guardian check · dead-man’s switch

Is your person still active?

Paste your guardian packet (the NULLDMS1.… line they gave you). Your browser derives their sealed heartbeat mailbox and checks for recent signs of life. You learn nothing else — heartbeats carry no content.

How this works. Their device posts a tiny sealed heartbeat whenever they use NULL (every ~45 minutes while it’s open). A check here reliably covers the last hour, so the protocol is simple: check once a day. Someone alive and using NULL shows ✓ within a day or two of checks; repeated silent checks over several days, plus being unreachable every other way, is the signal to act. The message itself was split with Shamir secret sharing when they set it up: fewer than the required packets reveal nothing, mathematically. NULL’s servers cannot read heartbeats, cannot see who checks, and never held the message.

Guardians hold real power: enough of you together could open this early. They trusted you not to.
