Vault of silences — user guide

Encrypted secrets, distinct from the digital testament: recipient, media up to 1 GB, Famille plan.

Updated: 20 August 2026

1. What the vault is for

The vault holds secrets, sensitive documents, letters, information for a named person — not a public feed.

It is distinct from the digital testament: same vault technology, different space and intent.

  • Secret categories: sensitive, documents, letters, secret (not “testament” here).
  • Recipient: name and email required.
  • Attached media: up to 1 GB per file (50 MB for in-browser Zero-Knowledge).

From the vault, legacy “?category=testament” links go to /testament-numerique.

2. Store, attach media, delete

Famille plan required to create. The form needs title and body plus the recipient.

  • Encrypted save (AES / Zero-Knowledge depending on the account).
  • Add media after creating the item.
  • Delete the item or a single file.

The recipient is not a guest who writes in your vault: they are the person the secret is meant for, in your own organisation.

3. Required plan

The vault is not included in Essentiel.

  • Famille and Héritage: open.
  • Essentiel: upgrade banner.
  • The wish list and funeral prep are related tools from the vault area.

See Pricing.

4. Privacy

Content is encrypted. With Zero-Knowledge, encrypt in the browser before save.

  • Hosting in France.
  • Not a notarised act.
  • Sign in again if a secret no longer decrypts.

Privacy policy, encryption section.

Go further

The secrets vault and the digital testament are two spaces. Old “testament category” vault links redirect to the testament.

One secret, one recipient

Title, text, recipient name and email are required. The testament is written elsewhere.
