CaseJournal vs Build A Case

Case Notes & Clues Capture observations, working theories, follow-up questions, leads, and important details as a case develops. NEW – Investigative Theories Develop multiple working theories for a case. Link supporting and contradicting evidence, people, locations, notes, and timeline events while tracking confidence as your investigation evolves. On-Device Review On supported devices, use Apple Intelligence to review the text-based information stored in a case. Review can consider working theories, notes, clues, people, timeline events, locations, and user-created connections to identify supported facts, possible inconsistencies, information gaps, relationship patterns, and useful follow-up questions. Theory Review can also analyze individual theories by examining supporting and contradicting information, related people, locations, timeline events, unanswered questions, and alternative explanations. Review is advisory only. It does not determine guilt, identity, motive, or legal conclusions. Photo contents and voice-memo audio are not analyzed.

Build A Case helps you keep a clear, organized record when you are dealing with a landlord, an employer, a government agency, an insurer, or any party you need to document. When you finally file a complaint, escalate to a regulator, or talk to an attorney, you usually arrive with scattered notes, screenshots buried in Photos, and half-remembered dates. Build A Case gives you one place to put all of it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log every interaction — phone call, email, in-person, web form, or letter — with the date, who you spoke to, and what was said. • Attach evidence — photos, video, audio, screenshots, and documents — straight from your camera or library. • Mark up a photo and save the annotated copy alongside the untouched original. • See your whole history on a single timeline, so nothing falls through the cracks. • Export a clean PDF case file you can hand to an agency, a regulator, or a lawyer. BUILT FOR TRUST • Every file is fingerprinted with a SHA-256 hash and timestamped, so you can show it has not been altered since you saved it. • Everything stays on your device. There is no account to create and no server we control. Optional iCloud Sync (off by default) keeps your files in your own private iCloud. • Lock the app with Face ID so your records stay private. WHERE TO FILE Build A Case includes built-in reference information for U.S. federal and state agencies and the kinds of issues people commonly document — housing, employment, consumer and financial, insurance, civil rights, education, and more — so you have a starting point for where a complaint may go. PRIVACY FIRST We collect no data, run no analytics, and show no ads. Your case files are yours. Build A Case is a documentation and organization tool. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It is not a substitute for a licensed attorney or other professional. If you are in crisis, the app links to 988 and other support resources. Free to use for documentation. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited PDF exports after a 30-day free trial.
