Vellumproof

Vellumproof provides authors with a tamper-evident, timestamped record of every draft and writing session of their manuscript, creating a verifiable timeline that proves the work's human authorship and progression over time. Authors upload drafts in common formats, which are sealed and chained to prevent alteration, enabling publishers or contests to confirm authenticity via a shareable proof page without accessing the author's private files. The service prioritizes privacy, never sharing or using the prose to train AI, and offers a free first manuscript vault with ongoing paid options for multiple projects.

I’m Scared a Stranger Will Call My Novel AI, So I Built GitHub for Words (Meet VellumProof, Formerly WritHub, Lol)

Worried about being mistakenly accused of AI authorship, writer Dylan created VellumProof, a version-control tool inspired by GitHub that tracks daily word changes in manuscripts to provide transparent proof of human writing effort. By storing detailed histories of word additions and edits, VellumProof helps authors document their creative process and defend the authenticity of their work. While not foolproof against cheating, the tool aims to support honest writers by offering clear, date-stamped evidence rather than relying on subjective impressions.
