Documents
without the grind
A macOS app for legal practitioners. Enter client details once, sync with Notion, generate every document you need — instantly.
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.
Compliance Anxiety
AML/CTF Tranche 2 is mandatory from July 2026. New obligations, unclear processes, no time to prepare.
Everything you need,
nothing you don't
Built specifically for legal practitioners who want to spend less time on documents and more time on clients.
Matter Workspace
Your matter hub. Overview cards show client details and workflow progress at a glance. Smart forms adapt to the matter type — conditional fields hide irrelevant sections, computed fields auto-calculate, and guided interview mode walks you through new matters step by step.
Batch Operations
Select multiple documents and open, email, or export them all at once. QuickLook preview lets you check documents without leaving the app. Export entire matters as ZIP archives.
Notion Sync
Search clients, create matters, and sync notes bidirectionally with Notion. Shared notes with @mention highlighting. Recently updated matters appear on your dashboard alongside court processing times.
AML/CTF Compliance
Built-in AML/CTF compliance blocks for Tranche 2 (mandatory 1 July 2026). Identity verification, PEP screening, risk assessment, and source of funds — all integrated into the matter workflow. Generate CDD reports with one click.
Smart Documents
Select templates and your data flows in. Preview shows exactly what will render — edit missing values inline. Computed fields auto-populate names, addresses, and dates. No more [MISSING] surprises.
Your Templates
Build templates using standard Word documents with Jinja2 placeholders. No proprietary format — your precedents stay portable.
Workflow Stages
Forms are grouped by workflow stage with conditional visibility. Irrelevant sections hide automatically based on earlier answers.
Shared Drive Ready
Works on Dropbox, iCloud, or any shared drive. Matter locking with read-only mode prevents conflicts. Template improvements apply to all existing matters automatically.
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.
Three steps, zero friction
From client intake to completed documents in minutes, not hours.
Create a Matter
Select the matter type, add client details, and the guided interview walks you through the essentials. Your folder structure is created automatically.
Fill in the Details
Smart forms adapt to your matter. Conditional fields hide what's not relevant. Computed fields handle the tedious bits — uppercase names, joined addresses, inverse booleans.
Generate Documents
Select precedents, preview the result, and generate. Everything lands in the right folder with the right name.
