## What is Saltgrain?

Saltgrain is the friend you message when you can't tell if a TikTok is real.
Share any short-form video or post to Saltgrain (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or Instagram carousels) and get a quick read back. Not a stamp. A take. Saltgrain pulls out the actual claims being made, searches real sources, and tells you what holds up, what's stretched, and what's just somebody's opinion.
The verdict lands as a notification with the read right there on your lock screen. Tap in for the deeper breakdown: the claims, the sources, and what got missed.
Built for people who actually want to know.
