Time-locked messages that only send if I stop responding

This is that one. Imagine using this to break up with someone :D
TL;DR: I told this idea to my college freshman son who built A Final Message to deliver private letters and instructions only if user goes silent. It’s privacy-first (client-side encryption), fail-safe (cooldowns + guardian approvals), and exportable (no vendor lock-in).
Why Password spreadsheets and “email after I die” scripts are brittle and risky. I wanted something my family could trust without trusting me (or a single server) to be online forever.
Vibe coded with tech stack: Git > Vercel integrating Twilio, Sendgrid, Stripe and features like split-key release by user's option, cron driven automated check-in alerts.
Would love feedback on current pricing, vulnerabilities to worry about and target markets for kid to focus on.
If I were to trust a person or organization, I would prefer them not talk about technical details at all, and instead ask me as many ways to get in contact as possible (phone number, facebook profile, maybe even physical address), not just single email, and promise to do everything reasonable possible to get in contact within defined term if delivering email fails. And I would also prefer them to be in this business for a few decades at least.
Just out of curiosity, do you relate to this problem and if so, how do you handle the transfer of important information to your loved ones in case something were to happen unexpectedly?
