Your documents stay local
The desktop application runs its own authenticated local engine. It does not require hosted document storage, analytics, or a remote-model fallback.
Local-first · open source · original documents stay untouched
Turn document collections into inspectable evidence.
Doc Evidence inventories, extracts, searches, and compares documents on your computer. Every result stays connected to its source file and page, while machine observations remain distinct from reviewed facts.

Original documents stay untouched
Collections are read-only. Content is identified by SHA-256, paths remain aliases, and generated artifacts live separately from source bytes.
Evidence keeps its context
Extracted text and candidate observations retain file and page provenance. Automated agreement never masquerades as human confirmation.
The actual workspace
Inspect the page and its extracted evidence together.
Browse a document collection, inspect the rendered original, and compare cached text representations without losing file or page context. This capture uses three generated demo documents—no private records.
One durable local library
A workspace for understanding document collections
Inventory and deduplicate
Track immutable content across one or more explicitly authorized folders without confusing renamed paths for new evidence.
Extract searchable text
Use bundled Poppler, Tesseract, and OCRmyPDF tools offline, with exact extractor versions and cache identity retained.
Compare representations
Inspect source pages beside native text and OCR output, collapse exact matches, and focus on numeric or textual disagreements.
Run durable jobs
Queue, cancel, retry, and recover extraction work while keeping attempts, warnings, timing, and resulting artifacts inspectable.
