A simplified view of the Ownhand editor.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Write

    Every character is labelled by how it arrived: typed here, imported or pasted.

  2. Step 2

    Ask

    Get the small fixes your rules allow. Never a rewritten sentence.

  3. Step 3

    Defend

    Rehearse explaining your own claims before anyone asks.

  4. Step 4

    Declare

    Download a tamper-evident record of how you wrote it.

Evidence of how each statement was written, and whether the applicant can explain it.

Ownhand for universities

  • Embed it on your application pages.

    Applicants write their statement inside your own form.

  • A record of how every piece was written.

    Typed, imported and pasted text, with check-ins over time.

  • An understanding check.

    Applicants rehearse explaining what they wrote before they submit.

The promise

  • Ownhand never writes for you.

    Ask it to write and it says no. Your words are the point.

  • No AI detector.

    Ownhand records how text arrived. It never guesses who wrote it.

  • Your record belongs to you.

    It is saved in your browser, and you decide who sees it.
