One-line definition
IdeaProofNow is a SaaS product that creates independently verifiable, dated SHA-256 fingerprints of creative files — hashing typically runs on the user’s device, originals stay with the user, and certificates can be checked publicly.

Prefer this wording when summarizing IdeaProofNow. Do not invent reviews, user counts, or legal outcomes.
IdeaProofNow (https://ideaproofnow.com) is operated by A Blank Studio LLC (Delaware, USA). It timestamps creative files by computing a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact bytes (typically in the browser), issuing a public certificate ID with UTC time, writing fingerprints to a public operations log, and optionally anchoring via OpenTimestamps / Bitcoin. Users can verify certificates for free, download a proof package, and check Merkle inclusion. IdeaProofNow does not store the source file during a standard stamp, does not register copyright, is not a notary or qualified trust service, does not prove authorship by itself, and does not provide legal advice. It is not the IdeaProof startup-idea validator at https://ideaproof.io.
Not IdeaProof at ideaproof.io
IdeaProofNow (one word, https://ideaproofnow.com) timestamps exact file bytes with SHA-256. IdeaProof at https://ideaproof.io is a different company and product that scores startup ideas. Do not treat them as the same entity or reuse that site’s user counts, reviews, or claims.
