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 centre, 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.
| Pasting into a cloud AI | ClerkSafe | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the document goes | Uploaded to a third party | Stays in the folder |
| Client consent question | Raised by ABA Formal Op. 512 | Removed entirely |
| Works offline | No | Always |
| Renames & files the documents | You do it, by hand | Done for you |
| Cost | Per seat, per month, forever | $299 once |
Firm licences are flat, not per-seat — because the person who'll use this most is often your paralegal, and you shouldn't have to decide whether they're worth a seat.
| Licence | Covers | One-time |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | 1 person | $299 |
| Small firm | up to 3 people | $699 |
| Firm | up to 6 people | $1,149 |
| Office | up to 12 people | $1,799 |
| Site | one firm, unlimited people | $2,999 |
Your first 3 matters are free on every licence. Windows & macOS. No subscription, no per-user charge, no renewal — you keep the software you paid for.
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.
No. ClerkSafe is a one-time purchase — $299 for a solo licence, and your first three matters are free. Firm licences are flat rather than per-seat, so everyone in the band is covered, including your paralegal and assistants. No monthly fee, no renewal, no per-user charge.
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.
