Tamper-evident capture
Every byte hashed the instant it’s saved.
A single altered byte visibly breaks the seal.
Marcus: the empty-driveway photo carries the time, the location, and a hash that cannot be tampered with after the fact.
Capture
Where the record begins. Built so the moment is preserved before the moment is over.
Voice memo capture & voicemail import
Built-in recorder with biometric gating on save.
Drop in voicemail attachments from your phone.
Layla: four months of voicemails, on the record, before she walks into the courthouse.
Witness ledger
Add a witness name, relationship, and statement to any capture.
The witness travels with the capture into every export.
Dr. Patel: the owner’s consent and the officer’s arrival time are attached to the roadside capture itself.
Move-in / out logs
Per-room walkthrough template.
Photo + note + timestamp per item.
Sam Park: thirty-eight photos on move-in day. Fourteen months later, his security deposit comes back in full.
Kid Calendar & attempted-pickup log
Custody-exchange template with no-show capture.
Verbal-agreement field for what was promised but not documented elsewhere.
Marcus: eleven attempted pickups in four months. By the time of mediation, the pattern speaks for itself.
Pattern timeline
Auto-aggregates captures into a calendar view.
Sortable by tag, type, date, or recipient.
Hannah: the timeline shows every landlord promise on the same axis as every cold day.
Templates for the situations with checklists
Custody, Title IX, OSHA, property condition, Good Samaritan, more.
Built so you don’t have to remember what your form needs.
Beth Foster: the Title IX disclosure template prompts for date, quotes, witnesses, mandatory-reporter timeline.
Discreet mode
Decoy app icon and name on your home screen.
Three-finger swipe to hide the app instantly.
Anonymous DV survivor: the app on her phone looks like a calculator. The three-finger swipe sends her back to it if she has to put the phone down.
Seal
Where the record becomes provable. Bitcoin anchoring, biometric gating, and an AI that never sees your name.
Bitcoin anchoring via OpenTimestamps
32-byte fingerprint anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.
You are not buying, holding, or transacting in Bitcoin.
Aisha: the recording from the day of the source meeting is anchored to a Bitcoin block by the time she leaves the cafe.
AI parsing that never sees your name
Per-item opt-in only. Off by default.
AI sees dates, amounts, events, patterns. Never your identity.
Priya: the bank statement is parsed for dates and figures only. Her name and account number are stripped at the device before parsing.
Biometric delete-gate
Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint required for every destructive action.
Prevents accidental deletes — or coerced ones.
Layla: a stolen phone in an unlocked moment can’t delete the four months of voicemails.
Store
Where the record lives. Encrypted at rest, no third-party trackers, no ad SDKs, no IDFA.
Encrypted cloud export to your own Drive or Dropbox
CaseGuardian-encrypted ZIPs that you control end-to-end.
Future-proof: your records survive CaseGuardian.
Beth Vargas: ninety days of caregiver logs on her own Drive, verifiable against the Bitcoin chain forever.
Zero trackers, zero ad SDKs, zero IDFA
Your evidence never feeds an ad network or trains a model.
A network trace will show Supabase + OpenTimestamps and nothing else.
Erin (corporate counsel): her network audit cleared CaseGuardian for company-wide rollout in ten minutes.
Light & dark themes, large-type mode
High-contrast typography and accessible color modes.
Respects system reduced-motion and dynamic type.
Beth Vargas’s 84-year-old mother: can see her own caregiver entries on her own phone, in 24-point type.
Insights dashboard
Visual summary of pattern, frequency, and unresolved items.
Built for the story your captures already tell.
Marcus: at a glance, eleven attempted pickups, three witness statements, zero successful exchanges.
Verify
Where the record proves itself, without you in the loop. Public, browser-based, trustless.
Public verification page
Paste a fingerprint, see the Bitcoin anchor in your browser.
No app install, no account, no trust placed in CaseGuardian.
Anyone: the judge’s clerk, the adjuster, the journalist’s editor — all verify in the same place, with the same result.
Four-state verifier UI
Bitcoin-anchored, Awaiting block, Hash mismatch, Unknown.
Clear language. No technical jargon.
Opposing counsel: sees Bitcoin-anchored and stops arguing about chain of custody.
Long-term court archive
Sealed .zip + .ots + PDF index, designed to outlive CaseGuardian.
Any OpenTimestamps verifier in the world will validate it.
Future you: the record from 2026 is still verifiable in 2046.
