EchoVaults was born from a simple realization: digital privacy shouldn't end when life does.
In a world where our most intimate thoughts live on our devices, we believe everyone deserves the dignity of controlling who can access their final words, memories, and secrets.
The Beginning
Every great privacy tool starts with a moment of vulnerability.
"Kunle wrote some sensitive info in his journal once. In the journal title page, he said: 'Only my wife or children should read this if I am no longer here.' But he knew if someone else were to find the journal before they do, it would most likely be read out of curiosity anyway."
That story captures exactly why we built EchoVaults. Kunle's vulnerabilitywanting to share something meaningful with loved ones while fearing it might fall into the wrong handsis universal.
In our digital age, this vulnerability has multiplied. Our phones contain more intimate details about our lives than any journal ever could. Yet when it comes to controlling who can access this information after we're gone, we have fewer options than Kunle had with his physical notebook.
EchoVaults bridges that gap. It ensures your digital legacy reaches only those who truly knew you, using technology that even Kunle could trust with his most sensitive thoughts.
We're building more than an appwe're creating a new standard for digital dignity and posthumous privacy.
Every design decision prioritizes user privacy over our convenience. We collect nothing, store nothing, and know nothing about your use of EchoVaults.
Digital legacy protection shouldn't be a luxury. EchoVaults is free, accessible globally, and designed with highest level of commitment for all technical skill levels.
Technology should serve human emotions and relationships, especially during life's most difficult moments. We design for empathy, not just efficiency.
Open source cryptography, regular security audits, and honest communication about our methods, limitations, and funding.
We refuse business models based on surveillance capitalism. No ads, no data sales, no engagement manipulationjust tools that serve humanity.
Proven cryptographic standards, regular third-party audits, and a bug bounty program ensure EchoVaults can withstand real-world threats.
Internet space is full of services that compromise privacy for convenience. We chose the harder path.

Quick answers to common questions about EchoVaults.
Yes. We're funded by donations from privacy advocates, not by charging users or selling data. This ensures EchoVaults remains accessible to everyone regardless of financial situation.
Our encryption code is open source and audited by independent security firms. Everything is encrypted locally on your device before storage, and we never receive the encryption keys. Even if we wanted to access your data, it's cryptographically impossible.
Since everything is stored locally on your device, EchoVaults shutting down wouldn't affect your existing data. You can export encrypted backups and the app will continue working offline. We're also committed to open-sourcing the entire app if we ever cease operations.
EchoVaults uses the same encryption standards trusted by banks and governments (AES-256). Our security practices are audited annually, and we have a bug bounty program for security researchers. Most importantly, we're designed so you don't have to trust useverything is encrypted locally.
We cannot give what we don't have. Since all data is encrypted locally on your device and we never receive your encryption keys, we have no access to your vault contents. Even if legally compelled, we physically cannot decrypt or provide your personal information because it never reaches our servers.
