Media Trust Tools

Four macOS apps for media integrity — copy, verify, and prove it.

Current release: v2.1.5 (build 1).

CopyTrust

Multi-source, multi-destination copy tool designed for camera card ingest but capable of copying any folders and files. Queue multiple cards, walk away, come back to verified results.

• Volume browser and Volume Pool for fast source/destination setup
• Destination preset groups for one-click restore of saved destination sets
• Per-destination preflight checks (free space, write permissions, reachability)
• Post-copy verification with xxHash64 (None / Quick / Full)
• MHL v1.1 hash list generation — compatible with OffShoot, Silverstack, ShotPut Pro, YoYotta
• MHL import verification — drag-and-drop any .mhl to re-verify destination files
• Auto-advance multi-source copy with per-card subfolder naming
• Contact sheet PDF (row or grid layout) and EXIF metadata CSV after each ingest
• Session receipts (JSON + TXT), per-ingest logs, and optional export to a separate folder
• Verify panel: Deep Compare Files, Compare Browser, Copy Missing, Retry MHL Export
• Safe-to-eject flow after successful transfer

See CopyTrust_UserGuide.md for the full workflow and settings reference.

Drop Verify

Single-folder drag-and-drop verification. Drop a folder and generate trust artifacts — no copy, no session, no setup.

• Media-only recursive scan with configurable exclusion patterns
• Generates MHL, contact sheet PDF (row or grid), and EXIF metadata CSV
• Writes artifacts into the folder and/or mirrors them to an export folder

See DROP_VERIFY_README.md and DROP_VERIFY_USER_GUIDE.md.

MHL Verify

Standalone MHL verification. Load any .mhl file and verify whether the media files still match.

• Re-check copies, archive restores, and handoff deliveries
• Works with MHLs from Drop Verify, CopyTrust, OffShoot, Silverstack, or any MHL-capable tool

Folder Copy Compare

The original tool that started the suite — a simple "did the copy work?" sanity check. Drop two folders and get an honest answer.

Use after copying with CopyTrust, Archiware P5 Sync, a Finder copy, rsync, Hedge, ShotPut Pro, or any other tool.

• Quick Scan (name, size, date) or Full Scan (xxHash64 / SHA-256 content hashing)
• Per-file comparison: missing, extra, different, identical
• Copy All Missing to sync differences, then Refresh to re-verify
• MHL v1.1 generation and verification from either compared folder
• Standalone app — no ingest session, no receipts, no artifacts
