Public previewBrowser-local inspection with optional AI interpretation.

APN · File Witness

AI never overwrites a verified fact.

Drop a file. Its SHA-256 fingerprint is computed in your browser, so the original file never leaves your device during local inspection. Verified facts, file-reported metadata and AI interpretation remain permanently separated.
