shamir secret sharing + age: my digital safe after a few 2 many bike concussions

i’ve had a few concussions from biking accidents over the years. every time i recover fine, but every time i also think: what if next time i don’t? what if i can’t remember how to log into my own machines?

the obvious answer is “give my 1password to my partner”. but that turns one human into the single point of failure for my whole digital life. that felt… wrong.

so i built something i call *ReMemory*.

it’s basically a digital safe.

you put some files in it (password manager recovery codes, notes, whatever), and 5 friends each hold a key. any 3 of them together can open it. none of them can open it alone.

the part i’m weirdly proud of: they don’t install anything. they just open a file in a browser and it works. no server, no account, no setup, no “install this tool first”.

i’m not trying to pitch this as a product or anything. i mostly want to know:

how are you handling this today?

safe? lawyer? printed notes? one trusted person?
