outlive.diy: A Bitcoin custody plan that tries to break itself
A local-only tool for designing Bitcoin self-custody and recovery plans, then testing what happens when keys, backups, places, or people become unavailable.
Field notes
The interface represents custody as relationships among keys, backups, locations, and people rather than as wallet credentials. Its examples include a 2-of-3 arrangement in which each key has both a device and a steel backup, with sites distributed across a home, bank, and relative. The page also describes a repaired version that removes concentration and adds an inheritance path. It cautions that a clean result means only that the program found no modeled problem, not that the real plan is safe.
