CircleCheck

Circle a suspicious claim. Get evidence before you share.

CircleCheck reads only the part of the page you select, searches for supporting or contradicting sources, and returns a cautious verdict with links.

Start here

Install, sign in, then circle.

01

Install the extension

Add CircleCheck to Chrome. The extension uses one fixed CircleCheck API endpoint, so there is no Worker URL for users to configure.

02

Sign in

Use Google or Meta login from the popup. Free checks are tied to the signed-in account, not to a browser setting.

03

Circle a claim

Move your cursor in a closed circle around a headline, post, paragraph, image, or video area. CircleCheck opens a small evidence card beside it.

Workflow

What happens during a check

Capture

The extension samples visible text, nearby image metadata, page title, URL, and recent video captions when available.

Retrieve

The Worker keeps provider keys private and performs a bounded evidence search or article extraction.

Assess

The result labels the claim as supported, contradicted, limited support, or unclear, with source links.

Quota

Free to try, measured honestly.

Each signed-in user gets 10 free claim checks. After that, CircleCheck asks whether a $10/month plan for roughly 150-200 checks would feel worth paying for. No payment gateway is connected yet.

Guardrails

Built to avoid sensitive fields.

CircleCheck does not scan a whole page in the background. It watches recent mouse coordinates for roughly 800-900ms without page context to detect a circle gesture, and only then captures circled-region data.

The extension refuses checks that intersect password, email, phone, payment, one-time-code, textarea, or editable regions.

The backend trims input, validates URLs, keeps provider secrets out of the extension, and displays only retrieved source URLs.

Use it carefully

CircleCheck is an evidence aid, not a truth oracle.

It helps you slow down, compare sources, and decide whether a claim deserves trust.
