Why not just use a password manager for legacy?

Password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden are excellent at storing credentials, but their legacy/inheritance flows require the recipient to already have an account and to navigate a support process. imokie is designed around the release itself: right recipient, right time, no friction.

How does imokie compare to panic-button apps?

Panic buttons are reactive — they help when the worst has already started. imokie is proactive: a daily signal that means you're okay, and an SOS you can still trigger when you need one.

Is imokie a replacement for a paper will?

No. A will handles legal inheritance and needs to be executed under your jurisdiction's rules. imokie handles the digital layer around it — passwords, letters, account recovery — that a will can't practically deliver in time.

Where imokie fits —
and where it doesn't.

imokie isn't trying to replace your password manager or your will. It fills a gap those tools weren't designed for: the quiet daily signal, and the graceful handover when a signal stops.

vs panic-button apps

Panic buttons are one-tap alarms. Useful, but reactive. imokie is a daily proactive signal plus an SOS — the same emergency capability without the anxiety of a phone that only exists to summon help.

vs password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass)

Password managers are excellent vaults. They're not designed for the release: recipients need to own the same product, complete verifications, wait weeks. imokie treats the release as the feature, not the afterthought.

vs cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox)

A shared folder with your passwords is a leak waiting to happen. imokie keeps everything encrypted on your device and only surfaces access to the named recipient when the conditions you set are met.

vs paper wills and legal instruments

A will is for inheritance and legal succession — keep yours current. imokie is for what a will can't move fast enough: your digital accounts, your letters, the practical handover in the first days.
