Sidebar exports
Try a sample export
Sam and Alex are made up and their messages were scripted, but nothing was faked or backdated: each one was sent through Sidebar as it happened, over about an hour and a half on November 1, 2026, anchored like any family's, and exported the same way.
Sidebar messages between Sam and Alex
3 pages: the cover, then 10 messages with a weekend swap asked for and accepted, a dentist bill paid back by Venmo, and both parents checking in at the exchange.

Check it three ways
- 1 · The fileAdd it at phynk.com/verifyDrop the PDF on the check page and type its code. It checks this is the very file Sidebar made, and every record's proof, on your device.
- 2 · A printed pageScan the square at its footPrint a page of messages and scan the large square at its foot with a phone. It opens that page, ready to read the small squares beside its messages.
- 3 · One messageScan the small squaresOn that phone page, scan the square beside a message, or type the code under it, to see it as Sidebar's records hold it and compare it with the paper. At phynk.com/verify, the codes show whether they're this export's, in order, with none missing.
Try changing it
Edit a word in the PDF and add it again with its code: the check says it isn't the file Sidebar made. On paper, a message's square still shows it as it was sent, so a changed word doesn't match its own square.
What's made up
The parents, the children and their phones are fictional. The exchange spot is a public library, Sacramento's Central Library, and the check-in points sit beside its front entrance.
A record's Bitcoin proof can take a few hours to complete after it's anchored; the check fetches the latest from Sidebar's public list. Your lawyer can tell you how to use an export in your case.
