Contract analysis that runs entirely on your computer.
No uploads, no cloud, no document leaving the device. Redline analyses contracts locally; the only network calls are licence checks that carry no contract content.
Counterparty drafts are privileged, commercially sensitive, and often full of personal information. Redline is built so none of that has to leave the lawyer's computer to be analysed. Reading the document, segmenting clauses, scoring risk, extracting deadlines, and storing the result all happen on the device.
What on-device actually means.
- Nothing is uploaded. Contracts are read, scored, and stored on the device, never sent to a server.
- Encrypted at rest. Contracts are encrypted on disk, and the key never leaves the computer. With full-disk encryption on, the data is protected by both layers.
- Licence checks only. A one-time activation, plus a brief licence check each time the app opens, are the only routine network calls. Each sends a licence id and a device identifier, never a contract, and the app keeps working when you are offline for a while.
- On-device reasoning. Risk scoring uses deterministic checks plus a small language model that runs on the computer. There is no external API key, and the model does not call out to the web while scoring.
- You stay in control of verification. The only other online moments are the in-app SAFLII and Government Gazette buttons you tap to check a citation.
Everything runs on your machine.
Redline is a desktop application, not a web page pointed at a server. When you open a contract, the reading, the character recognition for scanned pages, the clause scoring, and the small language model that reasons about the watchlist clauses all run on your own computer. The statute reference it cites is shipped inside the application, so there is no lookup to an outside service while you work.
Because the analysis is local, it does not depend on a connection, a data centre, or a third party's uptime. It runs the same on a laptop on a plane as it does at your desk.
Native installers, silent deployment.
Redline ships as native installers for macOS on Apple Silicon and for Windows. The Windows MSI supports silent install for Group Policy, Intune, or SCCM, so IT can deploy it across a team without each lawyer pasting anything by hand. Every licence event is written to an append-only log in the user data directory, exportable as CSV for your firm's internal audit trail.
