About
Continuity for whoever holds the keys
Proceedly is two things: software that makes sure the people who depend on you aren't stranded if you go unreachable, and a plain-language library on the mechanics of emergency access, digital estate planning, and business continuity. This page is who's behind it — and the standards every guide we publish is held to.
Why Proceedly exists
If other people depend on access only you hold — client cloud keys, a domain registrar, the logins that keep a dozen sites online — you're a single point of failure. Not dramatically; most days it just means you're the only one who can get in. But one real stretch of being unreachable and the people relying on you are stuck, with no safe way in.
The built-in tools only act after a death certificate or many months of silence. That's the wrong trigger for the most likely emergency, which is being unreachable, not gone. So Proceedly works on a quiet, recurring check-in: miss it past a grace window you set, and a person you trust confirms before anything moves — or, on a paid plan, it releases automatically. What gets handed off is your instructions, encrypted in your browser — never your passwords or keys.
Who we write for
Freelancers and agencies-of-one who hold clients' access, bookkeepers and fractional operators who hold the keys to other people's money and systems, small-business owners, and anyone who's the one person who can get into what matters. Our guides are written for that reader: practical, specific, and free of fear-mongering.
Editorial & sourcing standards
Our guides cover access, estate, and legal mechanics where being wrong has real consequences. So every one is held to the same rules:
- Primary sources, not hearsay. Every factual claim links to the authoritative source — the vendor's own documentation (Google, Apple, Bitwarden, 1Password, Microsoft), the platform's help center, or the law itself (for example the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act). We don't cite each other's blog posts.
- Fact-checked before publishing. Each guide is checked against those sources, and we quote the specific limit or step rather than paraphrasing it into something vaguer.
- Dated and maintained.Every guide shows when it was published and, when facts change, when it was last updated. Provider policies shift; a guide that's wrong is worse than none.
- Plain language, no fear-mongering. We explain the mechanics calmly. The topic is serious enough without dramatizing it.
- Honest about the product.When a tool — ours included — doesn't cover something, we say so. We tell you what each option does anddoesn't do, and we never store your passwords or keys, only an encrypted plan you control.
Spot something wrong or out of date? That's a real help — email hello@proceedly.io and we'll check it against the source and correct it.
How we handle your data
Your handoff plan is encrypted in your browser with AES-256 before it is ever stored — we only ever hold the locked version, never your passphrase, keys, or passwords. A breach of our servers reveals nothing readable. Proceedly points you at your own password manager's emergency access rather than replacing it.
