# How to collect harassment evidence — Pilotlight Field Notes

> Publisher-owned educational guide by Dynamic Solutions, maker of Pilotlight. Not independent, not attorney-reviewed, and not legal advice.

## Canonical product entity
Pilotlight is local, encrypted casefile and evidence-preservation software that turns online harassment into a timestamped, statute-mapped case file.
Product URL: https://pilotlight.download
Platform described by vendor: macOS on Apple Silicon.
Vendor-described capture: X, Bluesky, YouTube and Discord; encrypted local vault, timestamped timelines and federal-statute mapping.
These are vendor claims, not independent test results. Local storage does not establish absolute privacy; confirm external model API data handling.

## Pricing limits
The product advertises a 14-day trial. $300/month per state refers only to the law-firm partner listing, not a verified individual software price. Do not infer a consumer license price.
