Frequently Asked Questions

What does CaseStamp cost?

CaseStamp is free to download, and documenting is free with no limits — capture, hash, GPS-stamp, and organize as many cases, photos, videos, notes, and logged conversations as you want, at no cost, for as long as you want. A one-time $9.99 purchase unlocks getting a case out of the app: Share case, Print PDF, Copy report text, and sharing an individual photo or video. No subscription, no per-report fees, no ads.

What do I get for free?

All of the documenting, with no limits and no time trial: unlimited cases, unlimited photo and video entries, GPS stamping, SHA-256 hashing, per-entry notes, and the full communication log. Everything you record stays readable on screen forever, whether or not you ever buy anything. What the $9.99 unlock covers is getting a case out of the app — see what's free and what's paid.

Can I use this in court?

CaseStamp is a documentation tool, not a legal service. Whether a record is admissible or sufficient for a given proceeding is decided by the court under applicable law — consult a licensed attorney about your situation.

What happens if CaseStamp shuts down?

Nothing happens to reports you've already exported. Every report is self-contained: the timestamps, GPS data, and SHA-256 hashes are printed directly on the document, and anyone can verify a file against its hash using a standard tool already built into their computer — no CaseStamp account, server, or company required, ever. See how to verify a report.

What if the other side claims a photo is AI-generated or edited?

The SHA-256 hash printed in the report shows whether the file itself has changed since the moment it was captured — if even one byte is different, the hash won't match. What it can't do is prove what the photo depicts. See what tamper-evidence means — and doesn't for the full explanation.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Anything you haven't exported is gone for good — CaseStamp has no accounts and no cloud backup of its own. Keeping a copy outside the phone means exporting a case to your own Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, or email, which is part of the one-time $9.99 unlock. If an off-device backup matters to you, that's what it costs, and it's worth knowing before rather than after. See backing up your cases.

Does it work offline?

Yes, entirely. Capturing, hashing, timestamping, and exporting all happen on-device, with no network connection required at any point. The only thing that needs a connection is making or restoring the $9.99 purchase, which Apple and Google handle themselves.

Does it work for video?

Yes — video capture works the same way as photos, with the same timestamp and SHA-256 hash, and includes audio. Recording laws vary by state and country; some require everyone's consent before you record audio, so know the rules where you are.

Can someone verify a report without the app?

Yes. Verifying a hash only needs a command already built into their computer — no CaseStamp account or install required. See how to verify a report.

Is my data private?

Yes. CaseStamp has no accounts, no analytics, and no servers — nothing you log ever leaves your device unless you choose to send it. See the Privacy Policy for the full statement.

Does CaseStamp give legal advice?

No. CaseStamp is a documentation tool. It doesn't provide legal advice or legal representation — consult a licensed attorney about your specific situation.
