Short-form video is the world's dominant information medium — and the least examined. TruthLayer is an assistant that helps you pause, question, and evaluate a video before believing or sharing it.
Currently in development · iOS, Android & browser extension coming
TruthLayer never declares a video "fake" or "real." It surfaces four clearly separated layers of understanding — and teaches you to evaluate them yourself.
What the video actually shows and says — transcript, scenes, audio signals. Facts, not judgments.
Statements made or implied in the video, extracted with timestamps. What is being asserted?
What independent sources support, contradict, or fail to address each claim. With citations.
Emotional techniques detected — fear appeals, outrage framing, music overlays, missing context.
Every mode is powered by the same evidence. Only the presentation changes for the audience.
Inline analysis panels on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram — insight without leaving the page.
Share any video from your phone and get an evidence report in under a minute. iOS & Android.
Structured media-literacy assignments with teacher-controlled reveals, LMS integration, and class reports.
Age-calibrated video summaries and conversation starters — dialogue facilitation, not surveillance.
Billions of people form beliefs from unverified 15-second clips. The platforms optimize for engagement, not accuracy — and no tool bridges the gap between seeing a video and understanding what it shows.
Every insight shows its work: transcript excerpts, frames, sources, and confidence. Inspectable, not oracular.
"We couldn't verify this" is a first-class answer. Unproven is not the same as false — and we say so.
Guiding questions and literacy resources graduate users who need the tool less — not dependents who need it more.
"We don't tell you what to think. We show you what you're actually looking at — and help you ask better questions about it."— The TruthLayer philosophy
