Life just sort of works. Our phones work. Our credit cards work. Our emergency services work. But what if something went wrong? What if you lost your phone, your wallet, and your ID? Who do you call? How do you call? Whose numbers do you have memorized?

What If?

Overseas travel disaster

Mugged abroad. Phone, passport, and wallet gone. Embassy is a bus trip away and you have no money.

Domestic emergency icon

Domestic emergency

Documents lost or confiscated. No ID, no cash, no way to prove who you are.

Natural disaster displacement

Forced to evacuate at night with no time to gather essentials. The Red Cross is awesome, but a prepaid debit card NOW is better.

A digital go bag gives you a place to start—proof of identity, a way to pay, and people you can reach.

Why this exists

Honestly, I built this for me. I travel a lot, much of it overseas, and sometimes wonder what I would do if something went truly sideways, if I got rolled in a foreign country, lost my phone, lost my wallet, lost my passport, and was a day's travel from the nearest embassy or consulate. No money, no ID, no contact numbers memorized. What would I do? I built this for me, just in case, hoping I never need it, but I figured that I'm not the only person who worries about these things so here we are.

$20/year for something you hope to never need, but will feel better knowing you have it.

FAQ

Some of the security details and why we built it this way. For the curious, click to expand.

How long am I signed in?

Access tokens expire after 5 minutes. If a token is invalid/expired the app auto-redirects to the home screen and you can re-enter your username + PIN.

Tip: On a borrowed device, open a private/incognito window and close it when you’re done.

How are PINs handled?

PINs are hashed server-side with Argon2id; the plaintext PIN is never stored.

What happens when I’m idle or my session expires?

API calls return 401 on expired/invalid tokens. The UI clears local session data and redirects to “/”.

Where are files stored and are there limits?

Files are uploaded to object storage and referenced from the database. Supported types include PDF and common images; max size is 10MB.

Note: Links are unguessable. We’re evaluating private storage with short‑lived signed URLs for additional hardening.

What are the free‑tier limits?

Free tier allows 2 documents, 2 contacts, and 0 stored cards. Paid tiers unlock higher limits.

How does PIN reset work?

PIN‑reset links use short‑lived tokens (30 minutes). After reset, sign in again with your new PIN.

Do you use cookies?

No. The app stores a short‑lived access token in the browser. After five minutes the token expires the application clears it and redirects to the home page.
