Graph view for lawyers

See the whole library at once.

See every note you have written about an issue and the ones you forgot were connected. Most lawyers find a theme running through a matter file that they never filed as one.
Every linked note plotted across the whole library
Spot clusters you never filed together

Note stats alongside it for how your writing is spread out

Connections you did not plan

Two notes from different months turn out to be about the same thing.

Links do the work

Link note to note as you write and the map fills itself in.

Where your attention went

Note stats show what you have actually been writing about.

Jump from the map into the note

Click a dot and you are reading the thing it stands for.

Clusters your folders missed

Notes filed in three places show up as one group on the map.

The wide shot of the library

Everything you have written, on one screen, at the same time.
Results

Three things that stop being a problem

Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for lawyers.

Find the point without rereading the file

Search by the issue rather than the document name and get the note that covers it.

Attendance notes written from the call

Record where you are permitted to, and work from an accurate transcript instead of memory.

Keep research and reasoning together

PDFs, extracts and your own analysis live in the same note, in the same matter folder.
In practice

What that looks like for lawyers

A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.

New matter

One folder, one chronology note, and everything else linked to it.

Research

Keep the PDF and your extract in the same note so the reasoning survives.

Before a hearing

Ask your notes for the chronology and the open points.
