HaraMemo

A secure, timestamped logbook for people in Japan dealing with harassment via LINE and other messengers — captures evidence the new Premium Block feature could otherwise erase, with one-tap export formatted for Japanese police.

Target user

People in Japan experiencing harassment, stalking, or unwanted contact from ex-partners and acquaintances who need durable evidence

Features
  • Tamper-evident message archive: screenshots and forwarded messages are hashed and timestamped locally before storage so the chain of custody holds
  • Risk pattern detector: flags escalation signals like late-night messaging, repeated location probing, or third-party contact attempts
  • Police-ready export: generates a formatted koban-style PDF (日付・内容・送信者情報) accepted by Japanese police stations
  • Survivor-first design: PIN-locked vault, panic wipe, and decoupled operation so users can still log messages after they block the sender
Why now

LINE's new Premium Block feature sparked JP debate specifically because it lets a sender silently remove you from their friend list and hides all messages — advocates warn it could be used to erase evidence in ongoing harassment and stalking cases, creating immediate need for an independent evidence tool.

Demand
7/10

Japan recorded 22,881 stalking consultations in 2025 (+16.9% YoY) and the July 2026 LINE Premium Block announcement triggered widespread press debate explicitly citing 証拠隠滅 (evidence destruction) in stalking/harassment cases — concrete and growing demand.令和7年のDV相談・ストーカー被害・児童虐待への警察対応状況を公表Lineプレミアムブロックの賛否が割れる理由を4つの視点で整理

Whitespace
4/10

水越法律事務所 already built and freely distributes a client-side LINE evidence app (.txt → court-ready PDF) and multiple law-firm/PI guides exist; HaraMemo would need clear differentiation (Premium Block framing, police-formatted export) to stand out in a crowded free-tools field.Lineのやりとりを証拠にしたい —— 弁護士が本気で作った証拠化アプリ

Monetization
2/10

Direct competitor is lawyer-built and free; users are often victims in financial distress, and the Japanese legal-aid ecosystem already subsidizes evidence preparation — low willingness-to-pay for a B2C app makes B2B (law firms) the only realistic monetization path.Lineのやりとりを証拠にしたい —— 弁護士が本気で作った証拠化アプリLine・DMをハラスメントの証拠として残すコツ

Longevity
6/10

Stalking in Japan has risen sharply for years and Premium Block activates a multi-year debate, but LY Corp could ship its own evidence-export feature or regulators could mandate evidence preservation, eroding the niche quickly.令和7年のDV相談・ストーカー被害・児童虐待への警察対応状況を公表Line新機能「プレミアムブロック」とは?使う側のメリット・デメリット

Feasibility
5/10

Building a wrapper around LINE's manual .txt backup export is straightforward, but true one-tap continuous logging is blocked by iOS/Android sandboxing (no background access to LINE DB) — practical version is a semi-manual importer, which reduces value vs. existing free tools.Lineのやりとりを証拠にしたい —— 弁護士が本気で作った証拠化アプリ
