About
Good tools shouldn't be a line item.
Most of what a practicing lawyer needs from software is embarrassingly simple: count days correctly, split a settlement, format a citation, catch an SSN before it gets filed. The legal software industry wraps those ten-line calculations in $89/month subscriptions, demo calls, and data-hungry platforms.
aidicia is the opposite bet: tiny, single-purpose tools, free forever, running entirely in your browser, with source code anyone can audit. Built for solo practitioners, small firms, legal aid lawyers, and students — anyone practicing law in the United States who would rather not pay rent on arithmetic.
Browser-only by design
Client data is privileged. The cleanest way to protect it is to never receive it. Our architecture makes the promise structural, not contractual.
Small and auditable
Each tool is a few hundred lines you can actually read. No frameworks-on-frameworks, no telemetry, no cookie banner because there are no cookies.
Corrected by lawyers
Limitation periods and counting rules are maintained in the open. When a state amends its code, anyone can open a pull request the same week.
Questions people ask
Is it really free?+
Yes. No trials, no premium tier, no email gate. The tools are small, static, and cheap to host — there is nothing to charge for.
Where does my data go?+
Nowhere. Every calculator runs entirely in your browser with client-side JavaScript. Settlement figures, client names, text you scan for redaction — none of it is transmitted to any server, logged, or stored (except the billable timer, which saves entries to your own browser's local storage).
Can I trust the numbers?+
Trust, but verify — the source code is public, so you (or your paranoid colleague) can read exactly how deadlines are counted and fees are computed. That said, these tools provide general information, not legal advice. Court rules and statutes change; always check current authority.
Can I contribute?+
Please do. Bug reports, corrections to state limitation periods, and new tool ideas are all welcome on GitHub. Corrections from practicing lawyers are especially valuable.
Who is behind this?+
aidicia is an independent open-source project, not a legal-tech vendor. There is no sales team because there is nothing for sale.
