For Investigators

Quickly catalog and verify evidence from drives or seized devices. FolSum provides a tamper-proof summary of every file (type, timestamp, and forensic hash), helping maintain chain of custody and reduce review time in digital investigations.

For NGOs & Advocacy Groups

Organize and assess digital materials safely, without relying on cloud tools that expose sensitive data. FolSum helps anti-trafficking teams, journalists, and researchers map what’s inside folders before deeper analysis — keeping survivors’ information protected and systems compliant.

For Legal & Compliance Teams

Generate clear, exportable reports of folder contents for discovery, disclosure, or audit purposes. FolSum’s summaries ensure data integrity and transparency, vital for legal verification and regulatory review.

For Analysts

Need a clean audit of your project, dataset, or archive? FolSum runs locally, has no dependencies, and provides a fast, machine-readable inventory of your folder’s structure — great for documentation, reproducibility, or automated testing pipelines.

Summarize and audit folder contents — securely, locally, and fast.
