The Scanner, Live

Watch an encounter get classified — the reveal, the stamp, the shareable certificate.

Full Feature Set

Everything In The Dossier

AI Alien & Cryptid Camera

Point at anything and the AI does its dramatic thing, then classifies the subject as an alien — or a cryptid, from Forest Hominids to Aerial Cryptids. The joke never gets old.

Encounter Certificates

Each "sighting" produces an official-looking Alien Encounter Certificate, complete with stamps, a case number, and a classified header.

Shareable Sightings

Send your certified encounter straight to friends and the group chat. Built to be screenshotted, reacted to, and one-upped.

Classified Dossier Aesthetic

Redaction bars, case files, and "TOP SECRET" stamps frame every screen. The whole app plays the leaked-government-file bit to the hilt.

CRT Scanner Vibes

Glowing green phosphor type, scan lines, and a flickering reticle give every scan that retro-terminal, "I shouldn't be seeing this" feel.

Declassified Transmissions

A built-in Feed tab of intercepted UFO & cryptid field footage — sorted by newest or most viewed.

Just For Fun

A pure entertainment novelty — no accounts, no pressure, no stakes. Open it, get a laugh, share it, repeat.

Under the Hood

How the Scan Actually Works

A certificate always arrives

If the network drops, the server errors, or the model returns unparseable output, the scan still finishes: the client catches the failure, prints three "uplink interrupted" terminal lines, and synthesises the classification on-device from a bundled catalog. The server carries its own fallback for the same reason, so there are two independent layers between a bad connection and a blank screen.

Species picked by place and season

The bundled catalog holds 62 entities plus 6 date-windowed seasonals, each tagged with the regions it can appear in. A reverse-geocoded state code adds that state's species on top of the nationwide pool rather than replacing it, and picks are rarity-weighted 70/22/7/1, so a legendary find is actually rare and a seasonal creature only shows up inside its window.

Achievements provably reachable

"Full Spectrum" asks you to encounter every class, I through V. A test asserts the always-available nationwide pool spans all five classes and that a user who never grants location can never be handed a region-locked species — a regression pass that exists because the achievement was once unwinnable.

Dossier styling keyed to the case number

The exported multi-page PDF picks its paper wash, stamps, reviewer signature and departmental boilerplate from an FNV-1a hash of the case number. Re-export the same encounter years later and you get a byte-for-byte identical file; two different encounters get visibly different paperwork.
