Gone Man's Switch is a simple web application that allows you to create messages that will be delivered by email when you are absent (gone) for a certain period, AKA a dead man’s switch.

It is a free self-hosted alternative to deadmansswitch.net. It doesn’t have as many features, but it does the job.

I have hidden a treasure from my family fortune. A series of clues have been stored in various physical and digital forms around the world and the internet. The first clue will be sent using this web app.

The recipients will be a distribution list of my closest family, friends, and one of you reading this.

Reply here and I will determine a method to choose one you.

Let’s the mystery……begin!
