Notes

StayKeep: Encrypts credentials, files, and instructions. Delivers to designated contacts automatically after configurable inactivity. Per-contact scoping.
Digital Keeper: Password vault with an inheritance feature. No automated inactivity trigger; no per-recipient allocation.
1Password: Strong password manager. No inactivity trigger or per-recipient automated delivery; Emergency Kit assumes manual sharing before the event.
Bitwarden: Emergency Access lets another user request entry after a wait period, but no automated inactivity detection and no file-attachment delivery.
Secbo: Encrypted storage. No automated delivery on inactivity.
Wagaya Note (MUFG): MUFG-affiliated ending-note app. Records intentions but does not store credentials or automate delivery.
Tsunagu Note: A 'life note' sharing service. Manual sharing only — no conditional automation.
Ecopaso × 151-A: Physical device data deletion. Post-mortem only — does not handle pre-event preparation or conditional delivery.
