When something happens to you, the people you leave behind face an impossible task — finding every account, getting past 2FA, and knowing what to do next. Most never figure it out.
Fern & Echo is how you prevent that. Document your digital life now. Give your executor a clear path through it later. If you don't — nobody gets in. Not your family. Not us.

Fern & Echo has no backdoor. If you lose your vault password and haven't shared access, no one — including us — can recover your data. Set up executor access before you need it.
The Problem
Families don't just need to know what accounts exist. They need a way through login, 2FA, and recovery — for every account, at the worst possible time.
No one thinks about this until they're standing at a login screen for an account that belonged to someone who just died. By then, it's too late to document anything.
This is where most plans fail.
How It Works
Document what exists, how it's secured, and how to get through it. Accounts, 2FA methods, recovery paths, insurance policies, financial records — the full picture.
Give a trusted person read-only access to a structured guide — not raw credentials. They see what to do, in what order, with the context to actually do it.
Generate a self-contained Emergency Access Guide — a complete document your executor can open without any app, any login, any internet connection.
Built For This
About
Most people know they should have a will. Almost no one has a plan for their digital life — and the digital life is where families get stuck.
Fern & Echo is a proactive vault. Not a password manager. Not a will. A system for documenting access — not just storing information. Credentials without context leave families guessing. Fern & Echo provides the context.
We built it client-side encrypted because the people who need this information are your executor and your family — not us.
The consequence of client-side encrypted is real: if you don't document and share access before something happens, no one will be able to get in — including you, if you lose your password. This isn't a limitation. It's the point.
Encryption happens in your browser. The server receives ciphertext only. This isn't a privacy policy — it's how the architecture works. We have no backdoor.
Full exports in HTML, Markdown, CSV, and JSON. No partial data. No paywalled exports. Your information is yours unconditionally — even if you cancel.
We don't replace your password manager. We document where things are, how to access them, and what to do. Context is what's missing from every other solution.
If pricing ever changes, it will be communicated publicly and in advance. No silent changes. No bait and switch.
