Finder-first. Calm by default.
MadeMark works alongside Finder and the creative apps you already use. It quietly captures meaningful moments — a new cut, an approved master, a sent deliverable — and keeps them in order.
- 01Choose a folder or projectPoint MadeMark at the folders that matter — a film cut, a record, a client deliverable.
- 02Keep working in your toolsLogic, Final Cut, Premiere, Resolve, Pro Tools, Ableton, Photoshop — MadeMark stays out of the way.
- 03MadeMark notices what changesMeaningful edits, exports, shares, and approvals are added to a private local timeline.
- 04Export a proof bundleWhen you need it — for a label, client, collaborator, lawyer, insurer, or archive.
Sessions, docs, contracts, deliverables — all on one quiet timeline.
MadeMark watches the files your tools produce. Here's what its timeline looks like next to four of the apps creative teams live in every day.
Quiet evidence, ready when you need it.
MadeMark doesn't claim to prove artistic truth or whether a file was made by AI. It proves the things that actually settle disputes — order, timing, receipt, and integrity.
"I had this file on this date."
"This version existed before the deadline."
"This export matches the original project history."
"This person received or claimed the shared file."
"This approval happened before delivery."
"This file has not changed since the proof was created."
Your work doesn't leave your Mac unless you say so.
MadeMark was built for people who care about their work. Privacy isn't a feature — it's the default.
- Files stay on your MacMadeMark does not need to upload your creative files to record their history.
- Local timeline by defaultYour project history lives next to your work, on the disk you already trust.
- Witness without exposingAn outside witness can confirm a checkpoint existed without ever seeing your files.
- You decide what's in the bundleChoose exactly which events and metadata leave your machine, and to whom.
When it matters, you'll have the receipts — without keeping a journal.
When a co-writer questions who brought what — your session timeline shows when each idea entered the project.
Prove a master existed, untouched, on a specific date — before a sync or release window.
Show the cut a client signed off on — and that the delivered version matches it.
Confirm the editor's locked picture left the studio at the agreed time, in the agreed state.
Hand over masters with a proof bundle attached, not just a Dropbox link.
Years later, prove a piece of work existed in a specific form, without re-finding old emails.
A simple chain of small, honest facts.
MadeMark fingerprints your files, links events together in order, signs the timeline from your Mac, and can have an outside witness confirm that the timeline existed. Later, anyone can inspect the proof — without trusting a screenshot.
Each file gets a unique fingerprint. The file itself never has to leave your Mac.
Events are linked in sequence so they can't be silently rearranged after the fact.
Your Mac signs the timeline. Tampering breaks the signature.
An outside witness anchors the timeline, proving it existed at that moment.
For technical reviewers›
MadeMark maintains a local hash-linked event log. File integrity uses content-addressed digests; the log is signed by a per-device key and periodically anchored via an independent witness service. Proof bundles are self-verifiable with an open inspector and require no central authority — and no blockchain.
MadeMark is designed around the way creatives already use Finder.
A native utility tuned for the way Mac creatives think and work.
If you organize work in folders, you're already organized for MadeMark.
Designed around the way creatives already use Finder: folders, versions, exports, shares, archives.
Quiet capture. No pop-ups in the middle of a take or a render.
Your project history stays on your machine by default.
Hand off a single bundle anyone can verify — no account required to inspect it.
Tighter Finder workflows are on the roadmap as the product matures.
Quiet proof, in the moments that count.
"When a producer questioned which cut we delivered for festival submission, I exported a proof bundle in a click. It matched the file they had — conversation over."
"I work with a dozen artists a month. MadeMark quietly tracks every master I send out. I never think about it until someone asks 'when did you send this?'"
"A split discussion got tense. I didn't have to argue — the timeline showed when each part of the song entered the session."
"Client approvals used to live in twelve different inboxes. Now every sign-off is part of the project's own record."
Plain answers.
Does MadeMark upload my files?+
No. MadeMark records a local timeline on your Mac. It can fingerprint files without uploading them. You decide what, if anything, leaves your machine in a proof bundle.
Do I have to change creative tools?+
No. MadeMark works alongside Finder and the apps you already use — Logic, Final Cut, Premiere, Resolve, Pro Tools, Ableton, Photoshop, and others.
Is this only for legal disputes?+
No. Most users rely on MadeMark for everyday handoffs, approvals, archive integrity, and peace of mind. Disputes are just the worst-case it covers.
Does it prove I made the art?+
No tool can prove artistic authorship. MadeMark proves the practical things — that a file existed, when it changed, who received it, and what was approved.
Does it prove no AI was used?+
No. MadeMark doesn't make claims about how a file was created. It records the history of a file once it lives in your project.
What happens when I share a file?+
MadeMark can record the share event in your timeline and, with the recipient's confirmation, log receipt — so you have a record of who got what, and when.
Can someone else verify my proof?+
Yes. A proof bundle is self-verifiable with an open inspector. They don't need a MadeMark account, and they don't need to trust you.
Is this blockchain?+
No. MadeMark does not require a blockchain. It uses signed, hash-linked timelines anchored by an independent witness.
Keep making. Let MadeMark keep the proof.
A quiet macOS utility for the work you take seriously.
