MyDigitally answers a narrow question: what happens to your accounts, credentials, and digital assets when you’re no longer around to manage them. These notes cover how it’s built — the zero-knowledge credential vault and why encryption had to be designed in rather than bolted on, how the asset audit works, and what a new user should do in their first ten minutes.

A new Encrypted Credential Vault has been successfully pushed to the project. Think of this like a mini-1Password or Bitwarden built right into the app. When you view an asset, you can now securely attach passwords, API keys, or private notes to it.

That is why I built MyDigitally (mydigitally.app). The app evolved from a simple core inventory tool into a complete, secure digital vault ecosystem.   Why MyDigitally is Needed The problem is simple: our digital lives are worth more than we realize, and they are completely undocumented.   What is MyDigitally and How Does It Work?
