Most people who represent themselves lose to the process, not the facts — a missed deadline, the wrong form, a box filled in that should have been left blank. This free tool is built to stop that happening to you.

Access to justice, for everyone
If you can't pay for a solicitor — or you simply don't know where to start — you shouldn't lose your case on a technicality. This free software helps you represent yourself properly, and avoid the mistakes that catch people out.
Get started freeMost people who go to court alone lose to the process, not the facts.
Legal representation costs hundreds of pounds an hour. So thousands of people every year face the courts alone — against the other side's solicitors, who do this for a living. They usually have a strong case. What beats them is the machinery: the wrong form, a missed deadline, a box filled in that should have been left blank, a letter that gave away their position.
This software was built by a litigant in person who lived that fight, to make sure the next person doesn't lose for the wrong reasons. It won't argue your case — that's yours. It makes sure the paperwork, the deadlines and the procedure never sink it.
Everything runs on your own computer. There is no account and nothing is uploaded — your case details never leave the machine you use.
Type what your case is about. We'll show you — using figures we measured, not guessed — how much of the paperwork this handles, how much professional work it saves you paying for, and the specific mistakes it stops you making. Enter your details once; it does the rest, however many parties or companies your case involves.
An automation is one discrete thing the software does for you that you'd otherwise do by hand. Every figure is counted from the code, not estimated:
The ~32 hours saved is two parts: about 16½ hours of form-filling (measured — 1,499 boxes at 40 seconds each) and about 15½ hours of research and preparation the tool does for you (working out which forms you need, checking they're current, finding case law, drafting FOI/SAR letters, Companies House checks, building the bundle). Research time is estimated per task at cautious first-timer rates. Across a whole case, with its repeat applications and responses, the number of steps actually performed runs into the tens of thousands — but 2,475 is the fixed library of things the tool can do, which is the number we advertise.
These are the errors that catch out people representing themselves. Each one is something the software is built to prevent.
Court time limits are counted in strict ways — "14 days after service" is not 14 days after you read it. Miss one and you can lose the right to respond at all.
Every deadline is calculated under the actual procedure rules and shown as a real date, so you know exactly when things are due.
Filing the wrong form, or a version GOV.UK has since replaced, gets your application rejected and wastes weeks you may not have.
The right forms for your type of case, checked against GOV.UK every week, with a one-click update the moment any changes.
Many form boxes are for the other side, the court, or situations that don't apply to you. Filling them in wrongly confuses your application — or gives information away.
Every filled form comes with a colour-coded copy: green for done, grey for leave blank, amber for the few boxes that genuinely need you.
An off-the-cuff email to the other side's solicitors can concede a point, miss a "without prejudice" label, or fall for a pressure tactic.
Pick the situation and get careful drafts to review — with "without prejudice" handled correctly and a dated record of their conduct kept for you.
When it matters, people can't find the email that proves their point, or can't show when it arrived.
Both sides of every email thread captured, dated and preserved, ready to build into a court bundle.

What's left for you is what only you can provide: your own account of events, your choices, and your signature — exactly what a court requires to be yours.
One file. No account, no sign-up, no payment wall. It sets itself up on the first run, including double-click launchers so you never need a terminal again.
Your details, the other side, children if relevant, dates and amounts — or upload the letter before action you sent or received, and it reads the details out itself.
Pick FL401, C100, N244, any of the 78. Boxes are filled, deadlines calculated, and the review copy shows what still needs you.
Pick the situation and get ready-to-review draft replies, with the matching document produced alongside where one is needed.
For everyone, always. If it helps you and you can afford to, pay what you can afterwards — so it stays free for the next person who can't.

This is the whole point: legal help is out of reach for the people who need it most, so this will always be free to use with no locked features and no trial clock. If it saved you time, stress or money and you can afford to give something back, you keep it free for someone who can't. If you can't — use it, win, and tell someone else it exists. That's how justice spreads.
