DocketClock: 18-B Billing

DocketClock is contemporaneous time capture built specifically for New York 18-B assigned counsel. Capture billable time the moment it happens, in court, between cases, wherever you are, and turn it into a clean voucher summary laid out in the exact field order of the 18-B Web system. It never submits anything. The official portal stays your system of record. DocketClock just gets your voucher rules-correct and ready to file, so you stay in control, and the app never sits between you and the court. CAPTURE TIME THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS • One-tap start/stop timer for each case, so you never reconstruct your day from memory on a legal pad later. • Keeps running through interruptions. Step out, take a call, lock your phone; the clock keeps counting and drops you right back on it. • In-court vs. out-of-court with a single toggle. • Context-aware quick-picks that steer you toward specific, court-ready descriptions. • Rounded to the nearest 5 minutes (the NYC rule), billed at $158/hour. BUILT FOR HOW 18-B WORK ACTUALLY FLOWS • Every kind of assignment: Criminal (felony, homicide, misdemeanor, violation), Family Court (by article, with a family's dockets grouped under one File Number), IDV (criminal and family dockets under one case), and the rarer Supreme Court (Civil) assignments. • Record your role (counsel to the party, Attorney for the Child, or Guardian ad Litem) and the client's name, set once per case. • "Jurist," not just "judge": a matter may be heard by a judge, court attorney referee, support magistrate, JHO, or the presiding judge's court attorney. • One appearance across several dockets? Time is split evenly, never double-billed. THE $10,000 CAP, HANDLED HONESTLY • Live cap tracking: billed, unbilled, and remaining at a glance, with a heads-up as you approach. • The cap is a threshold, not a wall. Go over and DocketClock does not stop you; it points you to an Affirmation of Extraordinary Circumstances, with a checklist of the factors courts look for and a place for your narrative, carried straight into your export. • Caps the way the rules do: a Family file's dockets share one $10,000; each criminal matter has its own; an IDV case keeps the criminal and family sides on separate vouchers. KEEPS YOUR VOUCHERS FROM GETTING REJECTED • Encourages specific descriptions. Vague entries get bounced; the quick-picks and prompts steer you toward language the court accepts. • Knows what is not billable: voucher preparation, opening or closing a file, travel, the lunch hour, anyone else's time. Each is kept for your records but counted as $0, out of both the fee and the cap. • Expenses stay separate from the cap, exactly as the rules require. NEVER MISS THE 45-DAY DEADLINE • Records each proceeding's disposition date and counts down the 45-day filing window, warning you well before it closes and flagging anything past due. YOUR VOUCHER, READY TO FILE • A clean summary in 18-B Web field order: date, start and finish (to the nearest 5 minutes), in/out of court, description, and the jurist for in-court entries. • Export to PDF or CSV. • "Mark as billed" snapshots a voucher and locks those entries, so you always know what is submitted and what is still open. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Face ID / Touch ID lock on every launch. • Everything stays on your device: no account, no cloud, works offline (even in a courthouse basement with no signal). • Runs on both iPhone and iPad. Start with a 7-day free trial, then $15/month or $150/year. Your captured records always stay viewable and exportable, even without a subscription. Built for New York 18-B assigned counsel.
