I'm a solo developer building ProofMi.
In a world where any photo can be AI-generated or edited, I wanted a simple way to prove a photo is real. So I built one.
Before ProofMi, I spent 20+ years working in cloud infrastructure and security. I've built systems that handle millions of requests and protect sensitive data for enterprises.
When I look at a photo today, I find myself wondering: Is this real? Or AI?
With how fast AI is advancing, that question will only get harder to answer. Generated images are becoming indistinguishable from real photos. Soon, we won't be able to tell the difference at all.
That bothered me. When you look at a photo, you shouldn't have to spend mental energy questioning if it's real. You should just be able to trust it.
So I built ProofMi. It's simple: take a photo in the app, and it gets locked with proof — time, location, and a signature that breaks if anything is changed. Photos you can actually trust are real.
I'm good at the technical side, but I'm still figuring out where this is most useful and who really needs it. Currently focused on rental property documentation — hosts, landlords, and tenants who need proof when disputes happen.
