Start with passwords. End with peace of mind.
KinStone is the only vault that combines credential storage, financial records, personal letters, and multi-party cryptographic release — so the people you love can find what they need, exactly when you want them to.
Chapter 1
The information existed. It just wasn't findable.
Most families spend months reconstructing financial accounts, medical histories, and final wishes — not because the documents didn't exist, but because no one knew where they were.
Scattered Passwords
Browser saved passwords, sticky notes, memory — no one else knows where they are.
Missing Documents
Insurance policies, bank accounts, property records buried in filing cabinets or lost entirely.
No Transfer Plan
Who gets what? Under what conditions? No one wrote it down.
One vault. Three layers. Complete peace of mind.
The Vault
Store everything that matters — passwords, financial accounts, insurance, medical records, legal documents, and personal contacts. Structured, searchable, always accessible to you.
The Story
Write diary entries, personal letters, and life narratives that sit alongside your hard data. What gets passed on is more than a spreadsheet — it's a life.
The Release Engine
Define exactly who gets access to what, under what conditions. Multi-party verification, cooldown periods, and objection windows ensure nothing leaks early and nothing gets lost when it matters most.
Your vault, on your terms. Released when you decide.
The feature that turns a personal tool into a legacy tool.
Multi-Party Release
No single person can unlock your vault. Designated trustees must confirm independently — with cooldown periods and objection windows built in.
Zero-Knowledge Encryption
Your data is encrypted before it leaves your device. We never see it.
Event-Triggered Access
Set conditions: upon death, incapacitation, or any life event you define.
Audit Trail
Every access attempt is logged and timestamped. Full accountability.
The Story Layer
Diary entries and personal letters travel with the vault. What gets passed on is more than a spreadsheet.
Designated Beneficiaries
Name who gets what. Fine-grained permission control across all vault categories.
Bank-grade security. Built for legacy.
We built KinStone with the same security standards used by financial institutions — because the stakes are that high.
Why KinStone, not a password manager?
Every tool solves part of the problem. KinStone solves all of it.

✗“Bitwarden and Keeper are excellent password managers. But when you're gone, your passwords die with you — unless you planned ahead. KinStone is the plan.”
