Moving-in weekend with @sarah.k and Jon. New place on 24 Linden Row! Fun fact: our lake was just voted the cleanest in the country.
The pre-post checkpoint
Check your post before the internet does.
T.A.P. looks over your draft before it goes out: who’s in it, who should be asked, which claims need a source, and what private details are showing. Then you decide.
Your draft is reviewed, not archived. What happens to it
Consent unclear
3 people in this photo
Do they know it’ll be public?
Privacy detail
House number visible
On the wall, and in the caption.
Needs a source
“Voted the cleanest”
By whom? Worth saying where it’s from.
How it works
Tag. Ask. Post.
Tag. Ask. Post.
In that order.
Paste your caption, add your photos, say who’s tagged. T.A.P. reads it like a careful friend would, and tags what’s worth a second look.
-
Tag
Who is involved?
Everyone in your draft: the people you tag, the names you mention, the faces in the background. T.A.P. never tries to work out who a stranger is. It counts, and it asks.
Consent unclear3 people appear in this photo -
Ask
Does anyone need to approve this?
A plain question for each person. If you want to check first, T.A.P. writes a short, friendly message you can send them.
Ask them first“Hey! Okay if I post this?” -
Check
Are the claims accurate?
Facts are separated from opinions, jokes and personal stories. Factual claims are checked against current sources you can open yourself.
Could not verifyNo reliable source found -
Protect
Is anything private showing?
House numbers, boarding passes, QR codes, a stranger’s message in your screenshot: the small details that travel further than you meant.

Post
You decide when it’s ready.
T.A.P. never posts, blocks or scores you. It hands you the tags. The decision stays yours.

What T.A.P. checks
Six kinds of tag it can hang on your draft.
Every tag says what it found, where, and what you could do about it. None of them is a verdict.
- PeopleConsent
Tagged friends, names in the caption, people in the background, children in the frame.
You mentioned Sarah. Has Sarah agreed to this?
- FactsSources
Claims separated from opinion and satire. The factual ones are checked against live sources.
We found sources reporting a different date.
- PrivacyPrivate details
Addresses, phone numbers, booking codes, QR codes, plates, IDs, screens in the background.
Your screenshot shows an email address.
- ContextWording
Guesses stated as fact, allegations about real people, missing context, threats or doxxing.
This reads as an accusation about a named person.
- MediaPhotos
Where in the image a detail sits, marked roughly, so you know what to crop or blur.
Consider blurring this area.
- SensitiveHigh-impact topics
Extra context for health, money, emergencies, elections and children, without taking sides.
Health claims travel fast. A primary source helps.
How fact-checking works
No truth scores. Just sources.
- Claims are separated from opinions, jokes and personal stories. Only factual claims are checked.
- Checks use a live web search, so time-sensitive claims are compared with current reporting.
- Every source links to a page the search actually returned. If T.A.P. can’t confirm a citation, you never see it.
- When evidence is thin, it says so. “Could not verify” is an honest answer, not an accusation.

Privacy architecture
Your draft passes through. It doesn’t stay.
A review only exists while you’re looking at it. Here is the whole journey.
You write a draft
Caption, photos, a link, who’s tagged.
Prepared on your device
Photos are resized and re-saved in your browser, which drops hidden location data.
Checked on our server
Uploads sit in a private temporary file only while they’re processed, then they’re deleted.
Reviewed by our AI provider
Sent securely for this one review, with response storage switched off.
Back on your screen
The tagged review lives in your browser tab. Close it and it’s gone.
What T.A.P. keeps
- That a review happened, and when
- The platform and audience you picked
- How long it took, and counts like “2 privacy tags”
- Feedback, if you choose to send it
What it never keeps
- Your caption or any text you wrote
- Your photos or screenshots
- The names you tagged, or your link
- The review of your post
Before it becomes everyone’s business, make sure it’s yours to share.
Questions
Before you ask.
Does T.A.P. post anything for me?
No. T.A.P. isn’t connected to your social accounts and never publishes anything. When you’re done, you copy your caption and post it yourself, wherever you like.
Is my draft saved anywhere?
Not by T.A.P. Your text and photos are processed for the review and not stored in our database. Uploaded files are deleted as soon as they’ve been processed. To produce the review, your draft is sent to our AI provider for that one review, with storage of the response switched off. Full details.
Can T.A.P. tell me whether I’m allowed to post something?
No, and it won’t pretend to. Only the people in your post can give consent, and T.A.P. isn’t a lawyer. It points out what might be worth checking, and helps you ask.
Does it recognise people’s faces?
No. T.A.P. can say “three people appear in this photo”, but it never tries to identify who anyone is.
How reliable is the fact-check?
It’s a careful first pass, not a final word. You see the sources and can open every one. If T.A.P. can’t confirm a source, it doesn’t show it, and if it can’t find good evidence, it tells you that instead of guessing.
Does it work for any platform or language?
Any platform: choosing one just helps T.A.P. tailor its notes. Drafts in other languages are reviewed too, and notes come back in your draft’s language where possible. The interface itself is in English for now.
