Evidence
Add a source
Choose a document with Apple's Files picker, select one image with PhotosPicker, scan a document with the camera, or paste text. Review the title and recognized text before saving.
OCR
Review every candidate
Apple Vision recognition runs on the device. If a name or date is incomplete, edit it or reject it. OCR results are never verified automatically.
Conflicts
Resolve competing facts
Open Conflicts to compare values and their supporting sources. Choose the value you want to verify; the other value remains recorded as rejected.
Export
Create portable files
Open Settings & Export to create GEDCOM, PDF, CSV, or a complete ZIP bundle. The system share sheet lets you choose where to save or send the file.
Archive protection
Use device authentication
Optional archive lock uses Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode. If authentication is unavailable or canceled, the setting does not change.
Troubleshooting
No text was recognized
Try a closer, brighter, straighter scan with readable text. You can paste or enter source text manually and keep working without OCR.
An import or export failed
Confirm the selected file is a readable GEDCOM or supported evidence file and that the device has free storage. For export, try another destination in the system share sheet.
Data recovery
Keep your own backup
LineageProof has no cloud copy or developer server. Create a complete ZIP export before deleting the app or moving to another device.
