

When the time comes, your family shouldn't have to search. After Me is the encrypted vault for the documents your family will need — and the only app built around making sure they can actually reach them. The family kit Most document apps store your files. After Me gives your family access to them. When you create a Family Kit, the app generates two things: an encrypted .afterme file containing all your documents, and a printed QR Key Card. Give the card to a trusted person — a partner, an adult child, a solicitor. Keep the file on a USB drive, in Google Drive, or anywhere accessible. When the time comes, your loved one downloads After Me on their own phone. They scan the QR card, select the file, and your vault opens — step by step, guided through exactly what to do. No Apple ID needed. No account. No password. No access to your phone. Just the card and the file. No other app does this. Zero knowledge. Your device. Your data. After Me is local-first. Your documents are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by banks and governments. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose it. We have no ability to see, access, or decrypt your documents. No one does except you. Optional encrypted iCloud Backup is available for personal device recovery. It does not provide family access — that is what the Family Kit is for. Eight categories. Everything they need. Organise your vault across Identity, Financial, Property, Insurance, Medical, Legal, Digital, and Personal. Scan physical documents with your camera, import from Photos or Files, and add personal messages for your loved ones. The app tracks document freshness, alerts you when things expire, and prompts you to update your Family Kit whenever your vault changes significantly. What makes After Me different True zero-knowledge architecture — we cannot see your data, ever Local-first — documents stay on your device by default Family access without your Apple ID, account, or phone Open format — .afterme files can be decrypted independently of the app Biometric protection — Face ID or Touch ID required to open the vault UK-built and GDPR compliant — no data sold, no profiling, ever Pricing Free Store up to five documents — a will, an insurance policy, a passport, a bank note, a personal message. Five is enough to understand exactly what After Me does for your family. No credit card required. Annual Subscription Unlimited documents, Family Kit, up to five vaults, personal messages, and all future features. Cancel any time. Lifetime One-time purchase Everything in the annual plan. Pay once, own it permanently. Your family inherits the access — not the invoice. With a subscription, your family may face a renewal after you are gone. With the lifetime purchase, they never will. Built by a small team in the UK. Designed for the one problem nobody plans for. Your documents. Your wishes. Protected. Ready. https://www.myafterme.co.uk/terms
