Can I download it now?
Yes — GOTCHA is live on the App Store and Google Play. The first
seven days are free; after that it is RM 5 a month for five
people. GOTCHA-CAM, the separate camera, is still in development.
Does it record video or sound?
No. GOTCHA captures photos only. There is no video recording and no
audio recording, on the phone or on the camera.
Can you see my photos?
Not your private photos. They are encrypted on your phone before
anything leaves it, with a key that never reaches us. The honest
cost: lose the phone without saving your recovery code and nobody
can open those backups, including us.
Photos you share with your Guardian Circle are encrypted too, with
your circle's own key. Our server holds that key and hands it only
to current members; when someone leaves, photos taken afterwards use
a new key they never receive.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Capturing, fingerprinting and sealing all happen on the phone
with no connection. Captures upload themselves once you are back
online — nothing is lost offline.
What if I don't allow location access?
The photo is still captured and still sealed. It is recorded as
having no coordinates rather than being given false ones. Only
camera access is actually required.
How do I give evidence to police, a lawyer or an insurer?
You export it. The export carries the untouched original and the
fingerprint taken at capture, so they can check for themselves that
it has not been altered. Nothing leaves your phone unless you send
it — there is no portal and no back door.
How do I cancel?
In your Google Play or App Store subscription settings, any time.
Export stays free whether you are subscribed or not — we never hold
evidence hostage.
