The same app on iPhone and Android, and the same file out of it. For whoever receives the file, your choice of phone makes no difference.
iPhone on iOS 18 or newer · Android 12 or newer
Basis costs nothing and gives you one file per calendar month, sealed the same way as on Plus. Fewer files, with nothing taken out of them.
It appears on the first photo you take. There is no template to choose and no watermark to position.
Your captures stay together, with a checklist that says what is still missing and a report you can send straight away.
The seal comes from a supervised service on the European trust list, not from us. Whoever receives the file checks it against that service’s signature.
Short list, and none of it is unusual. The one thing worth checking is the age of the device, because the signing key has to live in secure hardware.
| iPhone | iOS 18 or newer. The signing key is created in the Secure Enclave, which every supported iPhone has. |
| Android | Android 12 or newer, with a hardware-backed keystore. That is standard on phones from roughly 2020 onwards, and where a device has StrongBox the key goes in there. |
| Storage | Your photos stay on the device, so allow for the space: a file of twelve captures at 12 megapixels is around 38 MB. An extract for a single capture is about 3 MB. |
| Connection | Not needed while you shoot. Signing happens on the phone. A connection is needed once, to seal the file and record it in the registry. |
| Account | None. To join a company on Business your phone links with a linking code, again without an account; only people who use the dashboard sign in. |
| The recipient | Nothing at all. A browser is enough to check a file, on any device. |
Not to you, and above all not to the party receiving the file. The same captures, the same report, the same verification page. The only difference is who vouches for the key inside your phone: Apple or Google.
Been sent a file by someone else? Drag it onto the page to see when it was sealed, by whom, and what is inside it. There are four sample files ready too, one of them with a faked date.
