<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if I just forget to check in for a while?">
    Nothing fires quietly. After a missed deadline you get repeated warnings across push, email
    (and SMS on Pro), each with a one-tap "I'm here". Only after the full grace window — never
    less than 48 hours, and typically days or weeks — does a switch fire. It's built to tolerate
    a forgetful week.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can someone trigger my switch early?">
    No. In this version a switch fires on **inactivity only** — your own missed check-ins. No
    recipient, trustee, or support agent can fire it early.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I lose the passphrase?">
    Encrypted content is **zero-knowledge**: if the passphrase is lost, that content can't be
    recovered — not even by us. Keep it where you'd keep a will, and make sure your recipient
    will have it. Your **account** itself is always recoverable by email, independently.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does my recipient need an account or the app?">
    No. When a switch fires they get a link that works in any browser. For encrypted items they
    enter the passphrase you shared; plain messages just arrive as email.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does it cost?">
    The free plan covers one switch with a message action and the full check-in loop. **Pro
    (\$19.99/year)** adds multiple switches, encrypted files and secrets, a private recipient
    page, and SMS warnings. There's no lifetime plan — a switch runs indefinitely, so the
    subscription keeps it running.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which platforms are supported?">
    iOS, Android, and the web. The recipient release page is always web, so anyone can open what
    you left them without installing anything.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I run it myself?">
    Yes — the core is open-source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable. See
    [Self-hosting](/lastward/self-hosting).
