Question 3
What more is inside?
A lot — and most of it works instantly, with no AI at all. You choose the gear: lightning-fast and deterministic, or a private on-device AI when you want deeper answers. Here's the whole workbench, and exactly where each piece lives in the app.
Two ways to work, side by side
Instant & deterministic
- Full-text search across every document and email
- Timelines, logs & registers, cross-document matrix
- DataLab — cited tables built from your evidence
- Real redaction, fund-flow, email threading, authenticity
- Step-by-step workflows for 10 professions
- Every result traceable to its source — nothing invented
Deeper answers, when you want them
- Ask in plain language; answers cite their evidence
- Confidence, timeliness and conflicts on every answer
- Reads, extracts, cross-checks & embeds every source — that's the time
- Runs 100% on your Mac — no accounts, no uploads
- Runs in the background; use Lightning meanwhile, switch AI off anytime
Times scale with your archive size and your Mac. Lightning is instant because it skips AI and embeddings; Full power is slower because it actually reads, extracts and cites every source. The app shows a live time estimate before any long task, and you can stop it anytime.

A look inside
Built for people who can't afford to be wrong
Pick your focus on first launch — the app speaks your profession's own language and tailors the workspace to the jobs you actually do.
Solo & small-firm lawyers
Case chronology, privilege log, exhibit list, Bates-style document production — the document-review workflow big-firm platforms charge per-gigabyte for — for a one-time purchase. No processing fees, ever.
Investigators
Subject workups, chain of custody, timeline & link analysis — who knew what, and when, with the gaps in the record made visible.
Insurance fraud (SIU)
Work a referred claim file: red-flag worksheets (indicators, never proof), statement comparison, loss chronology, and a defensible SIU report.
Forensic accountants
Follow the money — funds tracing, tracing schedules where every amount drills to its source document, exhibit-ready expert reports.
Journalists
Verify claims across a document dump — fact-check board, right of reply, the tick-tock — what's supported, what conflicts, what's missing.
Compliance & HR investigators
Workplace investigations that stand up later: allegations tracked, statements compared, findings on the balance of probabilities.
Researchers & historians
PRISMA-style screening, source criticism, chronology & periodisation — reconstruct the past with honest uncertainty, not false precision.
Genealogists
Research to the Genealogical Proof Standard: a research log, citations that reopen their source, conflicting records resolved — and a written proof argument.
Content creators
Research a video, podcast or newsletter: fact-check board, source vetting, guest background, and a source & rights locker — publish what holds up, and show your work.
Everyone
Your private, searchable memory — emergency binder, legacy binder, important dates, and answers about your own documents.
