Dead Man's Switch

Rust dead man's switch with a TUI and web interface for automatic actions if you go silent

Desktopfreeglobal

Dead Man's Switch is a free, open-source tool that automatically deploys a pre-configured action — such as releasing information or sending an alert — if the user doesn't check in periodically, with both a TUI and a web interface and Tor support. It's aimed at people in risky situations (journalists, activists, or anyone with a safety concern) who want an automatic safeguard triggered by their own silence.
