Start building a clear private record of what happened. ProofLog helps you record what happened, keep the supporting proof with it, and build a clear private record you can return to or export when needed. Log incidents, exchanges, schedule changes, school issues, medical concerns, messages, and other important events. Add screenshots, photos, PDFs, and documents directly to the entries they support — or save files first and connect them later. Your Story and Files stay together in one organized Record, with timestamps and record history that make it easier to see what happened, what was added, and when. When communication gets difficult, ProofLog also includes focused Guidance tools to help you slow down, think clearly, and decide what to say next. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log what happened Record incidents, exchanges, schedule changes, school issues, medical concerns, messages, and other important events while the details are fresh. • Add proof Save screenshots, photos, PDFs, and documents. Link them to the entry they support or keep them available to connect later. • Build your Record View your chronological Story and supporting Files together in one private place. • Keep a clear history See when records were created, when supporting files were added, and when entries were changed. • Export your record Create an organized PDF of your entries and supporting evidence when you need to share or review it. • Reply Calmly Turn emotionally charged messages into clearer, more grounded responses. • Set a Boundary Draft firm, respectful wording without overexplaining or escalating conflict. • Reply or Wait Think through whether a message needs a response now, later, or at all. • Talk It Out Work through a difficult situation before deciding what to say or do next. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ProofLog is built as your private record. It is not a shared messaging platform, shared calendar, or portal that another person joins. Your records remain private unless you choose to export or share them. ProofLog can be especially useful for high-conflict co-parenting, custody documentation, difficult communication, high-conflict divorce, and other situations where keeping a clear record matters. ProofLog is not legal advice, therapy, or crisis support. ## SUBSCRIPTION Start with a 3-day free trial, then continue with **$8.99/month** or **$69.99/year**.
