A private, searchable archive of every source conversation.

Ugle for journalists — private, local, searchable source archive

Seven years of source recordings. Every word spoken is retrievable — not by filename or date, but by what was actually said. A source mentioned a name four months ago. Find it in 30ms.

Because Ugle runs entirely on-device, source protection is architectural. No server to subpoena. No cloud storage to breach.
