Family emergency binder · ICE plan
If something happens to you,
your family finds everything in an hour.
The accounts, the policies, where the documents are, who to call — in most families one person holds that whole map in their head. InCaseVault writes it down: organized, up-to-date, findable. On your phone and on paper — never in the cloud.
Why this matters
Families spend months playing detective —
during the worst weeks of their lives.
After a death or serious illness, spouses routinely spend months reconstructing the basics: which banks, which policies, is there a will, how does the mortgage get paid. People know this — that's why they pay $59–169 for a physical «in case» box and $99–240 a year for cloud vaults that hold what fits in a pocket. One evening of writing things down spares your family that entire search.
Six sections, one hour
Accounts, insurance, documents, bills, key people, instructions — guided sections turn a scary task into an evening's work.
The Emergency Sheet
A printed one-pager for the safe: where everything is and who to call. Works when your phone is locked, lost or gone — that's the point.
Family readiness score
A live gauge across sections AND your access plan. A full binder your family can't reach isn't readiness — the app makes you close that loop.
Apple Legacy Contact, explained
iOS has a built-in way for family to recover your data. Almost nobody sets it up. Our guide walks you through it in two minutes.
Never in the cloud
The most sensitive file your family has shouldn't live on a startup's server. No accounts, no sync, Face ID lock — it stays in your hand.
A map, not a key
By design: where things are and who to call — never passwords or full card numbers. Useful to your family, useless to a thief.
Local-first
A vault this sensitive can't live on someone's server.
Cloud services die, get acquired, get breached — and this particular file lists everything your family owns. InCaseVault has no accounts and no servers: your vault stays on your device behind Face ID, reaches your family through channels you choose — paper, Apple Legacy Contact, a file you hand over — and can't be lost by a company, because no company has it.
Complete the picture: ItemVault documents what you own, ClaimsVault runs the insurance claim if disaster strikes.
FAQ
Questions
Why not just use a note in Google Docs?
Notes rot and leak: no structure, no reminders to keep them current, and they live on servers. InCaseVault gives you guided sections, a readiness score, twice-a-year review reminders, a printable Emergency Sheet — and nothing ever leaves your device.
How would my family actually access it?
Three layers: the printed Emergency Sheet in a known place; Apple Legacy Contact (built into iOS — our guide helps you set it up); and a full PDF or backup you hand to a trusted person. The app walks you through all three.
Is it really a one-time purchase?
Yes — $19.99 once, forever. Cloud alternatives charge $99–240 every year to hold the same information on their servers. A plan for your family's worst day shouldn't be a subscription.
Should I put passwords in it?
No — and the app tells you so. It's a map of where things are, not a key to open them. Use a password manager for secrets and simply note which one you use.
