Life Check

Life Check is a gentle, multi-channel proof-of-life protocol. Keeplas checks in on a cadence you choose; if you ever stop responding, your legacy plan activates — but only after every safeguard you set.

How it stays gentle

• WhatsApp and email. Check-ins arrive over both channels (web push is on the roadmap). Reply or tap once to confirm you are well.
• Your cadence. Weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Monthly on Free, weekly on Lifetime.
• Travel Mode. Going off-grid? Pause Life Check with an automatic resume date so a trip never triggers a false alarm.
• Human confirmation first. Before anything is released, your trusted contacts must confirm you are unreachable. Keeplas never makes an automated guess about your status.

What happens after inactivity

1. A check-in opens. Your cadence passes without an explicit "I am well." Keeplas opens a Life Check cycle and a roughly 15-day response window.
2. Every channel reaches you. WhatsApp and email fire with reminders across the window. One tap or reply resets the countdown.
3. Trusted contacts are notified. If the window closes without a response, your trusted contacts are alerted. They are asked to confirm — not assume — that you are unreachable.
4. A 72-hour grace begins. Once contacts confirm, a 72-hour grace window starts. You can still abort the release at any moment during this window from any device.
5. The legacy plan activates. After grace, the Social Recovery flow becomes available to your contacts at the threshold you set.

Tuning Life Check

• Cadence — match it to your real life. A founder who travels constantly might want quarterly; a parent at home might want weekly.
• Channels — both WhatsApp and email by default. Disable either from settings.
• Travel Mode — set a return date before you leave. You can extend or end it remotely from any signed-in device.
• Contacts to notify — pick a subset of your trusted contacts to receive the inactivity alert. Not everyone in your Social Recovery group needs to be in the loop on cycle 1.

Why the grace period

The 72-hour grace exists because life is messy. People lose phones, end up in places without coverage, miss a window because they're in the hospital but fine. The grace gives you (or someone with your master phrase) a final escape hatch before anything is released, while still being short enough not to delay the people who actually need access.
