Field notes
The site describes inspecting containers and individual streams, then measuring properties from the media itself rather than relying only on declared metadata. Listed outputs include branded PDF and HTML reports, JSON and CSV exports, and MD5 or SHA-256 fixity checksums. The Mac app is described as supporting Apple silicon and Intel, with macOS 14 or later required.
