ABOUT HYNDSYT

Recording has always asked you to decide first.

Hyndsyt is building Witnuss, a pocket-sized device that lets you decide afterward, with proof that the past was not created after the fact.

EVERY RECORDER

Decide, then record.

THE LEAD-UP GONE RECORD

You have to predict that something important is about to happen and press Record beforehand. By the time you realize it matters, the lead-up, often the very part that explains why, is already gone.

WITNUSS

Live, then decide.

THE MINUTES BEFORE KEPT PRESS

When something happens, press once, afterward. The minutes that led up to it are already there.

Same press. Opposite fate for everything before it.

Significance arrives late.

Human memory is lossy and reconstructive. We forget exact wording, sequence, tone and detail, and eventually whole moments. Yet large parts of our lives still depend on what two people later agree was said.

  • AT A TRAFFIC STOP

    An officer tells you to put your phone away. Whatever is said next lives only in two memories.

  • AN ENCOUNTER

    An unexpected interaction becomes an allegation.

  • AFTER A COLLISION

    A driver admits fault at the side of the road, and tells a different story the next day.

  • AT HOME

    A loved one says something you don't realize will matter until much later.

  • AT THE DOCTOR

    A doctor delivers a diagnosis. You hear the first sentence, and nothing after it.

  • AT WORK

    A manager gives five instructions. You remember four.

Today, if you did not think to record beforehand, that piece of reality is simply gone. Witnuss removes that constraint.

A rolling, local memory.

Witnuss keeps a rolling, local audio memory of the world around you: roughly the previous 30 minutes, always, and through Long Memory, the ability to reach back much further. None of it becomes a saved recording unless you decide, after something happens, that the moment matters.

Instead of recording from the moment you realize something matters, it gives you the part that made you realize it mattered in the first place.

The second part is proof.

While its memory is still being overwritten, Witnuss continuously creates cryptographic commitments to the audio, before anyone knows which moment will ever be kept. When you later press save, Witnuss preserves the audio that came before and can demonstrate that it existed before the decision to keep it. We call this proof of anteriority. It is patent pending.

IN THIS ORDER

  1. 01 The audio existed first.
  2. 02 The cryptographic commitment existed first.
  3. 03 Then you decided to keep it.

That order matters more as generated and manipulated audio becomes more convincing. A normal audio file can tell you what it contains, but its existence alone does not prove that it came before the decision to produce it. Witnuss is designed to establish that chronology. It does not only say, "here is a recording of what happened." It is designed to show that the audio existed before the person carrying Witnuss pressed to keep it.

With the Hyndsyt app.

Witnuss works with the Hyndsyt iPhone app to reach back through Long Memory, keep moments, add why they mattered, and check where they came from, all local-first.

Normal recorders ask you to decide what matters before life happens. Witnuss lets you decide afterward.

Hyndsyt is building retroactive preservation with proof of anteriority, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
