Handprint

Evidence of human authorship, captured as you write.

Handprint is made specifically for writers. It records your full drafting process as you work, then seals it into a private, tamper-evident record. The whole picture of how your manuscript came to be.

A new tool from the Writers' CLC.

Captured as you write · Sealed and private
The Premise

The proof is in the process.

As AI writing becomes more common, writers are seeking a reliable way to prove human authorship. A finished page can no longer demonstrate that on its own. Handprint captures the process behind the page as it happens, the drafting, revising, and rethinking that only a writer does, and seals it into a private record you control.

What It Does

The complete record of how your writing was written

Four things Handprint does in the background while you draft.

01 / Capture

Records your full drafting process

Handprint runs quietly in your browser and captures the whole process as it happens: keystrokes, edits, revisions, pauses, and pastes. Far more than version history, it's the complete account of how a piece came to be.

Complete · Runs in the background
02 / The Record

Sealed as you write

Each session is timestamped and sealed in the order it was written, so the history cannot be rebuilt or quietly edited after the fact. The record is not only saved, it's tamper-evident, so it holds up to scrutiny.

Tamper-evident · Timestamped
03 / Privacy

Yours, and only yours

Everything Handprint captures stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded, sold, or shared. You hold the record, and you alone decide if and when to show it to anyone.

Private · On your device
04 / Report

A clean, printable record

When you are ready, Handprint compiles everything into a single readable report you can save, print, or hand to a contest, an editor, or a publisher who asks how a piece came to be.

Exportable · Print-ready
Privacy

Handprint prioritizes privacy. What it captures lives on your device and belongs to you alone. Nothing is shared, sold, or sent anywhere without your say. Handprint is not an AI tool and uses no AI or language models to do its work.

The Workflow

How writers use Handprint

01
Install the extension
Add Handprint to your browser. It works inside the editors writers already use, with nothing to configure.
02
Write the way you always do
Handprint records your process in the background as you draft. Nothing to turn on, nothing to remember. The full account is captured as it happens.
03
Your record stays private and sealed
Everything is kept on your device and sealed as it is written, so the history cannot be altered later. Nothing leaves your control unless you export it.
04
Export a clean report
When you need it, generate a printable report that documents how your piece was written, from first line to final draft, ready to show whoever asks.
