Documents without
the grind
A macOS app for legal practitioners that transforms matter data into polished documents. Enter client details once, generate all the documents you need — instantly.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later
Sound familiar?
The daily friction of legal document work.
Copy-Paste Fatigue
Same client details, copied into dozens of documents, over and over.
Typos & Errors
One wrong digit in a settlement figure. One misspelled name.
Time Drain
Hours spent on document preparation that could be billable work.
Folder Chaos
Inconsistent naming conventions. Lost documents. Frustrated searching.
Built for Legal Practitioners
Everything you need to streamline document creation, nothing you don't.
Matter Management
Create new client matters with consistent folder structures. Matter numbers generate automatically, keeping your file system organised.
Smart Document Generation
Select templates, and client details flow into every document automatically. Missing fields are clearly marked — no more hidden blanks.
Finder Integration
Right-click any matter folder in Finder to generate documents directly. Works seamlessly where you already work.
Custom Templates
Build templates for your practice areas using standard Word documents. Define fields with Jinja2 syntax, and reuse across matters.
Works Offline
No internet required. Everything runs locally on your Mac — generate documents anywhere, even without connectivity.
Team Ready
Share matters via Dropbox, iCloud, or network drives. Built-in file locking prevents conflicts when multiple people work together.
Private by Design
Your client data stays where it belongs — with you.
No cloud servers, no accounts, no data collection. Everything runs locally on your Mac.
Simple Three-Step Workflow
Create a Matter
Set up a new matter with client details and get an organised folder structure instantly.
Choose Templates
Select the documents you need from your template library.
Generate Documents
Your data flows into each template, producing ready-to-use documents.

About This Project
Certum Draft is built for my own small firm legal practice. It solves a specific problem: the tedium of filling in the same client details across dozens of documents for each matter.
Built for solo practitioners and small firms who don't need enterprise software — just something that works reliably. The app is functional and in daily use, with new features landing regularly.
