A proof step is rejected, a transcript needs work, or a student packet includes something unexpected? The questions below explain the teaching tools and what to check before sharing a case.

We aim to reply within three business days.

What to include

  • Your device model and system version.
  • The app version, view and exact message shown. Leave out passwords, access keys and private records.
  • What you were trying to do, what you expected, and what happened.

Please leave out passwords, access keys, and private records about other people. If we need a file, we’ll suggest a safe way to share it.

Common questions

Why does macOS ask about the login Keychain?

The workspace key is protected by macOS. A system authorization request can appear after an app update. The app has no separate Mac-password field. Preserve the Keychain and workspace; deleting the key can make saved work inaccessible.

Is the proof checker complete?

It checks a stated subset of forward-inference rules. Truth tables cover bounded classical propositional logic. Neither establishes factual truth, source reliability or a moral conclusion.

Can teams join from separate devices?

No. Team and Referee workflows support local work; they are not remote sessions or access controls.

Is this an official Ethics Bowl?

It is a classroom practice aid with source-linked guidance and custom sequences. Check current rules and device restrictions with the event organizer. Human rubrics are not official results.

Why is transcription unavailable?

Transcription is a Mac feature. It needs permissions and supported on-device English (US) recognition. iPhone, Android and Windows use typed or pasted transcripts. There is no cloud fallback. You can type, edit and organize transcript segments manually.

Requirements

MacPrivate Mac edition for Apple silicon with macOS 14 or later. Public downloads are not open.
Other devicesPrivate focused editions for iPhone, Android and Windows use the same five stages, with fewer tools and typed or pasted transcripts. They are not available from this website.
