How EverStamp works
Four steps, on your own phone. Your first file is free.
With a deposit, a hire car or damage from the neighbours, the question comes later: what was it like back then, and since when has that photo existed? An ordinary photo carries the date your phone puts on it, and that can be changed. With EverStamp an independent service timestamps the file with your captures, and the other side checks it in the browser.
Four steps, on your own phone. Your first file is free.

The list has no end, because every argument about what something was like has the same shape. These are the common ones.
Move-in and move-out, meter readings, the state of the place at handover. The deposit argument is almost always an argument about what a room looked like on a day nobody photographed properly.
Who reads it: The other party, and whoever settles the dispute
The snags at handover, and whether the builder put them right. Every snag captured on the day, in one file, so the list you send the builder and the captures cannot drift apart.
Who reads it: The builder, the warranty provider, the ombudsman
A record of your house before the neighbours start digging or building. Cracks that were already there and cracks that were not: only a dated record from before the works tells them apart.
Who reads it: The neighbour, the party wall surveyors, the insurer
Scratches, mileage and fuel, before and after the trip. Ten minutes in a car park at the start, against a charge weeks later that you cannot argue with.
Who reads it: The rental company, the platform, the card issuer
The condition at handover, and how the parcel looked when it was sent. It works for both sides: the seller shows what was sent, the buyer shows what arrived.
Who reads it: The other party, the marketplace
The hotel room or the rented scooter on arrival, and again on the way out. A few minutes that you will never think about again unless you need them.
Who reads it: The rental company, the card issuer
A leak from upstairs, cracks in a wall, a dent in the car park. These are the cases where the date is the whole argument.
Who reads it: Neighbours, the building manager, the council, the insurer
Storm, water or a break-in, recorded before you start clearing up. Clearing up is the right thing to do and it destroys the evidence, which is why the captures have to come first.
Who reads it: The insurer and the loss adjuster
Before and after, extra work, and what was under the floor before it was closed up. Hidden work is the clearest case there is: once it is covered, nobody can look again.
Who reads it: The client, the main contractor, the warranty scheme
The first capture of what you made, with the date inside it. Content Credentials record which app and which device made a photo; who took it remains a statement.
Who reads it: Whoever disputes it later
Which question it is decides what the file has to carry. Every moment above falls under one of these six.
| The question | What the file has to carry |
|---|---|
| 1. What condition was it in at the time? | A handover, a check-in, a check-out, damage. Needs a time, a place and a series where anything added later shows up. |
| 2. Was this work actually done, and when? | Before and after, hidden work photographed before it is closed up, progress by date. |
| 3. Was this person here? | A time window, a device and the position the device reported. The file does not establish that someone was there: the position is a statement. |
| 4. Was it delivered or received? | The time, the place and the condition at handover. |
| 5. What was happening at that moment? | An incident in images unchanged since, with the time window and the position the device reported. |
| 6. Who made this, and when? | The origin of the image itself, which a photo with Content Credentials (C2PA) carries inside it. |
