StoryNotary

StoryNotary is a mobile + web app that helps families and local historians capture oral histories with built-in proof of authenticity. Users record audio/video interviews, add basic metadata (who, where, when, topics), and generate a “verification packet” that includes consent, identity checks, and tamper-evident file fingerprints. The goal is not flashy AI storytelling; it’s reliable preservation that archives, libraries, and relatives can trust years later. The app produces shareable links for family members, and export bundles compatible with common archival workflows. AI is used sparingly: automatic transcription, speaker labeling, and keyword indexing to make recordings searchable. Monetization is straightforward: subscription for storage and exports, plus one-time “archive-ready” packages for community groups. This is a serious tool for preserving history without turning it into social media content.
