Case Study
"Your Honor, opposing counsel has presented a screenshot as evidence. But they cannot prove it hasn't been altered. I move to exclude."
Motion granted.
The paralegal had taken the screenshot three months earlier. A defamatory social media post. Clear evidence. She'd even used the firm's standard naming convention. Saved it in the case folder.
But when opposing counsel asked one simple question — "Can you prove this image hasn't been modified since capture?" — there was no answer.
No hash verification. No timestamp from a neutral source. No chain of custody. Just a PNG file that could have been edited in Photoshop five minutes before the hearing.
The evidence was excluded. The case settled for $340,000 less than it should have. Three months of discovery work, gone in 30 seconds.
The managing partner called a meeting that afternoon.
"This can never happen again."
The Solution
SwiftShot hashes every capture with SHA-256 at the moment you click. That hash proves the image hasn't been altered. Ever.
One click uploads to WORM storage — Write Once, Read Many. Even your IT admin can't delete or modify it. The evidence exists exactly as it was captured, with a complete chain of custody log.
When opposing counsel asks if you can prove authenticity, you hand them the verification report. Hash matches. Timestamp verified. Chain of custody complete.
The Difference
How It Works
Click the extension. Select your area. SHA-256 hash is computed instantly.
Add arrows, highlights, redactions. Each edit is logged in the audit trail.
One click to WORM storage. Immutable. Timestamped. Verified.
Time Savings
Before SwiftShot, a paralegal capturing web evidence would: take the screenshot, save it, rename it, log it in a spreadsheet, email it to the associate, who would then manually verify the URL was correct, print a copy for the file...
That's 12-15 minutes per capture. Multiply by 20 captures per case. That's 4-5 hours of paralegal time.
Click. Annotate. Preserve. Under 30 seconds. The hash, timestamp, URL, and chain of custody are automatic. Export to PDF with one click. Done.
At $150/hour paralegal rates, that's $600+ saved per case. The Firm plan pays for itself on day one.

AI Integration
⚡ Claude Code + SwiftShot CLISwiftShot ships with a full command-line interface. Pipe any captured document straight into Claude Code and get an instant legal analysis — key facts, dates, parties, contradictions, deposition angles — in seconds.
No copying. No pasting. No reformatting. The CLI extracts structured text from your screenshots via OCR and hands it directly to Claude, which reads it the way a senior associate would — except it takes 3 seconds instead of 3 hours.
Capture any contract page. Claude extracts parties, dates, obligations, and flags missing or unusual clauses — formatted for your case notes.
Feed a deposition transcript screenshot to Claude and get a ranked list of follow-up questions, contradictions with prior statements, and credibility angles.
Drop a chain of emails or a document set. Claude builds a chronological event timeline with citations back to each exhibit, ready to paste into your brief.
Capture filings from the other side. Claude identifies weak arguments, unsupported assertions, and cites the counterpoints you should raise in your response.
The SwiftShot CLI works with Claude Code (the terminal AI tool) and any other AI that accepts piped text. No subscription sharing. No data leaving your machine unless you choose Cloud Vault. The OCR and analysis run entirely on your hardware.
A paralegal captures 12 contract pages with SwiftShot, runs the CLI pipeline, and has a structured memo — parties, key dates, risk flags, depo angles — before opposing counsel finishes their morning coffee. The same task used to take half a day.
