Proof of Life

A verified selfie that proves you are real.

A Proofie is a selfie with a receipt. Face ID or Touch ID confirms a real person took it. The moment is timestamped so it can't be edited, reused, or faked. Send one. Ask for one back. Move on.

What it is

A selfie with a receipt.

When you take a Proofie, your phone's Face ID or Touch ID confirms a living person is behind the camera. The moment is sealed so no one can edit it, swap it, or claim it was taken somewhere else.

You send your Proofie. They send one back. Now you both know you're talking to a real person.

Open the app, take the Proofie, share it. No account. No subscription. No friction.

1

Download the app.

Free on iOS and Android. No account, no subscription, no card on file. Open it and you're ready.

2

Take a Proofie.

Look at your phone. Face ID or Touch ID confirms a real person is behind the camera, then the moment is sealed.

3

Share with anyone.

iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, dating apps. Your match opens it on the web and sees the proof.

"Hey, before we meet up, let's swap Proofies. It's a free app that confirms we're both real. Takes 10 seconds."

A normal way to ask
What you get

Quiet, careful, on your side.

Face ID confirms a real person.

The same secure check that unlocks your phone confirms a real, living person took the photo.

Sealed at the moment of capture.

The Proofie includes a timestamp anchored to a public clock so no one can claim it was taken later.

Works anywhere you talk.

A Proofie travels as a link. It opens in any browser and your match can verify it in one tap.

No account. Nothing to remember.

Open the app, take the Proofie, share it. We don't ask for an email, a password, or a card.

Yours to delete.

Proofies you've sent live on your phone. You can delete them whenever you want.

Built for everyday people.

For dates. For sales calls. For moving day. For grandparents. For anyone who needs to ask, "is this really you?"

Case study

For dating, it's the easiest way to ask.

Romance scams cost Americans more than a billion dollars in the first nine months of 2025, up 22% from the year before. The fix isn't a smarter algorithm. It's a quick, private way to ask, "are you real?" before the conversation gets serious.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Is it really free?

Yes. The app is free on iOS and Android. No subscription, no card on file, no ads. We don't sell your photos or your contact info.

How is a Proofie different from a regular selfie?

A regular selfie can be a saved photo, an old picture, or an AI-generated image. A Proofie includes a Face ID or Touch ID check that confirms a real person took it right now, then seals the moment so it can't be edited or reused.

What if my match refuses to send one back?

That tells you something. Asking is normal. The app is free and takes ten seconds. If a person you've never met can't manage that, you've learned what you needed to know.

Where do my Proofies live?

On your phone. You can delete them whenever you want. The shareable link opens a public verification view so the person you sent it to can confirm it.
