## What is SealDesk?

Build defensible, audit-ready notary records on iPhone and iPad—then search, review, print, or export from Mac. SealDesk keeps your journal on your Apple devices by default, with no SealDesk account and no journal-data server.

NEW FOR TEXAS AND FLORIDA

TEXAS DEED FRAUD DEFENSE EXPORT
Create a signed evidence packet that bundles the ID scan, OCR-confirmed fields, GPS stamp, timestamp, and hash-chain proof. The packet is structured around Texas SB 693 affirmative-defense requirements for use with an attorney or E&O insurer when a record is challenged or subpoenaed.

COMPLIANCE & RETENTION GUARDIAN
Track commission expiration and 10-year record-retention milestones for Texas and Florida. If a journal is lost or stolen, follow a guided state-specific runbook, see the applicable notification deadline, and generate the required notice.

JOURNAL AUDIT-READINESS SCORE
Check entry completeness on device before a dispute. SealDesk flags missing fields, missing ID evidence, and missing GPS so you can correct gaps while the signing is still fresh—especially useful in Florida, where journal quality can matter even when a journal is not mandatory.

A FASTER SIGNING-TABLE WORKFLOW

• Scan IDs — Read supported driver-license barcodes and passport MRZs, with on-device OCR suggestions for your review.
• Speak entries — Dictate notarial-act details using on-device speech recognition.
• Review before saving — SealDesk never silently accepts a suggested field. You stay in control.
• Capture signatures — Keep the signature with its corresponding journal entry.
• Confirm fees — Review state-aware fee suggestions before accepting an amount.

TAMPER-EVIDENT RECORDS

Every saved entry joins a sequential cryptographic hash chain. Run an integrity check at any time and include integrity information with exported records.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

ID scans, signatures, speech processing, audit checks, and journal records are processed and stored on your device. Optional iCloud sync uses your Apple account and can be turned off.

STATE-AWARE JOURNALING

SealDesk includes tailored fields and workflow guidance for Texas, Florida, and California, including thumbprint, grantee, and ID-number handling where relevant.

FOR

• Mobile notaries
• Loan and refinance signing agents
• Texas and Florida notaries who want stronger dispute-ready records
• Notaries who prefer signer information to remain off a journal vendor server

Try 3 journal entries free. No SealDesk account required.

SealDesk is a record-keeping and workflow tool, not legal advice. You remain responsible for current law, official notices, and your commission requirements.
