I'm building CatchIntent (https://CatchIntent.com). The goal is to help turning social conversations into qualified warm leads.

Started with it because I was struggling with finding relevant conversations about my first app where people are exactly asking for what I'm selling, only that I was missing those conversations and people. Build a POC, tested for myself and started getting good leads, so I converted it into my second app.

I do yes, I have a dedicated page for the same: https://eternalvault.app/security/

But here's a TL;DR

- Files are end to end encrypted with a master key generated by you on your device during onboarding

- How do your family access the documents when only you have the key and it's E2EE? The idea is the key is splitted via Shamir Secret Sharing when you add a trusted contact, once the doomsday is triggered and they recieve the notification, only then they can use their "shares" to reconstruct the master key and open your vault and access the documents

When someone dies, you don't get even one extra second to access the documents and information they meant to share it with you. Trying to fix this problem with Eternal Vault.

I'm trying to fix this problem with Eternal Vault (https://eternalvault.app)

Today, I am launching lifetime pricing at $199/$399.

From a business perspective, everyone I talked to said it's a stupid and impulsive idea, but here's the reason why I feel it's not.

Firstly, I did the math. Ran a 50-year cost analysis. Analyzed cloud storage, infrastructure, payment fees, support, inflation.

At $199/$399, we stay profitable for decades.

The major reason why I have been thinking like this is because your will doesn't expire. Estate planning isn't Netflix. It's permanent.

And for our users, it will be less than $1/month over their lifetime for peace of mind.

My bet is that subscription fatigue is real. There's room for products that ask "does this make sense" over "does this maximize LTV."

It is bootstrapped. No VC pressure. And monthly option is still available for those who prefer that.

Am I being naive or smart? Want honest feedback.

PS: I also just did few changes on the content to call this out better, thanks for sharing the feedback around it.

So we do provide a free forever plan, with free plan there are usage limits plus some advance features are not there, but all the core security features are fully available on all plans (I strongly feel security is not a good to have but a must have feature)

With that being said, with the paid plans unlock higher limits, advance features (all mentioned on the pricing page).

Let me know if you have any specific questions, also feel free to DM me on my socials or via emails (all available on the contact page).

Thanks for the suggestions!

Show HN: Eternal Vault, E2EE Estate Platform Using Shamir's Secret Sharing

ghostfoxgod — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 14:17:52 +0000

Built Eternal Vault to solve a widespread problem of digital assets being lost or inaccessible with proper cryptography.

Technical approach:

- Client-side AES-256 encryption (plaintext master key never leaves device)

- Shamir's Secret Sharing for access control (3-of-3 threshold)

- Zero-knowledge architecture

- Trust levels distribute key shares to family members

Security model:

- Everything encrypted before network transmission

- Can't decrypt user data even if we wanted to

The problem: Over $200 billion in inaccessible assets worldwide¹, including $140+ billion in lost Bitcoin alone². Government data shows billions in dormant accounts unreachable by families across multiple countries³. 76% of people have no digital estate plan.

What it does:

- Secure storage for wills, passwords, photos, documents

- Smart family access controls with trust levels

- Gamified legacy building with guided checklists

- Business continuity features

Would love feedback on the cryptographic design and threat modeling from the HN community.

Wow, it's fun reading the innovative ways people are solving for this, thanks for sharing your approach. If you don't mind me asking, can you share some more details about this CLI utility? Does it use some existing solutions like GPG or something similar for the tasks you mentioned?

Just thinking out loud, doesn't keeping it offline increases the risk of first of all things getting lost or worse gets accessed by someone you don't intend to pass it on to?

That's fair, and it's actually pretty nice that you have thought out about this in such details. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me, appreciate it :)

I don't know how easy is it from where you are from, but a friend of mine lost his dad during covid second wave, and it took him months to get just get access to his dad's bank accounts.

Seems very scary, there might be so many things that he doesn't even know about. I tried searching for this, and it seems like there are billions of dollars left in dormant accounts because no one claimed it, majorly because the person's family don't even know how to access those or worse are not even aware about it.

Wow, that's quite well-thought-out plan. So you mentioned that this encrypted data and its credentials are kept at a physical location and designated one person to be the executor? Is this person someone you know or some firm which handles things like these?

And I don't want to sound rude, but what if the executor passes away before you and you are not aware about it, what's the backup plan?

I've been thinking about this lately. Most of us have dozens of online accounts, digital assets, and important documents scattered across various services. If something happens to me, my family would have no idea how to access my banking and investment accounts, important documents (wills, insurance, etc.).

I know password managers exist, but they don't solve the "what accounts do I even have?" problem, and most families don't know how to use them. And I don't want to share access to my accounts right now, only after I am no longer alive.

What's your approach? Do you have a system in place, or is this something you've been meaning to figure out but haven't gotten around to?

I'm particularly interested in solutions that work for non-technical family members who might be dealing with grief and stress.
