Meet Superbacked
Superbacked is a desktop app used to back up and pass on secrets that are too important to lose and too sensitive to share.
Two ways to protect what matters
Superbacked offers two backup types — one for secrets only you should access, one for secrets that need to outlive you.
Encrypted backup
Encrypt secrets using passphrase in an encrypted QR code backup called a block — stored on paper or as a file. No account, no internet connection — only you can decrypt them.
See overview →Succession planning
Encrypt secrets using passphrase and split them among people you trust in a set of blocks called a blockset. No single person can access them alone but together the right group can recover what matters — even without you.
See overview →Both backup types produce identical-looking blocks — without the passphrase, there is no way to tell an encrypted backup from a succession plan.

Encrypted backup overview
Step 1
Enter your secrets and set a passphrase
Select “Single block” as backup type. Enter master passwords, seed phrases or other sensitive data. Choose a strong passphrase or use built-in generator.
Step 2
Print or save
Superbacked generates block. Print block on paper or save as a file.
Step 3
Restore secrets
Scan block (or drag and drop file) and enter your passphrase.
Succession plan overview
Step 1
Choose a backup type
Select blockset threshold — how many blocks are needed to recover your secrets: 2-of-3, 3-of-5 or 4-of-7.
Step 2
Enter your secrets and set a passphrase
Enter master passwords, seed phrases or other sensitive data. Choose a strong passphrase or use built-in generator — all blocks share the same passphrase.
Step 3
Print or save and distribute
Superbacked generates blockset. Print blocks on paper or save them as files. Distribute blocks among trusted custodians and locations.
Restore secrets
When the time comes, people you trusted gather blocks and enter passphrase together following recovery instructions. No single person acts alone — threshold you chose protects against loss and collusion alike.
Standalone and detached archive overview
Blocks store text secrets while archives extend Superbacked support to files and folders of any size.
Standalone archive
Encrypt files and folders using passphrase — no blocks needed. Drag and drop files and/or folders, set passphrase and save encrypted archive. To restore, drag archive and enter your passphrase.
Detached archive
Encrypt files and folders alongside text secrets in a block or blockset. Secrets and archive encryption key(s) are stored in block(s) while files and/or folders are encrypted separately into detached archive. To restore, scan block and enter passphrase, then drag and drop archive.
For high-stakes secrets, use Superbacked OS — a hardened operating system that runs offline and persists nothing to disk.
