Everything your people need if they can't reach you.

SpareKey keeps the details your family and friends would need if you went quiet, landed in the hospital, or passed away, and opens them to the right person at the right time.

We'll email you once to confirm. No texts from this form.

Three situations, one place

Can't reach you?

Your people see who can check on you: neighbors, friends, your routines, and where you're traveling. Nothing else opens.

In the hospital?

They get who to call first, your doctors, and what needs handling at home, like pets and mail.

Passed away?

They get your wishes, a step-by-step plan for what to do next, and a personal message from you, just for them.

How it works

  1. You fill it in a little at a time.

    One simple question per screen. Skip anything and come back later. A family member or friend can help you set it up.

  2. You choose who gets what.

    Each person sees only what you've set aside for them.

  3. If something happens, they ask.

    You're messaged right away and can let them know you're fine. If you don't, it opens for them after a waiting period you choose.

Built to be trusted

  • You're always told first. Every request goes to you by text and email before anything opens.
  • No passwords stored. SpareKey points your friends and family to your password manager's own emergency access instead of keeping a list that could be stolen.
  • Privacy per person. A message for your daughter is seen by your daughter, no one else.
  • Every view is recorded. You can see who asked, who opened what, and when.

Why I built SpareKey

When my mom moved to a different town I didn't have any contact numbers for neighbors or friends, though I should have. When a 24-hour period of not hearing from her turned into all-consuming worry, I knew this couldn't happen a second time. When she did get back to me I got those names and numbers immediately.

I was 50 when my dad passed, and I didn't know what processes to follow or even what information I needed. I spent weeks piecing together what he'd never written down. SpareKey takes the guesswork out, so the people you love can focus on each other.
