iwrote

iwrote is a browser writing space that records how a piece was created and can issue a shareable certificate for the finished text. It observes the writing session from the first word, including what was typed, pasted, deleted, and revised, along with pauses and time at the keyboard. When the writer certifies the piece, iwrote creates a short link that can sit beneath a blog post, essay, email, newsletter, or other published work. A reader opening that link sees evidence about the process that produced the writing instead of a score based only on the final sentences.

That distinction puts iwrote in a different category from an AI detector. A detector examines completed prose and guesses where it came from. iwrote watches the text arrive in its own editor and records the shape of that session. Pasted passages remain visible as pasted, corrections appear as corrections, and ordinary typing remains typing. A model reviews counts and timings for signs that the session was manufactured, but it is sent numbers rather than the writer's words. The service is intended to let AI remain a research, debate, or proofreading aid while making it easier to show that the actual ideas and wording came through the writer's own process.

Certification produces more than a badge. A reader can see how long the work took, how much content was typed or inserted at once, where editing and pauses occurred, and a visual summary of the session. A piece earns the Written by a human mark only when its record accounts for every character, it contains at least ten words, and the session passes the model's review. If those checks fall short, iwrote can still issue a factual record without that claim. The certificate also carries a fingerprint of the exact text, so someone holding the piece can check that it matches what was certified word for word.

The verification design gives technically minded readers ways to inspect the record without relying entirely on iwrote. Certificates are signed, the public half of the signing key is published, and an outside timestamping service dates each certificate. A changed certificate no longer matches its signature. A writer can also provide the writing history file, which a reader can replay locally in the browser to recompute the figures. Those measures protect the integrity of an issued record, but iwrote is candid about the limit. A certificate is evidence about one browser session, not proof of who had the ideas or who sat at the keyboard, and a staged session may evade review.

Privacy choices are unusually explicit. Draft text normally stays in browser storage on the writer's device. Periodic countersigning sends a hash and session counts, not the words, and the model receives numerical features rather than prose. Saving a private copy to iwrote is optional and is the one workflow that uploads the piece and its edit history, including deleted text. Writers decide per certificate whether to show the title, destination, detailed reading, public profile placement, and any saved replay. They can retire a short address, although a self-contained long certificate already shared with someone continues to verify. An account page can also download what iwrote holds before the writer removes saved pieces or closes the account.

The editor includes live session feedback, browser based spelling and grammar proofreading, history controls, copy tools, and downloads in Markdown, HTML, Word, or PDF form. Writing does not require an account, and the current draft saves locally as it changes. Certification and server saved copies require signing in, choosing a permanent public writing name, and agreeing to the iwrote pledge. This setup fits students, independent writers, journalists, newsletter authors, and professionals who expect a reader to ask how a piece was made. It is less useful for text already written elsewhere, since pasting an old draft can only be recorded as a paste.

iwrote currently offers early access on generous terms. Its pledge page says anyone who claims a writing name by December 31, 2026 receives iwrote free for life, while the writing pad itself works without a name. The site does not present a conventional paid plan at the time of review. The important tradeoff is behavioral rather than financial. Writers need to begin inside iwrote, keep their local draft backed up if they do not enable server saving, and accept that the resulting certificate supports a judgment rather than proving authorship beyond doubt. For readers who understand those boundaries, the process record is more transparent than a black box detector score.
