Coparent Ally Runs on this computer

Record checker

Check a record

Choose the Signed record file from a parent's pack. This page checks, on your own computer, that every entry is exactly as the iPhone that signed it wrote it.

The file is read here and sent nowhere: this page's security policy forbids it from connecting to anything. You can disconnect from the internet before you choose the file.

What the check shows

  • No entry was changed. Each entry carries a fingerprint of its words, and changing a single letter changes the fingerprint.
  • Nothing was taken out of the middle. Each iPhone numbers its entries and links each one to the one before it.
  • Each entry was signed by the iPhone it names. Each iPhone signs with a key that never leaves it, and the file lists every iPhone's public key.
  • Attached content is what was written. Where a note or an expense's details are included, they match the fingerprint signed at the time.

What it cannot show

  • Whether what was written is true. The record shows what each parent wrote and when; it is not a finding of fact.
  • Whether entries were left off the end. The other parent's own copy shows that: every entry they received is in it.
  • Who holds each iPhone. Each parent can compare the identifier below with the one their app shows under Record, in Signed by.
