Read full description

Dossier is a privacy-first iPhone camera for the three jobs where pointing an unredacted lens at a person is a real problem: real estate, legal, and journalism. Faces blur in real time. Voices pitch-shift before the audio is even written to the file. Nothing ever leaves your phone. FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS Walk a listing without filming the seller, their kids, or the family photos on the wall. Every face in frame is mosaiced as you record โ€” including the buyer who just walked into your shot. Drop a manual blur box over a license plate or personal mail. Name each clip in your library ("412 Maple โ€” kitchen") and sort by listing, client, or date. FOR PARALEGALS AND INVESTIGATORS Capture a witness statement with the speaker's voice pitch-shifted from the moment of capture, so no unredacted audio is ever stored. Every export carries a SHA-256 fingerprint you can prove later in court โ€” show months from now that a copy is bit-for-bit identical to the original, or prove it isn't. Live captions burn into the recording for transcription. Lock the library behind Face ID. FOR JOURNALISTS Bystanders auto-blur so a source isn't compromised by being in your B-roll. Mark Region covers anything the auto-pass missed โ€” a badge, a door number. The Safety Pass re-scans your finished clip for faces detected at frame edges. Everything happens locally โ€” no servers, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. WHAT DOSSIER DOES โ€ข Real-time face blur โ€” baked into the file, no unredacted version is ever stored. โ€ข Voice change โ€” pitch-shifted before audio is written. โ€ข Live captions โ€” on-device speech recognition, burned into video. โ€ข Tamper-evident receipts โ€” SHA-256 fingerprint + audit PDF for every export. โ€ข Dual-aspect & dual-camera โ€” portrait + landscape in one take, or front + back simultaneously. โ€ข Mark Region โ€” manual blur box over anything missed. โ€ข Safety Pass โ€” second-look scan for missed faces. โ€ข Photos too โ€” stills get the same face-blur pipeline. โ€ข Import & redact existing footage from your Photos library. โ€ข Titles & tags โ€” built for libraries past a hundred clips. PRIVACY โ€ข No accounts. No sign-up. No analytics. No ads. โ€ข No network access of any kind. Dossier has no servers. โ€ข Face detection, voice change, captions, hashing โ€” all run on-device. โ€ข Face ID / passcode lock optional on the library. REQUIREMENTS โ€ข iPhone running iOS 17 or later. โ€ข Multi-camera and dual-aspect need iPhone 11 or later. A NOTE ON LAWFUL USE Recording laws vary by jurisdiction. Many places require all-party consent for private conversations. Dossier shows a one-time disclaimer on first launch โ€” lawful use is your responsibility. The redaction features are a defense-in-depth tool, not a substitute for consent.
