Epoch Cipher

Recovery kits for the moments that matter.

Non-custodial recovery for digital estates.

When someone dies or can no longer act for themselves, the people closest to them are often locked out of what mattered: accounts, documents, photos and messages. Epoch Cipher makes sure the people you trust can get to it when the time comes, without anyone, including us, holding a copy in the meantime.

Your secret is split five ways and engraved on stainless steel, one card for each of five people you choose. Any three of them can recover everything. Any two, nothing. Every kit is created and marked by us, offline, and we keep no copy.

Three cards present. Enough to recover.

One set, five cards. Each card carries its share twice: as 33 words on one face, and as a code for a scanner on the other. The set shown is a test set: its words are public and protect nothing.

What we believe

  1. Your secrets stay yours. We never keep a copy of your secret, your recovery cards, or your data.
  2. Recovery never depends on us. Your kit and its offline app work on their own. We are publishing the full recovery method so anyone can recover without us, even if Epoch Cipher closes.
  3. Check, don't trust. We back our claims with things you can check yourself, published as each goes live: the recovery method, the code, signed attestation letters and signed security notices.
  4. We don't need to know what you're protecting. Every intake question is optional. We never ask what's on your drive or what it's worth.
  5. Your call, in writing. Where a protection is optional, we explain it and you decide. If you decline one, we record it as your decision, and the price stays the same.
  6. Within reach. You choose the level of service by what's at stake for you, and we keep an entry option within reach of ordinary families.
  7. A practice, not a platform. A real person doing careful, hands-on work meant to last for decades. Plain words, honest claims, and no reviews until we have real ones.

Reduce single points of failure.
Increase recoverability.

Five people instead of one. Steel instead of a phone. Steps a worried person can follow, rehearsed before they are needed.

Do you hold my accounts, money, or crypto?
No. Epoch Cipher is non-custodial. You keep control.
Do you need my passwords or secret codes?
No. We do not ask for passwords, recovery codes, or secret phrases — or what you are protecting.
What do you actually deliver?
Five sealed kits, one per custodian, each with an engraved steel card, an offline copy of your encrypted data, a hardware key, and a printed guide. Plus a signed attestation that we kept nothing.
