TruthLens
See who actually broke the story — not who copied it
TruthLens traces any headline back to its original source. Paste a link or tap a trending story and it maps the "wire echo" — one press release or post amplified by dozens of outlets — versus genuinely independent verification. Six verdicts, a source timeline, and a one-sentence bottom line. Free, no sign-up required, on web and iPhone.
Hi PH 👋 I built TruthLens after noticing that when a story "breaks everywhere," it usually hasn't — 40 outlets echoing one unverified press release looks identical to 40 outlets independently confirming a fact. Coverage volume isn't verification.
TruthLens takes any headline, link, or claim and traces it to its origin: who published first, who copied whom, and whether anyone verified independently. You get one of six verdicts (Single Origin is the eye-opener), a timeline of how the story spread, and a one-line bottom line.
It's free — 10 verifications a day with zero sign-up, 25 if you sign in (no passwords, ever). Web + iPhone.
I'd genuinely love to know: what's a headline you always suspected was a wire echo? Paste it in and tell me what verdict you got.
Would love to see a browser extension so TruthLens can flag the wire echo in real time while I'm scrolling Twitter or reading an article, instead of having to paste every link manually into the site.

Who hunted TruthLens?
TruthLens was hunted by Arti Sharma. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
