Prove

Your footage speaks for itself. Anyone can verify it's real, unaltered, and yours.

Secure, private, and free.

Only you and the people you choose can access your videos. End-to-end encryption ensures nobody else can watch them, not even us.

No ads, no trackers. Bystander exists to protect people, not monetize them.

Built for justice.

Justice requires evidence. Too often, the record is controlled by one side or doesn't exist at all. We're all safer when the truth can't be suppressed. Bystander exists to give people the tools to protect themselves.

The Bystander team has more than 20 years of combined experience building tools like ACLU Mobile Justice, MigraCam, and I'm Getting Arrested — and accountability systems for government, from body cameras to evidence management.

Don't let your video disappear.
