Every answer shows its working: the quotes, the links, and how sure we are.
Four habits that keep a viral forward from fooling it, and fooling you.
Fifteen sites copying one news-wire line are one source. TruthAgent traces each quote back to where it came from.
Finds where a photo first appeared, so an old picture can't pass as today's news.
Old news reshared as new gets its own label: Outdated. Set the date you got the forward.
Every quote with its link and date, sorted into For and Against. Judge the proof yourself.
Most rumours arrive as a screenshot in a family group at 7am. TruthAgent is built for exactly that.
Every search and every page read shows up live, so you see how the answer was reached.
Drop in a screenshot of a headline or tweet. It reads the words and checks them.
Breaking news moves fast. One tap re-checks a story once more sources are in.

No sign-up, no jargon. If you can forward a message, you can check one. Built to be read on a phone by your parents, not just by researchers.
The short answers. Every Check shows the long ones.
