About

Investigator Suite

Features
Read full description

Investigator Suite is a case documentation tool for private investigators and law enforcement investigators. Open a case folder, and everything about that case lives in one place — people, notes, photographs, timeline, and the documents you scanned along the way. SCAN AN ID Photograph a driver's licence or identification card and the text is read on your device. Name, date of birth, ID number, address. You check it before it goes in, because a worn card in bad light is a guess, not a fact. DICTATE INSTEAD OF TYPE Speak a note when your hands are full. It goes straight into the case folder. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No cloud. No server holding your case files. The app never looks anyone up and queries no database — you record your own casework, and it stays on the phone in your pocket. LOCK IT Require Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to open the app. It re-locks whenever you put the phone down. EXPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT Send a case out as a PDF or as text, in whichever language the app is set to. ENCRYPTED BACKUP One password-protected file holding every folder and photograph. You choose where it goes. Nobody else can open it — including us. BILINGUAL Full English and Spanish. Switch anytime; the export follows. The first three case folders are free. After that, one payment unlocks the app for good — no subscription, nothing renews.
