Show HN: TruVideo – On-device detector for Sora, Veo and other GenAI videos (apps.apple.com)

TruVideo is a new mobile app from handsfree.ly that claims to detect AI-generated photos, videos and cloned audio in real time, running entirely on-device. Marketed as a privacy-first detector for “Sora, Veo and other GenAI videos,” the app analyzes captured or existing media without sending data to the cloud, supports iPhone/iPod touch (iOS 14+), Apple Silicon Macs (M1+), and Apple Vision, and weighs in at about 493 MB. The store listing highlights instant flagging of deepfakes and manipulated media, a simple UI for creators and security pros, and a stated policy that the developer does not collect user data; price listed is Rp 99ribu. For the AI/ML community this is notable because it pushes compute-heavy detection onto edge devices—lower latency, better privacy, and offline operation—rather than relying on centralized services. Technically it implies compact, optimized ML models that can run on mobile NPUs/GPUs and be updated via app releases. That said, on-device detectors face an arms-race: model update cadence, model capacity, and robustness to new generative methods (e.g., Sora/Veo variants) will determine real-world effectiveness. Users should treat results as a signal rather than definitive proof and expect ongoing maintenance to keep pace with evolving generative techniques.
