Free · 3/month

Cryptographic proof that your document, idea, or creative work existed at this exact moment. The SHA-256 hash and timestamp live inside the .uds file itself — not in our database.

When proof of existence matters

Creative work

Prove your screenplay, artwork, music, or writing existed before a dispute arises.

Invention ideas

Establish prior art for patent applications without filing a patent first.

Business plans

Timestamp your concept, strategy, or product design before sharing with investors.

Research data

Prove your dataset or results existed at a specific date — before analysis or publication.

Why UD Proof beats alternatives

Proving something existed at a specific moment has historically required lawyers, notaries, or expensive cryptographic timestamping services. UD Proof does it in seconds, for free.

📧
Email to yourself

No tamper evidence. Easily backdated or faked. Not admissible in most commercial disputes.

📄
PDF timestamp

Visual only — the timestamp is a text overlay that can be removed or altered. Not cryptographic.

Cryptographic timestamping services

Typically $10–50 per proof, require crypto wallets, and create platform dependency. Complex for non-technical users.

🔏

Free for 3 proofs/month. SHA-256 hash embedded in the .uds file. Mathematically verifiable. No wallet. No account. Proof lives in the document.
