Been working on this for a while. The idea is to give everyone a tool to create provably real photos and videos. Uses device level integrity and a distributed ledger for verifiability.

iOS version is more feature-rich and robust but Android is catching up.

Would love feedback :) What would you like to see? What applications do you envision for something like this?

How do you assess the consumer value proposition? I think everyone would want to know if the images and videos they find on social media are real, but who would find it essential to know and would be willing to pay a service like yours to get that answer?

Maybe intelligence agencies? Newspaper organizations? Detective agencies?

We've started with a focus on news organisations and insurance companies. That said, we want to keep this free for individual users!

I've been using the Android version of this app on my Google Pixel 9Pro for about two weeks. It's a first class provenance solution, but the camera needs some pro tools and manual override

Thanks! What kinds of pro tools would you like to see? Exposure control, focus control, etc? Or more along the lines of metadata management?
