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.
