Creative work often exists long before it is released. A rough demo, an unfinished beat, or a page of lyrics can hold real value, even if it never leaves your hard drive.
Proof of Date helps musicians and creators establish when their work existed, without publishing it or sharing it publicly.
Why creators use Proof of Date
- Ideas get shared early with collaborators
- Files change over time
- Disputes usually happen after success, not before
- Inspiration is easy to claim, hard to prove
By time-stamping your work as it evolves, you create independent evidence of your creative timeline.
What you can protect
- Song drafts and final mixes
- Beats and instrumentals
- Lyrics, verses, and hooks
- Voice notes and demos
- Alternate versions and revisions
Each version matters. Proof of Date lets you document progress, not just finished releases.
Before problems arise
Most creators never expect a dispute. But when questions come up about who created what, and when, having a clear, verifiable timestamp can make the difference between an argument and evidence.
Proof of Date does not replace copyright registration. It complements it by capturing early creation and development, when ideas are most vulnerable.
Keep control of your work
Your files stay private. You choose what to prove and when. No publishing, no platforms, no exposure required.
Sometimes all you need is a simple way to say:
“This existed on this date.”
