The clerk that never leaves the office
Point ClerkSafe at a folder of case documents. It renames and files them, summarizes each in plain English, builds a date-ordered chronology, and pulls every deadline it finds into a calendar you can import — entirely on your own machine.
Illustration of a ClerkSafe run — file names from a sample matter.
The illustration above is the idea. This is ClerkSafe itself, after a real run on a sample matter: every deadline it found, with the exact source text it came from, ready to review, edit, approve, and export to your calendar — all processed on your own machine.
Actual ClerkSafe output on a sample matter — deadlines and plain-English summaries, nothing uploaded.
ClerkSafe does its work on your machine. Not in a data center, not in someone's training set, not behind a login you don't control.
On a plane, in a courthouse basement, on a hotel connection you'd never trust. There's nothing to connect to.
You never create a profile. We can't see your matters, your clients, or your calendar — there's no mechanism by which we could.
ABA Formal Opinion 512's consent requirement is triggered by putting client information into a third-party AI tool. ClerkSafe never does — so that question is removed entirely. You still own competence and verification: ClerkSafe drafts a first pass, you confirm it.
There's no server to breach, because there's no server.
On-device by architecture — not by policyYou could. For plenty of legal work it's genuinely useful. The problem isn't the quality of the answer — it's what happens to the document on the way there.

Your first 3 matters are free. Windows & macOS. Annual prices are paid in full upfront, not in monthly installments.
Your subscription includes software use, updates, and standard email support during its term. Renew each year to continue using the subscription.
Pay once and keep using the last version covered by your license without an expiration date. The first year includes updates and standard email support. A perpetual license does not include all future versions, indefinite support, or guaranteed compatibility with future operating systems.
For perpetual licenses, another year of updates and standard email support costs $99 for Solo, $249 for Small firm, or $399 for Firm. You do not have to renew to keep using your last covered version. Annual subscribers already receive updates and standard support during their subscription term.
Firm packages cover attorneys, paralegals, and assistants within the stated limit, using separate local installations. They do not include shared matters, cloud synchronization, or centralized administration.
Request a quote or ask about a department pilot. Tell us how many people need access and whether you need help with setup or training. We will scope software, onboarding, and enhanced support separately.

What the ABA's first AI ethics opinion actually requires — and why on-device tools change the calculus.
WorkflowA simple, repeatable way to capture every date in a matter without a full calendaring department.
SecurityThe real privacy difference between on-device and cloud AI — and how to evaluate any tool.
No. ClerkSafe reads and writes files on your own machine. There's no account, no sync, and no server component — it runs with the Wi-Fi switched off.
No, and that's deliberate. ClerkSafe finds and flags dates that appear in your documents and lets you review, edit, and approve them before they go to your calendar. It does not compute deadlines from jurisdictional rules, and it isn't a substitute for your own docketing judgment.
PDF, Word (.docx), and plain text. Scanned or image-only PDFs are read with on-device OCR, so faxes and scans work too — they just take a little longer.
Solo costs $249/year or $689 for a perpetual license. Small firm covers up to 3 people for $599/year or $1,699 perpetual. Firm covers up to 6 people for $999/year or $2,799 perpetual. Larger firms and government departments can request a quote. Prices are in USD before applicable taxes. Your first 3 matters are free.
The annual subscription includes software use, updates, and standard email support for one year. You pay the full annual price upfront. Renew each year to continue using the subscription. Both payment options process your documents on your computer.
Pay once to keep using the last version covered by your license without an expiration date. Your first year includes updates and standard email support. Future versions, ongoing support, and compatibility with future operating systems are not included indefinitely.
Only if you want to continue receiving updates and standard email support with a perpetual license. Optional annual coverage costs $99 for Solo, $249 for Small firm, or $399 for Firm. If you do not renew, you can keep using your last covered version. An annual subscription already includes updates and standard email support during its term.
A firm license covers the stated number of people, including attorneys, paralegals, and assistants, using separate local installations. It does not include shared matters, cloud synchronization, or centralized administration.
No. ClerkSafe is a work-product assistant. It drafts a first pass and flags dates; you review and verify everything, exactly as you would with a new clerk.
