Your stories travel. Keep your name on them.

Copies of a news story, photos, and chat answers spread across the screen, and the Town Daily name tags slide off them.
  1. Copies of a news story, photos, and chat answers spread across the screen, and the Town Daily name tags slide off them.

    Copies lose the byline.

    Stories get copied, quoted, and reposted every day. Your name and your terms rarely go with them.

  2. A needle sews a gold thread under the sentence The pool opens Monday, and the stitches fade from sight.

    Sign it when you publish.

    Encypher sews a hidden label into each story as it goes live. Readers see the same words.

  3. A gold tag on the thread reads Made by: Town Daily and Made with AI: No, with the blue Encypher badge on it.

    The label carries your name and terms.

    It shows who signed the story, when, and the terms you set. Your terms are your statement. They do not prove who owns the work.

  4. A magnifier rests on the unbroken blue Encypher badge on a Town Daily story, and a check mark appears beside it.

    Anyone can check it, free.

    Editors, partners, and readers check the story with no account.

What you get.

Start with one story.

  1. Create a free account.

    Set up your publisher name and confirm your website.

  2. Connect your site.

    Use the WordPress plugin, a Ghost webhook, or the APIAPI: Application programming interface: a way for one program to ask another to do a job, such as sign a file..

  3. Publish one story and check it.

    Ask an editor or partner to check the copy they get.

Good questions.

Does the label prove we own the story?
No. It shows who signed it, the terms you set, and if it changed. It does not decide who owns what.
What if someone edits or reposts it?
An edit after signing shows up in the check. Some tools strip hidden labels. Then the check says it found no label.
What does it cost?
Signing and checking are free for publishers. Paid plans add more control. See publisher plans.
We also sell ads. Does this help there?
There is a separate pilot for publishers who sell ad space. Try the ad demo or ask us about the pilot.
