When it matters, your story shouldn't live in your camera roll. ProofKit helps you document what happened calmly, clearly, in order. Whether it's an insurance claim, a workplace issue, or a personal dispute, ProofKit keeps your dates, photos, video, audio, documents, and notes in one place, so you're never scrambling to reconstruct events from memory. WHY PROOFKIT Stress makes details slip away. Screenshots end up in WhatsApp, texts in Messages, photos in your camera roll and when someone finally asks for a timeline, you're piecing it together under pressure. ProofKit fixes that before it becomes a problem. Every event you log is dated. Every photo, video, audio clip, document, and note stays attached to it. Your case stays in one place, built calmly, on your own terms not reconstructed in a hurry when it counts most. HOW IT WORKS Create a case , name it for what you're going through, like "Insurance Claim — March 2026." Add events as they happen , attach photos, video, audio, documents, and notes while the details are still fresh. Share when you're ready , export a clean PDF, or invite someone you trust to help document alongside you. BUILT FOR SENSITIVE SITUATIONS Your data is tied to your account, not a public feed. Sign in to access your cases, and choose exactly who if anyone you invite to collaborate on a specific case. Your timeline is backed up securely, so you don't lose evidence if your phone is lost, stolen, or replaced. WHO USES PROOFKIT Insurance : document damage, repair visits, and correspondence in order, ready to hand an adjuster a single PDF instead of forty screenshots. Workplace & harassment : build a private, dated record, not a public post. Document incidents calmly as they happen instead of relying on memory later. Personal disputes : keep facts and dates in one place instead of scattered across text threads. Professionals : lawyers and investigators use ProofKit to build dated records, invite collaborators on specific cases, and export PDF timelines when it matters. WHAT YOU GET Dated event timelines for each case Photo, video, audio, document, and note attachments per event One-tap PDF export to share with an adjuster, HR, or counsel Secure cloud backup your record survives even if your device doesn't Private by default, with invite-only collaboration when you want it Search across your timeline PLANS Free : 2 cases, 1 GB storage, timeline, search & PDF export. ProofKit Plus : $4.99/month, unlimited cases, 25 GB storage, secure cloud backup, invite collaborators on cases. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
