VeriFlip
Read full descriptionHide full description
VeriFlip is for people who want their coin flips to linger—not vanish the second the phone unlocks. Treat each flip as a small story: heads or tails, at a time and (optionally) a place, with a result you can reread like a diary line or a memento from that day. That fits anyone who likes a personal log of decisions—who drove, who picked the restaurant, what was foreseen, which sports team won—so months later you still have the when, the where, and the outcome in one place. The same mindset shows up in social use: sharing a flip with someone is less “here’s a random bit” and more “here’s the souvenir from our moment.” Friends and partners who trade outcomes, inside jokes, or keepsake messages are a natural fit—especially if they care that the shared entry can still be opened, verified, and trusted as the real record, not a screenshot that could have been edited. Underneath, VeriFlip is still fairness-minded (bets, turns, tie-breakers), but the emotional hook is memory: people who want proof wrapped in something that feels like a journal entry—dated, placed, shareable—rather than a disposable animation. Detailed features : Motion coin flip — Flip with a physical flick on the device; customize what “heads” and “tails” mean for each decision, with haptics so the moment feels real. Journal-style history (“My flips”) — Every saved flip becomes a dated entry with a short narrative line (time, your two options, and the outcome). Optional place context: reverse-geocoded address or coordinates, plus an on-card map when location was recorded. Optional location — You choose whether to attach where a flip happened when you record it, so entries read like small souvenirs from a specific spot. Cryptographic identity & signed flips — The app creates a device identity and can sign flip payloads so a shared record is tied to your public key, not just a screenshot. Share as proof — Share flips using text, links, and QR so recipients get a self-contained bundle they can check later—without you re-enacting the flip. Verify — Open or scan a shared bundle to see whether the signature checks out and the payload is authentic (or clearly invalid). Trust & friends — Trust a friend’s key (e.g. via QR) and give it a name. A dedicated friends’ flips area holds verified flips you’ve received from others, with ways to bring them in from the camera or clipboard and keep the list organized. Privacy first — Your flips and keys live on the device; sharing and verification extend that personal journal outward when you want.
