A loop that carries the Human-made mark was performed live inside HumHerd, and the playing session that created it was captured as it happened and bound to that exact track.
While someone plays, HumHerd notices passive signals about the performance itself: timing, pacing, the small irregularities of a real person interacting in real time. Nothing is uploaded and 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 scored against the statistical shape of real human play. When a saved track has a live session bound to it, the badge lights. It cannot be added by hand, bought, or copied between tracks.
It is not identity verification. It does not name the person behind a track or prove who they are.
And we will not call it "verified human". A determined imitation of human play is expensive to fake, but not impossible, and we would rather under-claim than get caught over-claiming. We are building device attestation to raise that bar further. Until then, read the badge as strong evidence, honestly labeled: a person made this, live.
Feeds are filling with generated audio, and most systems respond by labeling what machines make. HumHerd mints the opposite mark: positive evidence that a person made something. Every sound here is synthesized on your own device in the moment it is played. There are no uploads, so there is nothing for an AI to generate ahead of time. The badge just makes that provable per track.
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.
