A scan answers what is exposed? A record answers a different question: what exists, and who will need it? Three jobs that read your mail on this computer and end in a signed document you can hand to someone else.
A Word document in its own folder · signed · checkable by anyone at havenprotect.app/verify
Each job is its own page in the app, with its own record at the end.
For someone who needs every message about one thing in order: a dispute with a landlord, an employer, an insurer or a contractor, a consulting engagement, or an audit of one project or one year.
How Trace works →For the executor or the family, working out from one mailbox what was being paid for, which accounts existed and who to call.
How Settle works →For you, while you can still correct it: the list of institutions, what each is for and who to call, for a spouse, an executor or an attorney.
How Prepare works →Not a record: a list you check and act on. Every subscription, membership and free trial your mail shows, what it costs, when it renews, and the sender’s own page for cancelling it — read on this computer, printable or saved as a PDF, and nothing cancelled for you.
How Subscriptions works →Every record says what was searched and what wasn’t before it says anything else, and quotes the messages it relies on as numbered exhibits. Where Haven’s private model was used, the record says what it was shown.
The thing a lawyer or an adjuster asks you for.
For whoever is settling someone’s affairs.
A map of your own affairs, for whoever finds it.
Each record saves as one folder: the Word document, its signed manifest, a short note on how to check it, and any attachments. Send the folder as one thing.
You pick where. Each save gets its own folder named with the date and time, so saving again never replaces an earlier record.
The whole folder, manifest included, goes into a “Haven Records” folder in your own storage — not to Haven — so the copy there can still be checked. Nothing is left on this computer once it is up.
The manifest holds a fingerprint of the document and of every exhibit and file, signed on the computer that made it. Whoever receives the folder can check it in their own browser at havenprotect.app/verify, without installing Haven. Nothing is uploaded to do it.
A scan keeps its work on this computer. Records read your mail on this computer too, but they produce something meant to leave it — so the two jobs make separate promises. Read both.
Trace, Settle and Prepare are live for Haven beta members. If someone has already sent you a record, you can check it without installing anything.
