Trial preparation for attorneys who do their own prep. Build the chronology of what happened, tie every fact to the witness who can testify to it and the document that proves it, work up your witnesses, and draft cross examination against a case you can actually see. Built for solo and small firm practice rather than for an enterprise rollout, on the iPhone in your pocket and the iPad on counsel table.
Most trial prep falls apart in the gap between what you know and where it is written down. TrialMate closes that gap and then works from it.
Every fact carries the date it happened, a summary, detail for quotes and page and line references, and whether the other side disputes it. Each one links to the witnesses who can testify to it and the documents that prove it. Mark a fact disputed and it lands in its own filter, so the contested version of your case is one tap away.
A witness list per trial, prep notes against each one, and direct and cross examination questions built to work from. Witnesses tie back to the chronology, so you can see at a glance which facts rest on which testimony.
Generate cross examination lines and argument outlines from the facts of your case, then edit them into your own words. A cross built against a dated chronology tied to named witnesses is sharper than anything drafted from loose notes. The output is a starting point for your judgment, never a substitute for it.
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. Attach it to the facts it proves.
Task tracking for the run up to trial, so the small things that lose cases do not sit in your head. Notes per trial, searchable and exportable.
Run as many matters 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. iCloud sync carries them between your devices.
You hold the confidentiality obligation, so you should know exactly what leaves the device.
Only material from the matter you are working in is sent. Cross examination sends the chronology entries tied to that witness and a short excerpt of the documents behind them; argument drafting sends the chronology, the contested facts and your notes. Documents are never sent whole. Nothing from your other matters ever goes with it. No name, no account, no device identifier, no location. Requests pass through a ThrasherApps endpoint that retains no case content, and are processed by a commercial language model provider under their own terms.
Nothing is ever sent automatically. The AI features run only when you tap them. Everything else, including your cases, notes, witnesses, chronology and documents, stays on your device and in your own iCloud account.
The app does not decide for you what may be sent to an outside processor. Your jurisdiction’s rules, your firm policy, your engagement letters and any protective order govern that judgment. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Free gives you two active matters with the whole app inside them: chronology, witnesses, documents, notes, checklist, search and export. Not a crippled demo, a real matter you can actually try it on.
Pro removes the two matter cap, unlocks the AI features, and adds iCloud sync and backup across your devices. Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple and can be cancelled any time in your Apple account settings.
TrialMate is a preparation aid, not legal advice, and not a substitute for your own research and judgment. Verify everything it produces before you take it into a courtroom. See the terms of use.
