What is Veiwpoint?
Veiwpoint is an iOS Share Extension that fact-checks short-form videos while you watch.
If you get your news through TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X (Twitter), Facebook, or Snapchat, Veiwpoint lets you verify claims without leaving the app or copying URLs.
How to use it
- 1Sign in with Apple — required for all analyses
- 2Watch a video — in any supported app
- 3Tap the native Share button
- 4Select Veiwpoint — from the share sheet
- 5The Share Extension opens for about one second — starts the analysis, then closes automatically
- 6Keep watching — the original video never pauses
- 7A push notification arrives — with the full claim-by-claim accuracy breakdown
- 8Tap the notification — to see the result
Requirements: iOS device, Sign in with Apple account, and an internet connection.
How It Works
The Technical Flow
When you share a video to Veiwpoint, here is exactly what happens:
Authentication Check
Every analysis requires a valid Sign in with Apple session. There is no guest or anonymous mode.
URL Extraction
The iOS Share Extension captures the video URL from the host app. We do not access your camera roll, clipboard, or browsing history.
Audio Stream Processing
Our backend requests the video stream and extracts the audio track only. We never download or store the full video file.
Speech-to-Text
The audio stream is sent to the Groq-hosted Whisper API for transcription. Audio is processed on Groq's infrastructure, not ours.
Claim Extraction
Standard off-the-shelf language models (Gemini, DeepSeek via OpenRouter) parse the transcript and isolate statements that can be fact-checked: dates, statistics, quotes, health advice, political assertions, and financial claims.
Cross-Reference
Each claim is checked using Serper.dev, a general web search wrapper that queries Google's index. Results are drawn from news sites, fact-checking organizations, and other web sources.
Result Compilation
A verdict is assigned per claim: True, Mostly True, Mixed, Mostly False, False, or Unverifiable (insufficient data). Each result includes source links, a truth percentage, and an explanation.
Delivery
By default, the analysis is delivered via push notification. If you enable real-time mode, the Share Extension stays open and shows a live progress view instead.
Cache
The analysis result is stored so that if you or another user checks the same video later, the result is returned instantly without re-processing.
Data Lifecycle
| Stage | What we store | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Video URL | URL string | Not stored permanently; used only for the current analysis |
| Audio stream | Temporary buffer | Deleted immediately after transcription |
| Transcript | Text | Deleted after analysis is complete |
| Analysis result | Result object | Stored for cache and history sync |
| Your Apple ID | Hashed identifier | Indefinitely (user account) |
| Your email (waitlist) | Email + preferences | Until you unsubscribe |
