One-Click 'Lifeboat' Extractor for Non-Tech Survivors

A self-hosted appliance that continuously packages high-value assets (family photos from Immich, financial docs) into a simple, encrypted, offline HTML/ZIP bundle. Upon death, the surviving spouse gets a single decryption key to access the files directly, completely bypassing the need to maintain or understand the complex server infrastructure.

Differentiation

Existing solutions
Bitwarden / 1PasswordRememoryssss-made-easy
Our angle
There is a massive gap between the technical complexity of homelabs and the technical literacy of surviving spouses. Current tools just hand over passwords, but don't extract the actual high-value data (photos, docs) in a simple, legal, and offline manner.
