Human rights investigators needed a reliable way to capture online
evidence that would be admissible in court, with seamless integration

A browser extension integrated with Uwazi that captures tamper-proof
evidence from web content, social media posts, and online articles.
Key Features
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• One-click capture for multiple content types
• Direct Uwazi platform integration
• Automatic cryptographic verification and metadata generation
• Chain-of-custody documentation capabilities
• Cross-browser compatibility
Tools

MindNode, Figma, Browser DevTools
Results
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Validated product-market fit with legal professionals and human rights investigators
• Made court-admissible evidence collection accessible to non-technical users
• Reduced evidence capture to a single click — from a multi-step manual process
• Shipped to Chrome Web Store, integrated directly into Uwazi documentation workflows
