Let clients hand you evidence you can actually file

The screenshots arrive in five emails, out of order, some of them photographs of a screen taken with another phone. Someone in the office spends an afternoon renaming files, working out the sequence and pasting them into a document. That afternoon is not billable at a rate anyone enjoys explaining.

ThreadProof moves that work to the client, where it belongs. You send a link, they import their own screenshots, they draw the boxes over their own children's names, and you receive one PDF with the pages numbered, a declaration in their words, a redaction log and a SHA-256 fingerprint for every source file.

What you get back

A single PDF in the Court or Lawyer profile. The Lawyer bundle is a zip: the PDF, every original file exactly as the client imported it, and a hashes.txt listing each SHA-256. That means the working document and the underlying files travel together, and a fingerprint can be recomputed at any point later.

Nothing is retyped. The screenshots are placed as images, so nothing has been paraphrased or auto-corrected on the way through, and the declaration is written by the client rather than by us.

  • Numbered PDF with cover page, declaration and continuous pagination
  • Redaction log naming each box and its reason
  • Originals plus hashes.txt in the Lawyer bundle
  • Optional CSV transcript for review platforms

Matters, Bates and exhibit labels

Professional adds a Matter: a container for several cases with a running Bates counter, your prefix and start number, so three exports in the same matter stay in one sequence. Exhibit labels run A to ZZ automatically, and the cover page carries your firm name and logo rather than ours.

It is not a document management system and does not pretend to be. It handles the screenshot exhibit and then hands you an ordinary PDF that your existing system already understands.

Sending it to a client without a training call

Most clients finish in under ten minutes on their phone, because the whole thing runs in the phone browser and there is nothing to install and no account to create for a first packet. Tell them three things: capture with the date and time header visible, do not crop the bubbles, and black out anything they would not want a stranger to read.

Because processing is local, their messages never pass through our servers or yours until they choose to send the finished file.

What we will not tell your client

We do not tell clients how a court will treat a document, and we do not offer them legal advice about their matter. Every page says the tool formats documents and that questions about their case belong with their lawyer. You will not be undoing our promises.

Questions people ask

Can the cover page carry our firm name and logo?
Yes, on Professional. Firm name, logo and a saved declaration template you write once and reuse across matters.
Do you see our clients' messages?
No. Import, stitching, redaction and PDF writing happen in the client's browser. There is no server copy to subpoena or breach.
Can we keep the Bates sequence across several exports?
Yes. A Matter holds the running counter, so the next export continues from where the last one stopped.
What does it cost and can I cancel?
Personal is $9 per month or $79 per year. A one-time Case Pass is $24 for 90 days. Professional is $49 per month or $439 per year. Cancel anytime from your Account page in two taps; access continues to the end of the period you paid for. Every charge has a 14-day money-back policy: see the policy at /refunds.
