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.
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.
v4 · prior
v5 · current
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.
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. AI is optional and off by default, so nothing is uploaded. Turn it on and you choose the data path: a local on-device model, or your own cloud key.
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. No Acrobat, no upload.
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
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.
per seat, per year
Less than a single billable hour at most rates. The whole year, on one Mac, nothing uploaded.
saved on one review
Find the changed clause, the right exhibit, or the answer across a folder in minutes instead of an afternoon.
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. The license is $179.
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.
Your client's documents never leave your Mac.
PageHawk opens, reads, compares, OCRs, and answers questions about your files entirely on your machine. There is no upload, no document stored on a server, and no file content sent to a cloud AI model. That keeps your work product where it belongs and reduces the surface area for inadvertent disclosure.
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.
