Gone Man’s Switch is a simple web application that allows you to create messages that will be delivered by email when you are absent (gone) for a certain period, AKA a dead man’s switch.
It is a free self-hosted alternative to deadmansswitch.net. It doesn’t have as many features, but it does the job.

That makes sense. A workaround for that is to hosting this in the cloud, with some anual plan.
I think systems like this will be needed more and more, so I do see people paying for more features, but who knows.
