SafeBeyond: Send Messages from Beyond the Grave

We all have to leave sooner or later, but relatively few manage to have their affairs in order when the time comes. The relationship between technology and death has always been uncomfortable, especially in this era of social networks and virtual profiles. The point is that each person faces the process differently, and with that in mind, SafeBeyond emerges as an option that allows us to leave a kind of digital legacy, with personal messages, images and documents.

Death generates all kinds of feelings and reactions. For some it is an enemy to overcome, for others, something we must learn to accept. Even so, most tend not to think about it, with a success I would dare to call limited. Personally, I find it easier to talk about this topic by using myself as an example. I am 35 years old and have some health problems. Nothing serious for now, but each new pain or discomfort carries with it that possibility. I don't know if I'll have another 35 years of life, and no matter how dark that thought is, nothing can take away its honesty.

So what can we do? Death catches up with us, but that doesn't mean it should claim our company without saying anything first. That is exactly what SafeBeyond offers. With this service, you can record videos, leave scheduled messages, store personal documents and other types of data using an official app (Android for now, iOS very soon), or by entering the site directly. Another very important aspect of SafeBeyond is that it enables the user to assign digital heirs, who will receive access to the stored information (whether on this or other platforms) and to profiles on social networks.

Free access to SafeBeyond provides a maximum of 1 GB to store data, however, this can be expanded to 30 GB with a monthly fee of eight dollars. In its first month of operation, SafeBeyond added more than five thousand users, a clear demonstration that there are many people out there thinking about leaving something of themselves for their loved ones before departing. The big question is how those who are left behind will take it. The line between the moving message of a deceased father and a “digital ghost” that appears out of nowhere can be much thinner than we imagine...
