Trust Lens

TrustLens v1.0 Release

TrustLens v1.0 is our first public release: an Android-first credibility companion designed to help people pause before trusting, sharing, or acting on fast-moving online claims.

This version introduces the core TrustLens experience: pause-aware scanning, visible-evidence assessment, plain-language risk labels, and practical next-step advice for suspicious posts, screenshots, links, and social feed content.

What’s Included

• Android prototype with accessibility-service based feed scanning
• Pause-aware capture flow that avoids constant background checking
• Credibility assessment API at /v1/assess
• Risk labels including Likely safe, Needs checking, Suspicious, and Cannot verify
• Detection for urgency, shortened links, suspicious claims, missing sources, and link mismatches
• Screenshot and OCR-aware assessment support
• Hosted landing page and APK download flow
• GitHub Actions build pipeline for Android APK artifacts
• Docker-based deployment support for the website and backend

Why It Matters

Scams and misinformation often rely on speed, pressure, and missing context. TrustLens v1 helps users slow down at the right moment by explaining what the visible evidence supports, what is missing, and what action is safest before tapping or sharing.

Notes

This first release is a functional prototype built for hackathon validation. TrustLens does not claim to be a final fact-checking authority. Instead, it provides a calm credibility signal based on the evidence visible to the user at the time of capture.
