Gotcha
Read full descriptionHide full description
GOTCHA turns your phone into a witness. One tap captures the photo, records where and when, hashes it and encrypts it - before your hand is back in your pocket. WHAT MAKES IT EVIDENCE - The instant a photo is taken, GOTCHA computes its SHA-256 fingerprint and sends it to our server, which records it with its own clock. That record cannot be edited or deleted afterwards - not by us, and not by you. If the photo is altered later, the fingerprint no longer matches. - GPS coordinates and the place name are captured alongside the photo. - Exports include the untouched original file, the hash recorded at capture, and a plain-English file explaining exactly what can and cannot be verified. ENCRYPTED SO THAT ONLY YOU CAN OPEN IT - Photos are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM. - The key lives in your device's secure keystore and is never sent to us. We cannot open your photos. - Nothing is written to your camera roll, so scrolling through your photo library reveals nothing. - A recovery code lets you read your cloud backups again after a reinstall or on a new phone. Keep it somewhere safe - without it, encrypted backups stay unreadable. GUARDIAN CIRCLE - Add the people you trust. When you capture, they are alerted straight away with the time and place. - You decide what is shared. Private stays private. SUBSCRIPTION GOTCHA Pro costs RM5.00 per month after a 7-day free trial. The trial costs nothing, and if you cancel before it ends you are not charged. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and you can manage or cancel yours any time in your App Store account settings. WHAT WE DO NOT CLAIM We cannot promise any photo will be accepted by a court - that is for a court to decide. What GOTCHA gives you is a file that can be shown not to have changed since the moment it was taken, and a server-side timestamp proving when its fingerprint was recorded.
