Your case diary, in your pocket and on your desk.

The same diaries on your phone and your computer.
Everything a case diary should hold
Hearings and next dates
Record what happened and the next date. A calendar shows the week ahead, and the phone reminds you the day before.
Fees, in lakhs
The agreed fee, each payment received and what is still outstanding, for every case and for the whole practice.
Documents and voice notes
Keep orders, scans and photos with the case. On the phone, record a voice note after the hearing.
An assistant that knows your cases
Ask which hearings are this week or which clients owe fees. Ask for a summary or a first draft of an application, then print it or keep it in the diary. Write in English, Urdu or Roman Urdu.
Phone and web, kept in step
Sign in with the same account on the Android app and at app.law-diary.com. Your diaries are private to your account.

Installing it, step by step
- Tap Download Law Diary for Android. Chrome may say File might be harmful. That is Chrome's usual message for any app from outside the Play Store, not a sign that something is wrong. Tap Download anyway.
- When it finishes, tap Open in the notification, or open the Files app → Downloads and tap the Law Diary file.
- Android may say that, for your security, your phone can't install unknown apps from this source. Tap Settings.
- Turn on Allow from this source, then press back.
- Tap Install. If Play Protect warns that the app is unknown, tap More details → Install anyway.
- Open Law Diary and sign in. Use the same account as on the web to see the same diaries.
On older phones (Android 7 and earlier) the setting is in Settings → Security → Unknown sources. You can turn it off again after installing.
Prefer a bigger screen?
The web app has the same diaries, calendar and assistant, laid out for a laptop. Sign in with your Law Diary account.
Questions
Who can see my diaries?
Only you. Your diaries are stored under your account and every request is checked against it. They travel encrypted between your phone or browser and our servers.
Does the phone app work without internet?
Yes. The app keeps your diaries on the phone, so you can read and add entries in court without a signal. Changes are synced when you are back online. The assistant needs internet.
Is the assistant's draft ready to file?
No. It is a first draft. Check the facts, the law, names and dates before you rely on it, as you would with a junior's draft.
Which languages does it understand?
The assistant understands English, Urdu and Roman Urdu. The app itself is in English for now.
Why isn't it on the Play Store?
We publish the app here first. It is signed with the Law Diary key, and the SHA-256 above lets you check the file you downloaded is ours.
Is there an iPhone app?
Not yet. On an iPhone, use the web app at app.law-diary.com in Safari.
How do I check the SHA-256?
It is optional. On a computer, run "certutil -hashfile file.apk SHA256" (Windows) or "shasum -a 256 file.apk" (Mac), and compare the result with the value above.
