What this badge means
A loop that carries the Human-made mark was saved during an interactive HumHerd session, and a behavioral record of that session was bound to the exact track.
How it works
While someone plays, HumHerd notices passive signals about the performance itself: timing, pacing, and interaction patterns. Nothing listens to your microphone. The signals describe how a session unfolded, not what was played.
Each capture spends a single-use token issued by our server, the server is the only thing that can record one, and every capture is checked for the interaction patterns expected from live play. When a saved track has a qualifying session bound to it, the badge lights. It cannot be added by hand, bought, or copied between tracks.
What it does not mean
It is not identity verification. It does not name the person behind a track, prove who they are, or guarantee that no automation was involved.
Interaction signals can be imitated. We are building device attestation to raise that bar further. Until then, read the badge as evidence that the track was saved through HumHerd's live performance flow, not as absolute proof of who or what made every sound.
Why it exists
Feeds are filling with generated audio, and most systems respond by labeling what machines make. HumHerd records evidence about the creative process instead. It does not offer AI audio generation. The badge connects a saved track to signals from its live in-app performance session.
Your music stays yours
HumHerd never claims ownership of anything you make. Every track carries a license its creator chooses, and the badge travels with the track: on its public page, in its MIDI export, and on its share card.
