Somewhere Safe

By STNC · iPhone, Android & web

Somewhere safe for the things you’ll need to find again.

Passports, policies, the boiler manual, where the spare key is. Locked so only you can open it, and always where you left it.

01  /  Find it again

The things you look for a few times a year, and can never find.

Put it somewhere safe. Properly.

Take a photo of the passport or the policy. Write down where the spare key lives. We read the picture on your phone and fill in the title and the expiry for you to check.

Ask “where is it”, get an answer.

One search box. Titles, tags, notes and “where it is” all count. “Bedroom drawer” finds the passport. “Third pot” finds the key.

Know before it runs out.

An “expiring soon” list on the front page and a quiet reminder ninety and thirty days before. Passport, MOT, insurance, warranties.

The whole household, one place.

A shared vault for the boiler manual, the insurance, where the stopcock is. Everyone at home can add to it and search it.

02  /  Someone you trust

And if the day comes when you can’t get to it, someone you trust can.

Name a partner, a grown-up child, a close friend. If you can’t get to your vault, they can ask to open it. You choose who. You choose how long they wait. And nothing opens without you being told.

  1. You invite them. You compare six words on your two screens so you know it is really them.
  2. They ask. Only if they need to. You hear about it straight away, and again while they wait.
  3. You decide. Decline with one tap, let them in sooner, or let the wait run its course: 7, 14 or 30 days, your call.

Neither STNC nor the person you trust can open your vault alone. It takes both, and the wait, and your silence.

03  /  How safe

Safe means we can’t read it either.

Locked on your device

Everything is encrypted on your phone or computer before it goes anywhere, with a passphrase only you know. Our servers hold scrambled data and nothing else.

A recovery sheet, not a reset button

When you start, you get 24 words to print and keep. Lose the passphrase and the words and the vault is gone for good. We say so plainly because it is true.

Nothing to sell

No ads, no trackers, no data broker. We cannot see what you keep, so there is nothing for us to sell. STNC is a small studio in England and this is how we prefer it.

Open about how it works

The way keys are made, split and shared is written down and the same on every platform. Read the specification.

We are letting people in a few at a time. Leave your email — we'll confirm it now, then write once more when it is your turn.

Your email is used for the confirmation and the invite, and nothing else.
