Launching today
EverStamp is a timestamp camera app. It puts the date, time and place in every photo and video, as your phone gives them, and keeps the captures together as one file. When you close the file, an independent service adds a qualified timestamp, and any later change shows up. The recipient can check it in any browser. Footages carries C2PA Content Credentials. For businesses: requests with your own checklist, and a dashboard. Made for rental handovers, damage claims, inspections and more.

Hi Product Hunters,
Joeri here, with my co-founder Arjen, from the Netherlands.
We kept running into the same kind of argument: the rental car that "already had that scratch". The meter readings nobody wrote down when the keys changed hands. The parcel that arrived damaged, or did it? Everyone had photos. They settled nothing.
That is the frustrating part: editing a photo or video, or the date on it, takes seconds these days. So footage turns into your word against theirs. Annoying when you are the customer, and just as annoying for the company that has to decide what to believe.
So we asked ourselves: how can the person who receives your footage check them, without having to take your word for it?
That became EverStamp, a timestamp camera for iPhone and Android. The idea in one line: once the file is sealed, every change shows up. Edit a single pixel, change the date, drop a photo or swap the order, and the check says so straight away.
You take the photos or videos in the app, along a checklist if you like. Each record is signed on the phone with a key that Apple or Google attests sits in its secure hardware.
The footage stays together as one file. When you close it, a qualified trust service under EU eIDAS rules timestamps it. That timestamp is the time that counts.
From then on, any change to the images or their order shows up.
The recipient drops the file on everstamp.app/verify. No account, no app. Every check but one also works with public tools; the last one is against our public registry.
One thing we would rather say here than in the comments: EverStamp cannot tell you what a photo or video shows. A photo of a screen is still a photo (we're already exploring more advanced capture methods). What it records is that this footage existed in this form before the timestamp, and whether anything changed since. What that is worth in a dispute is for the other party, an insurer or a court to decide.
Your first file is free, no subscription. With Plus you can record video too. Companies can send a customer a request link with their own checklist and get the file back in a dashboard, with a 14-day trial.
We would love to hear from you:
When did a photo last fail to settle an argument for you? The deposit, the damaged rental car, the damaged parcel, the insurance claim, the work carried out by a mechanic?
If your business runs on footage from customers or crews: how do you collect them today, and where does it go wrong?
Thanks for having a look. We are here all day.
Joeri & Arjen
The other side checking the file in a browser with no account is the clever bit I think. We lease our company cars, so a return photo whose date nobody can argue with sounds pretty useful.
@simon_moxon Hi Simon, this is an perfect example for the use case of EverStamp!
yeah, having timestamps that you can't mess with without getting caught sounds handy. i always forget to note down when i hand off stuff, so maybe this will save my butt from those "it was like that when i got it" convos. might forget to use it though!
@therayess Hi Ammar, thanks for your comment! Good point on the fact that you might forget it. We would like to get on everyone's mind before handing over stuff!
This is pretty cool! I can see it being really handy for rental disputes or proving when something happened.
Congrats on the launch !
@encryptedtouhid Thanks Khaled!
Hey! I nerd out on connecting stuff, so being able to timestamp directly through other apps sounds neat, but knowing me, i'll probably get ahead of myself and then find a way to procrastinate setting it up. Still, cool idea! Congratz on the launch!
Looking forward to your feedback on this one!
