For writers, screenwriters & journalists

Prove you wrote it,
and when.

A script goes out to producers. A story ships before it's bylined. Reconize seals your name and a trusted timestamp into every draft, so authorship is never a question of who can shout loudest.

Free to verify. No account required. 100% on your Mac.

Reconize document signing: per-page seal and recipient cert ID on a screenplay
The authorship problem

A draft with no proof is a claim with no backup.

Without Reconize

You email a spec script around town, or file a piece that circulates before it runs. If someone else claims the idea or the words, all you have is 'trust me, I wrote it first.' The file itself proves nothing.

With Reconize

Reconize seals your name and an attested timestamp into every draft, Fountain, Final Draft, or PDF, with a tamper-evident credential. Anyone can check who wrote it and when, and any change to the file breaks the seal.

What you get

Authorship you can actually stand on.

⏱️

A trusted, attested timestamp

Not just your computer's clock, a real timestamp authority signs when you sealed the draft, so 'I wrote it first' becomes provable.

✍️

Sealed authorship

Your name is bound into the document with a credential anyone can verify. Claiming your work as theirs means breaking a cryptographic seal.

📄

Built for how writers work

Sign Fountain, Final Draft, and PDF drafts directly, the formats scripts and stories actually move in.

📰

For journalists too

Seal a story or a photo at the point of filing, so your newsroom and your readers can confirm it came from you, unaltered.

How it works

Three steps, ten seconds.

01

Sign

Drop your draft in. Reconize seals your name and a trusted timestamp into the document.

02

Share

Send it to producers, editors, or the wire. The proof of authorship travels inside the file.

03

Recognize

A dispute later? The sealed credential shows who wrote it and when, and whether a word was changed since.

Recognize your content.

Ten seconds to protect it now beats ten weeks trying to prove it later.
