A deeper understanding of JournaLock
The apps are free on the Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the App Store. One store account does not cover the other stores. Use the store for the device in hand. There is nothing to lose by starting.
What it is
JournaLock is a patent pending system that does everything right for your evidence. It's tamper-evident, meaning you will always know if someone has altered your data. 
The vault shows Chain, Account, and Files all OK. 
Chain, Ladder, and Chainmail are the blockchain systems you can use. Those blockchain systems are what we are patenting. It's encrypted with AES-256. Click here for a security analysis. We have a basic free timestamp and then a paid version that is stronger for court.
Inventors use it to store their progress, close to the day they did it. They can store their evidence of their inventions. Attorneys use the pages the inventor shares and communicates back with all of the changes. This system also streamlines the process of updating the patent process with the user.
Where the notes live
The base journal and evidence stays on the device, in an encrypted vault. Anyone can do that though. Our real bonus is the connection with the cloud services. When an entry is sealed, it joins a chain on that device. If something is changed later, the chain shows it. If the device is online, a public time stamp can be applied to a fingerprint of the entry, not to the words themselves. Why is all this important to you?
Protection. No one can approach JournaLock a get at your identity or your data. If we are subpoenad to hand over your data this is what they will get:
- The payment email. The address the person typed on the Stripe checkout page.
- The payment itself. The date, the amount, the plan they bought, and whether the charge went through.
- The card. The name on the card if Stripe saved it, the card brand, and the last four digits. That is enough to match a bank record. The full card number is not in our records.
- Support mail. Any email that person sent to support@journalock.com, including what they wrote and when.
If the website host kept logs, those add an IP address, a time, and which pages were opened.
JournaLock can't sell personal information because we don't keep it, and it does not use the journal for advertising.
What the inventor controls
The inventor chooses what leaves the vault. A certified PDF can be printed or handed to counsel. The whole vault does not have to move.
The other edge to this sword is we can't help you if you lose everything. We are very annoying about The emergency kit because it's the only recovery path. Put the kit on a flash drive. Print three paper copies and keep them in separate safe places. There is no remote reset. Counsel cannot reset the vault. JournaLock cannot reset it either. Because we don't have your information.
What it does not do
It does not file a patent. It does not replace an attorney. It holds the inventor's words still, so counsel is not rebuilding the story from old email.
