About the project
iOS app for sealed envelopes with letters, files and secrets that trusted people can open only after your death, following a rule you set. No Seal server: envelopes live in iCloud, keys never leave the phones.
Useful for
- Leave heirs passwords, codes and key locations without exposing them in a will.
- Set a two-of-three threshold and silence periods so envelopes open only after a confirmed death.
- Verify a signed JSON capsule with verify_capsule.py without trusting the developer.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
