The Supreme Court doesn't always announce when it publishes. SCOTUSWatch does. SCOTUSWatch monitors the Supreme Court's website and sends you a push notification the moment new documents appear — slip opinions, order lists, shadow docket rulings, miscellaneous orders, and more. No polling. No refresh. Just alerts when the Court acts. WHAT YOU GET • Push notifications for every new Supreme Court document • AI-generated plain-language summaries of opinions and orders, with topic tags for quick identification (optional) • Watched Cases — track specific cases, get notified when new docket entries are filed, or the Court issues an order affecting them. Also view the full docket and read filings in the built-in PDF viewer • Opinion Day Live Activities — on decision days, follow slip-opinion releases in real time from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Reader — read opinions in a clean, reflowable view with your own font, text size, margins, spacing, and light/sepia/dark theme • Listen — hear slip opinions read aloud with a distinct voice for each Justice, with background play, speed control, chapter navigation by author, and offline downloads • Audio Clips — share a passage of up to 30 seconds as a video, straight from the player • Full document type coverage: Slip Opinions, Order Lists, Opinions Relating to Orders, Miscellaneous Orders, and In-Chambers Opinions • Full Term overview — searchable and sortable by document type, month, and Slip Opinion author READ, LISTEN, AND SHARE Every opinion can be read the way you like it. Switch from the raw PDF to Reader for clean, reflowable text tuned to your own typography and theme. Prefer to listen? SCOTUSWatch reads slip opinions aloud with a distinct voice per Justice — play in the background, adjust the speed, skip ahead, and jump between authors by chapter, online or off. When a passage stands out, clip up to 30 seconds and share it. FOR LAWYERS, JOURNALISTS, AND COURT WATCHERS Whether you're a litigator tracking cert grants, a reporter covering the Court, a law student following a landmark case, or just a curious citizen — SCOTUSWatch puts you in the front row, no matter where you are. ABOUT AI SUMMARIES When enabled, SCOTUSWatch uses AI to generate plain-language summaries of new opinions and orders, along with a short topic tag identifying the area of law. Summaries are clearly labeled and intended to help you quickly understand what was decided — not to replace the original document. AI summaries may contain errors or omissions; always refer to the official Court document for authoritative text. SCOTUSWatch is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Supreme Court of the United States. Terms of Use: https://scottsapps.angstreich.net/TOS.html
