Clu: Tresor: Your digital estate plan

Clu: Tresor is a fully encrypted vault for credentials, notes and documents that can be released to your heirs in the event of death. Through a printed emergency envelope, through a dead man's switch, or through both.

  • Runs locally on your device
  • No account, no cloud
  • AES-256-GCM with Argon2id
  • Developed in Switzerland

The problem

Half of a life is digital today A will rarely is

Accounts, portfolios, insurance policies, photographs, contracts, access to business systems. Much of it now exists only behind a password nobody else knows.

  1. 01

    A note in the safe

    A list on paper is out of date after the first password change and incomplete when it matters.

  2. 02

    A password manager in the cloud

    Convenient day to day, but release in the event of death depends on a provider, on that provider surviving and on its jurisdiction.

  3. 03

    No arrangement at all

    The most common case. Relatives stand in front of locked doors without even knowing which doors exist.

Structure

Two keys One vault

The vault contents are wrapped twice: Once with your master password, once with the emergency key. Both open the same contents, neither reveals the other.

For you

Master password

Long, unique and known only to you. It is stored nowhere and cannot be recovered.

For your heirs

Emergency key

Shown exactly once and meant for paper, kept together with your will. It is the most important safeguard.

Features

Everything a digital estate needs

  • Encryption in the browser only

    AES-256-GCM with Argon2id for key derivation. The server stores ciphertext only and never sees plaintext.

  • A printable emergency envelope

    A printable sheet carrying the emergency key and clear instructions for your heirs. Paper outlives every provider.

  • Dead man's switch

    If the vault is not opened for longer than a set period, the registered heirs automatically receive a message with the release.

  • Backup and restore

    An encrypted backup as a single file, plus a script for an external target such as a NAS or a USB drive.

  • Local, off the network

    The service binds to 127.0.0.1 only and cannot be reached from the network. No data leaves the device.

  • Built for everyday use

    Four kinds of records, cleanly separated: Credentials, notes, documents and heirs. Plus the small things that make a tool usable in the first place.

  • Automatic locking after inactivity
  • Five appearances, three dark and two light, all meeting WCAG AA
  • Your own logo can replace the Clu: Swiss Security emblem
  • Interface in Swiss standard German, set in the Swiss style

Security promise

We cannot open your vault Nobody can except you

  1. 01

    No account

    No registration, no email address, no link to a provider account.

  2. 02

    No cloud

    Your data stays on your device. There is no server of ours where it would be stored.

  3. 03

    No back door

    Without the master password or the emergency key a backup is worthless. For us as well.

Worth knowing

A supplement to a will Not a replacement

Clu: Tresor supplements a will. The application is not a will itself and does not replace a notarised last will and testament. It makes sure that the last will remains technically enforceable.

The dead man's switch only checks while the application is running. The primary safeguard therefore remains the printed emergency envelope, deliberately so.

Frequent questions

What you should know before setting it up

What happens if I forget my master password?

Then you open the vault with the emergency key from the printed envelope. If neither exists any more, the contents stay locked for good. That is not a weakness, it is the heart of the method: There is no recovery path that an attacker could use either.

Where is my data kept?

Solely on your device, in a data folder you can inspect and copy at any time. To make a backup it is enough to copy that folder, or you use the backup export inside the application.

How will my heirs find out about it?

Through the printed emergency envelope you keep together with your will. In addition you can set up the dead man's switch, which automatically sends a message to the registered heirs after a period you choose without a sign in.

Is the application deleted when I uninstall it?

No, the data folder is deliberately kept. A digital estate must not disappear as a side effect of an uninstall. Anyone who really wants to remove the data deletes the folder by hand afterwards.

  • Endlich ein digitaler Tresor, der wirklich datenschutzkonform ist. Die Tatsache, dass alles lokal verschlüsselt bleibt und weder eine Cloud noch ein Konto benötigt wird, ist für mich der entscheidende Faktor. Die Funktion, Zugangsdaten im Todesfall an Erben freizugeben, löst ein langjähriges Problem. Die Bedienung ist intuitiv, die Verschlüsselung (AES-256-GCM mit Argon2id) wirkt robust. Ein absolutes Muss für jeden, der seine Daten selbst in der Hand behalten will.

    C***** H*****

  • Ich nutze Clu: Tresor seit Monaten und bin begeistert. Die Idee, Dokumente und Notizen lokal und verschlüsselt zu speichern, ohne dass ein Anbieter Zugriff hat, gibt ein enormes Sicherheitsgefühl. Der Dead Man's Switch ist ein cleveres Feature für den Ernstfall. Die lokale App läuft flüssig, die Bedienung ist selbsterklärend. Für den monatlichen Preis bekommt man hier eine Sicherheit, die bei Cloud-Anbietern oft fehlt. Top Qualität aus der Schweiz.

Die lokale Speicherung ohne Account ist ein Game-Changer. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Möglichkeit, Notfall-Umschläge auf Papier zu generieren. Das ist ein durchdachtes Gesamtkonzept, das Sicherheit nicht nur verspricht, sondern konkret umsetzt. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Kontrolle über ihre Daten wollen.
