PageHawk for legal
PageHawk Pro · for attorneys who work alone · by Epiphani Studios

The case file, read in an afternoon.

A 4,000-page production. A full data room. Years of discovery. You do not have a litigation-support team, so it is on you. PageHawk is a native Mac tool built for the review itself: fast across the whole set, on-device version redline, and answers pulled straight from the files. Built for the independent attorney who lives in the documents.

Pro is $149 a year. The Mac app is a free download, no card to start · one hour of your time pays for the year · macOS 15 or later
On your Mac. The review runs on your Mac, at the speed of your Mac.
The review flow

Built for the review, not the read.

Open a version, line it up against the last one, and see exactly what changed. The comparison runs on your Mac.

PageHawk reads the whole production, then shows you the nine things that actually changed between versions, with a change index you click to jump. Illustration with sample data, not a real client document.

Why attorneys keep it open

Four things a generic reader will not do.

Fast across long files.

A 600-page deposition or a full production opens and scrolls without the lag. Search inside the document, jump to any page, and move with the keyboard so you are not reaching for the mouse.

See what changed.

Pick two versions and get a paragraph-aligned redline with word-level changes, a one-list change index, and an exported redline PDF. The whole comparison happens on your Mac.

Ask the file.

Ask a question of a document or a folder and get an answer with the passage it came from, generated on your Mac with Apple Intelligence or a local model. Add your own cloud key and the pages a question needs go to that provider.

Mark it up, keep it yours.

Highlight, drop sticky notes, and draw freehand right on the page, then Save PDF to bake your marks into a clean, standard annotated PDF that opens anywhere and stays text-searchable, all inside PageHawk.

The whole set at once

Open a production like one document.

Point PageHawk at a folder, a data room export, or a case file and it lays the whole set out together, ranks it on what you are looking for, groups near-duplicate versions, and takes you to the page that matters. You are not opening files one at a time to find the one you need.

  • Rank a folder on a focus query and recency
  • Group near-duplicate versions so you review one, not nine
  • OCR scanned exhibits on-device so they are searchable
The math

One hour of your time pays for the year.

You are the litigation-support department. Every hour you spend hunting through a production is an hour you do not bill, or an hour you do not get back. PageHawk is priced against that, not against a consumer PDF app.

$149

a year for Pro

Less than a single billable hour at most rates. The whole year, on one Mac.

~2 hrs

saved on one review

Find the changed clause, the right exhibit, or the answer across a folder in minutes instead of an afternoon.

$249+

what the others charge

Draftable Legal and Acrobat Pro run higher and still upload your work. PageHawk does more of the review, on your device.

At a $350 realized rate, a single saved hour a month is more than $4,000 a year of your time. Pro is $149 a year.

Also for bankers & deal teams

The same wall around your client's documents, for the people who live in data rooms.

M&A advisors, private credit, and independent sponsors run the same gauntlet of enormous file sets, with material non-public information instead of privilege. PageHawk reads the data room, redlines the versions, and answers from the files, all on your Mac.

PageHawk for deal teams
On your device, by design

Your client's documents are handled right on your Mac.

PageHawk opens, reads, compares, OCRs, and answers questions about your files on your Mac. Every document you open is copied to your online library, encrypted on your Mac first, so your other devices can open it. A document also travels when you share or archive it, when the Signature Assistant's online check runs while you are signed in, and when you ask Claude through the Claude Desktop connector. Apple Intelligence runs Ask on your Mac; if you add an AI key, the text a feature needs goes to that provider.

On-device processing supports the "reasonable efforts" analysis under ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) and the guidance in ABA Formal Opinion 512 by reducing the likelihood of unauthorized disclosure. It does not replace your own professional judgment, your firm's policies, or client consent where required. PageHawk is a software tool, not legal advice, and is not certified or endorsed by the American Bar Association.

The honest answers

What attorneys ask first.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?
PageHawk opens, reads, compares, marks up, and answers questions about your files on your Mac, and comparison, redline, markup, and OCR run on your Mac. Every document you open is copied to your online library, encrypted on your Mac first, so your other devices can open it. A document also travels when you share or archive it, when the Signature Assistant's online check runs while you are signed in, and when you ask Claude through the Claude Desktop connector. Apple Intelligence runs Ask on your Mac; if you add an AI key, the text a feature needs goes to that provider.
How is this different from PDF Expert or Acrobat?
Those are good general readers. PageHawk is built for the review itself: a paragraph-aligned redline between versions with an exported redline PDF, real markup (highlight, sticky notes, and freehand drawing saved into a standard, text-searchable annotated PDF), whole-set ranking across a folder or production, near-duplicate grouping, and on-device document Q&A. It is a focused review tool, not a full document management system.
Does it work with scanned PDFs and exhibits?
Yes. Scanned documents with no text layer are OCR'd on-device so you can search and compare them. The result is cached per file, so it is a one-time cost.
Do I need procurement or IT to try it?
No. You download PageHawk free and run it on your own machine against your own documents, with nothing to sign in to evaluate it.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac on Apple Silicon running macOS 15 or later. PageHawk is a native Mac application.
