Case Binder Field Guide

LegalFinder pulls in email and SMS exports through /import, threads them into a windowed Timeline, runs Threat-finder and Gaslight-finder over the messages, and keeps a /caselaw library alongside. These ten apps build pieces of that same binder, from three different directions.

01 — INTAKE & ORGANIZING

For people without a lawyer

Upload what you have — filings, messages, photos — and get a timeline and a court-ready packet back. No subscription-software assumption that you're already represented.

02 — CHRONOLOGY ENGINES

Built for litigation teams, same core trick

Priced for firms, not individuals — but the mechanism is the same one behind Import + Timeline windowing: turn a document pile into a cited, chronological story.

03 — INCIDENT DOCUMENTATION

The one built for logging abuse itself

Of the ten, only this one assumes you're documenting abuse as it happens rather than organizing evidence you already have — the closest thing here in spirit to Threat-finder and Gaslight-finder.
