Some conversations you need on paper. TextProof turns a conversation on your iPhone into a clean, timestamped document you can print, email or hand to someone - without a computer, a cable or a backup password. HOW IT WORKS 1. Screen-record yourself scrolling through the conversation. 2. Import that recording into TextProof. 3. Get a complete transcript as a PDF, CSV or plain text file. Everything happens on your iPhone. Your messages are never uploaded - the app has no servers, no accounts and no analytics, and it works in aeroplane mode. AN EXPORT THAT TELLS THE TRUTH Most transcripts quietly drop whatever the recording scrolled past. TextProof marks those places in the document instead of hiding them, so you know exactly what you have. Times and dates appear only where they were visible on screen - never invented. Anything the text recognition wasn't sure about is flagged, and you can correct any message before exporting. ONE PAYMENT Export the first 20 messages of every conversation free, at full quality, with no watermark - every chat, every time, so you can see exactly what you're getting. Unlimited exports are a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. WHAT YOU GET - Timestamped PDF laid out like the conversation itself - CSV and plain text export - Gap markers where the capture may have missed content - Tap any message to fix its text or sender - Sender names carried through from group chats - Photos and GIFs marked in place, never silently dropped - Nothing leaves your device TextProof is for exporting your own conversations from your own phone. Whether a document can be used in any formal process is always a decision for the people running that process.

Two everyday jobs, handled entirely on your iPhone: turning conversations into files you can read, print or store, and keeping a safe copy of your address book. CONVERSATIONS - Add chat screenshots and the conversation is rebuilt on device - Fix who said what with a tap, hide anything private before it leaves - Export as PDF, plain text, CSV, JSON, XML, a web page or one long image - Keep an archive of your conversations and bring it back later CONTACTS - Save every contact to a vCard, JSON or CSV file - Put contacts back from a saved file — nothing on your phone is deleted or overwritten - Skip entries you already have while restoring - Spot likely duplicates and contacts missing a number - Print a clean contact list as a PDF EVERYDAY DETAILS - Light, dark or system appearance - Optional reminders so a fresh copy is never far away - Backups sit in the app and show up in the Files app whenever you need them PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-in, no servers. Text recognition uses Apple's on-device framework and every file is written on your phone. Contacts permission is the only permission requested, and nothing is ever uploaded. GOOD TO KNOW Conversations are built from screenshots you choose yourself. Apps cannot read the iPhone message database, cannot recover deleted texts, and cannot write messages back into a messaging app. Restoring brings conversations back into this app's own library. – Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase (After free trial period if offered). – Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. – Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal. – Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user’s Account Settings after purchase. – Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.
