FactHeck tells you whether a viral video, image, or social-media post is true — and whether it was made by AI — in about a minute. Misinformation moves fastest on short-form video, where claims are thrown out quickly and almost never sourced. Paste a link to a TikTok, Instagram Reel, YouTube Short, or X post and FactHeck does the work: it pulls out the specific factual claims, checks each one against independent evidence, and gives you a clear, sourced verdict you can actually read. WHAT YOU GET • Per-claim verdicts — each claim is rated and explained, not reduced to a single score • Real sources — see the evidence behind every verdict • AI-generated media detection — check whether an image or video looks AI-generated • Fast — most checks finish in about a minute • Share straight from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube via the share sheet — no copy-paste HOW IT WORKS FactHeck breaks a post down into its claims, gathers evidence from independent sources, and rates each claim with citations. For images and video, it analyses technical and contextual signals to estimate whether the content was AI-generated. WHY FACTHECK • Independent — verdicts follow the evidence, not the people, brands, or platforms involved in a claim • Transparent — every verdict shows its sources and reasoning • Private — we don't post anything on your behalf, and we don't sell your data FREE & SUBSCRIPTIONS Your first check each day is free, no account needed. Create a free account for more, or subscribe for higher limits: • Premium — more checks each month • Pro — highest limits FactHeck is built and operated by SAFEGUARDAI (MIRA) LTD, an independent organisation. Our verdicts are not influenced by the people, brands, or platforms involved in a claim.

Trust, but Veratify. Misinformation moves fast. Veratify helps you keep up — check any claim in seconds, right from your phone, without typing a word. See a suspicious post, headline, or image? Screenshot it and share it to Veratify. Reading an article you're not sure about? Share the link. That's it. Veratify does the work and sends you a clear verdict — backed by real, tappable sources you can read yourself — as a notification when it's ready. Keep using your phone; we'll let you know the moment it's done. HOW IT WORKS 1. Screenshot a claim, or share an article link. 2. Tap Share, then choose Veratify. 3. Get a push notification with a clear verdict. 4. Open it to see the evidence and the sources behind it. No typing. No copying links. No friction. WHAT YOU GET • A clear verdict — Credible, Likely False, Partially True, Contested, Insufficient Data, and more. • Real sources — every result links to the reporting behind it, so you can check our answer yourself. We show our work. • Works on almost anything — social posts, screenshots, headlines, images, and full articles, from any app or website. • On-device privacy — screenshots are read right on your phone. We send only the claim to be checked, never your photos. • Fast repeat checks — a claim we've already verified comes back in about a second. WHAT PEOPLE CHECK WITH VERATIFY • "Is this viral post actually true?" • A screenshot of a claim with no source attached. • A shocking headline — before sharing it. • A news article from an outlet you don't recognize. • An image that might be AI-generated or taken out of context. BUILT ON TRUST, NOT CLICKS Veratify is independent. • No advertising. • No sponsors. • We never sell your data. That independence is the whole point. A fact-checker that answers to advertisers isn't really one. WHY VERATIFY The hardest misinformation isn't on the evening news — it's the post a friend shared, the screenshot with no source, the headline built to make you angry. Those claims strip away every signal you'd normally use to judge them: no byline, no outlet, no context. Veratify puts the signal back. You get a straight answer and the sources to support it, in the time it takes to take a screenshot. HONEST BY DESIGN Every source we use is handed to you, so you can read it yourself and never have to take our word for it. When the evidence is clear, we give you a clear answer. When we don't know — or when a claim simply can't be judged — we tell you, plainly. And we never make things up: no invented facts, no fabricated sources, ever. If you can't verify it, it isn't worth trusting — so we built Veratify to be checkable at every step. Trust, but Veratify.
