What happens when deepfakes become perfect? Soon you won't be able to tell fake videos and images from real ones.

What if someone creates a deepfake of you? Your reputation could be destroyed by content you never created.

When AI can create anything, how do you prove you're real?

There is a solution, and it's based on math that AI will never be able to fake.

not.bot is the first easy-to-use way to prove you're a real person without revealing anything about yourself. And the best part is that not.bot works across the entire web from day one.

How not.bot Works

not.bot stickers are digital autographs that prove you created or approved something.

QR code stickers
small and familiar

QR Code sticker example

JAB code stickers
private and self-contained.

JAB Code sticker example

Anyone can verify your sticker by scanning it with the free not.bot app:

Who created the sticker

The message in the sticker

Verified not.bot sticker screen

The dates the sticker was created and scanned

And any verified information about themselves the person chose to include in the sticker

Add to contacts screen

Build your network of verified humans! After scanning someone's sticker, you can add them to your trusted contacts. This creates a network of people you know are real.

Keep track of what you've verified! Every sticker you scan gets saved in your personal history.

Good messages make good stickers

The key to not.bot stickers: Be specific about what you're signing.

Not good: "Hi mom!" (This could be copied anywhere)

Good: "Email to Sarah re: Dinner Tuesday?, sent March 15, 2025"

Very good:

The more specific your message, the harder it is for someone to misuse your sticker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your passport information is only stored on your phone. We designed it this way on purpose - we can't use your data, sell your data, or lose your data to hackers because we don't have it. You get verified as a real person while keeping your privacy completely intact.
Unlike other companies that collect your data and promise to protect it, we designed not.bot so we don't have your data at all. We don't have your passport information, we don't know what aliases you have, and we don't know when or where you use the app. We can't lose what we don't have, and we can't sell what we don't collect.
No - and that's actually better. not.bot doesn't try to detect AI (which is getting impossible anyway). Instead, it proves that a real human stands behind the content. Whether you wrote something yourself, used AI to help, or had AI create it entirely - what matters is that you reviewed it, approved it, and put your signature on it.
Nothing stops copying the image itself, but the message inside can't be changed. This is why good messages are specific - like 'My LinkedIn post about marketing tips, March 15, 2025.' If someone copies that sticker to a different post, anyone scanning it will instantly see it doesn't match and know something's wrong.
We use fun animal names instead of boring random letters and numbers. Which would you rather remember: 'k8x2m9p7q4' or 'supremely-amiable-platypus'? There are over 2 billion possible animal names, so you'll probably never see a duplicate.
If you don't like your animal name, you can create a new alias to get a different one or upgrade to a paid subscription to get a Reserved Name that will take its place for that alias.
That is called a LifeHash and it works like a visual fingerprint for your alias. Every alias gets a unique LifeHash that helps people recognize you at a glance. Even if two aliases had similar names (which is extremely rare), their LifeHashes would look completely different.
JAB codes are like supersized QR codes. JAB codes can store much more information directly in the image. Everything needed to verify your sticker is built right into the image itself - no download required, more secure, and more private.
Aliases protect your privacy by letting you be different people online. Think of them like having different email addresses for different purposes: one for work, one for personal, one for shopping. You might use one alias for professional posts, another for personal photos, and another for sensitive topics. Even if someone discovers one of your aliases, they can't connect it to your other online activities.
Give them nicknames that help you remember their purpose. These nicknames stay private on your phone only - no one else ever sees them. Examples: 'LinkedIn' 'x.com - @politicsGuy' 'x.com - @sportsFan' or 'facebook.com - @familyAcct' Think of it like labeling different keys on your keychain so you know which opens which door.
Hidden aliases are aliases you use rarely or want to keep private. Since aliases can't be deleted, hiding them keeps your main list clean and organized. Hidden usernames are completely invisible until you unlock them with face or fingerprint scan. Perfect for one-time use, sensitive topics, or usernames you want to keep secret even from someone looking over your shoulder.
Easy! Just take a screenshot of the video when the sticker is visible, then tap the share button (box with arrow pointing up) and choose 'not.bot' from the list. The app will automatically scan the sticker from your screenshot. You don't need to save the screenshot - it can go straight to not.bot and then be deleted.
We're working on this right now! Soon you'll be able to recover your account if you lose your phone, transfer to a new device, and use not.bot on multiple phones at once. This is one of our most requested features and a top development priority.
There are two main ways to get a referral code:
From existing users: Ask on social media, check our Discord community, or ask friends who already use not.bot. Current users get codes to share with people they trust.
From our waitlist: Join our free waitlist and we'll send codes to people regularly on a first-come, first-served basis. Signing up early gives you the best chance of getting a code quickly.
Nope! Referral codes are generated on your device, so we never see who creates which codes. It's impossible for us to connect a referral code back to the person who created it. This keeps your referral activity completely private, just like everything else in not.bot.
Don't worry - you won't lose your digital identity! All your usernames, custom names, and existing stickers stay yours forever. You just can't create certain new things: new usernames (if you have more than 5), new QR code stickers, or new Verified Creator content. Everything you've already made keeps working normally.
We'd be the most boring hack ever. Unlike other companies that store mountains of personal data, we designed not.bot so we're blind to your information. We don't have your name, email, payment info, passport data, or even know which usernames belong to you. We can't read your sticker messages or track your activity. Hackers literally can't steal what we don't have.
Julia is a character from George Orwell's novel '1984' who uses privacy to protect her humanity in a surveillance state. We also believe privacy isn't about hiding bad things, it's about maintaining your dignity and agency. 'Social' represents our goal: enabling real human connections on an internet full of fakes.
