What works today

Local encryption. Your vault is encrypted on this device with a key derived from your passphrase. We cannot read it.
Balance sheet tracking. Add your accounts, update monthly numbers, see your net worth move over time.
Vault records. Store passwords, bank details, IDs, insurance policies, documents.
Encrypted backup export. Download a ciphertext file you can keep on a USB drive, in cloud storage, or printed as a recovery sheet.
Recovery key. A separate key generated at vault creation that lets you decrypt your backup even if you forget your passphrase.

If you do NOT create a Lyfos account, the Release plan is still a planning tool only. Without an account, your plan stays local on this device and Lyfos cannot contact anyone for you. Sign in and finalize a 5-of-5 plan to activate the real release service.
The product has not yet had an independent security audit. An audit is planned before commercial launch (see ROADMAP). Until then, you should treat Lyfos as a private experiment rather than as bank-grade infrastructure.
WhatsApp + SMS alerts may not be live yet. During the beta we may be running on email-only alerts while WhatsApp Business approval and SMS provider setup completes. Email is sent for every alert; SMS + WhatsApp degrade gracefully when their credentials aren't provisioned.

Cloud-encrypted vault sync across devices. Your vault is encrypted on your device with a key only you control; only ciphertext goes to our servers.
Real release engine. Invite 5 key holders by email; they accept and upload a release public key. You finalize the plan; your vault key is split into 5 Shamir shares, each encrypted to a holder. A nominee can file a release claim; founders manually review; 3 of 5 holders approve; a 14-day owner-protection hold begins with daily multi-channel alerts; you can one-tap abort from any alert; if the hold completes, the nominee combines the shares client-side and downloads your emergency-eligible records.
Server zero-knowledge throughout. The Lyfos server holds ciphertext only — at no stage in the release flow does the server see your vault key, your passphrase, or your record contents.

Use it freely with low-stakes data first. Test the experience with information that wouldn't ruin your week to lose.
Export an encrypted backup at least once a month. Store the file somewhere you'll find it again — an external drive, a password-manager-attached file, or even a sealed envelope.
Save your recovery key in a separate place from your passphrase. If both are in the same notebook, the safety of the recovery key is wasted.
Don't rely on the Release plan to protect your family yet. Print the plan and share it with your nominee directly. When the live release service ships, we'll guide you through migrating to it.
Tell us what breaks. Email hello@lyfos.signorvale.com — every report from a Beta user is shaping the production build.

The public roadmap tracks the planned arrival of:

Accounts and zero-knowledge cloud sync (Phase 1) — shipped
The real release service that contacts nominees and key holders (Phase 3) — shipped
Mobile apps for iOS and Android (Phase 5)
Independent security audit and insurance (Phase 6)

Target public launch: late 2026. The roadmap will be updated honestly as we ship.
