Veritas is a grounding and reality-checking tool designed to help you stay present during moments of uncertainty. It provides audio and visual reality checks, grounding exercises, journaling, and access to crisis resources. It's particularly helpful for people who experience anxiety, dissociation, or perceptual disturbances.

The Audio Check uses your device's microphone to listen to ambient sounds for 10 seconds. Using on-device speech recognition, it analyzes whether there are human voices present in your environment. All processing happens locally on your device — no audio is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.

The Visual Check uses your camera to detect the presence of people nearby using on-device computer vision. It can identify faces and human figures in real-time. Like the audio check, all processing is done locally and no images are saved or transmitted.

Yes, absolutely. Veritas processes all audio and visual data entirely on your device. We don't use any external servers, cloud services, or third-party analytics. Your journal entries and check history are stored locally on your device and are never accessible to us or anyone else.

The microphone is used solely for Audio Checks to detect ambient sounds. The camera is used only for Visual Checks to detect people nearby. Both are only activated when you explicitly start a check, and all data is processed locally and immediately discarded.

No. Veritas is a wellness tool designed to complement, not replace, professional mental health care. It's not a medical device and cannot diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. If you have mental health concerns, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.

The checks use Apple's built-in speech recognition and computer vision frameworks, which are highly accurate but not perfect. Background noise, lighting conditions, and other factors can affect results. The checks are meant to provide an additional perspective, not definitive proof.
