TrialMate is trial preparation for attorneys who do their own prep. Case management, witness work, and AI assistance on an iPhone and iPad, built for solo and small firm practice rather than for an enterprise rollout. MULTIPLE TRIALS, KEPT APART Run as many trials as you need with complete data isolation between them. Switch trials from anywhere in the app and everything follows: witnesses, notes, documents, chronology, and checklist. CASE CHRONOLOGY Build the timeline of what happened, and tie every fact to the witness who can testify to it and the document that proves it. Each fact carries the date it happened, a summary, detail for quotes and page and line references, and whether the other side disputes it. Mark a fact disputed and it lands in its own filter, so the contested version of your case is one tap away. The chronology sorts by when things happened rather than when you entered them, searches across summaries, detail and issue tags, and exports as text straight into a brief or an email. WITNESS PREP Build your witness list per trial, keep prep notes against each one, and generate direct and cross examination questions to work from. AI CROSS EXAMINATION AND ARGUMENTS Generate cross examination lines and argument outlines from the facts of your case, then edit them into your own words. The output is a starting point for your judgment, never a substitute for it. A cross examination generated against a dated chronology tied to named witnesses is a sharper one than anything built from loose notes. DOCUMENT SCANNER AND ANALYSIS Scan a document with the camera and get the text back with an analysis that flags key facts, arguments, tactics, red flags, and omissions worth a second look. TRIAL CHECKLIST Task tracking for the run up to trial, so the small things that lose cases do not sit in your head. CASE NOTES Notes per trial, searchable and exportable. EXPORT AND SHARE Send any argument set, question set, chronology, scanned document, or note out as text or a PDF, straight to your file or your co counsel. ICLOUD SYNC Your cases follow you from the iPhone in your pocket to the iPad on counsel table, and every case is backed up to your own private iCloud. Backup is free on every plan. ABOUT THE AI, PLAINLY The AI features send only the text you submit for that request, nothing from your other trials. No name, account, or device identifier goes with it. Requests pass through a ThrasherApps endpoint that retains no case content, and are processed by a commercial language model provider under their own terms. You hold the confidentiality obligation and the app does not decide for you what may be sent to an outside processor. Nothing is ever sent automatically. Everything else, including your cases, notes, witnesses, chronology, and documents, stays on your device and in your own iCloud. FREE AND PRO Free covers two active cases with every preparation tool: witnesses, scanned documents, the case chronology, search, export, and iCloud backup. Archived cases do not count toward the limit. Pro removes the case limit and adds the AI drafting work, which is cross examination built from your chronology, opening and closing drafts, motion briefs, and document summaries: $49.99 monthly, or $399.99 annually which saves 32 percent. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple account settings. Privacy Policy: https://thrasherapps.com/trialmate/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://thrasherapps.com/trialmate/terms.html Support: https://thrasherapps.com/trialmate/support.html TrialMate is a preparation aid, not legal advice, and not a substitute for your own research and judgment.
