Overview
It is for anyone handed a contract, policy or offer to sign. Leases, loans, medical consents, car deals, insurance, service agreements, employment terms. The moment it matters is not later at your kitchen table; it is while you are sitting in their office with a pen in your hand and someone waiting for you to sign. Use it in their office, before you sign, not after.
Users can upload a PDF or, using the built-in camera, photograph each page of a physical document, and several pages can be captured and reviewed together as one continuous document. Select a category, start the review, and a comprehensive report appears: a plain-language summary, a Risk Score from 0 to 100, a Verdict, and Findings, with every page submitted shown as a thumbnail, and with the tokens used and the cost of the review set out as large figures at the top that travel with the exported PDF.
Long documents are priced before you commit, so a forty-page lease never becomes a surprise charge. The whole document is read rather than sampled, which is the point of the tool: the terms that cost you money are rarely in the paragraph anyone reads aloud.
Reviews are powered by Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5. A standard contract or agreement costs about ten to twenty-five cents in API usage, and a lengthy multi-page document up to about fifty cents, with no subscription required. You pay Anthropic directly, with no markup and no fee to Iacoletti Software, on a standard pay-per-use account. Five dollars in credit covers roughly ten to fifty reviews depending on file size and complexity.
The underlying models read text in 100+ languages, so a document in any of them can be analyzed and the report itself can be read in your own language, and full multilingual support means the app runs in English, German, or any language your browser displays.
The tool prioritizes user privacy, with none of the user's data or API credentials accessed, held, or transmitted by the tool, and all data encrypted in transit so that it travels only between the user's browser and Anthropic. There is no account to create and nothing to install; it runs entirely in your browser.

Requires your own API key. An Anthropic key is required, and generation is billed by Anthropic directly to your account.

What's The Catch Claude v5.2 tells you what you would be signing before you sign it. Free with your Anthropic API key. Upload a contract, lease, or agreement, or photograph it page by page, and you get a plain-language summary, a 0 to 100 risk score, and every red flag, missing protection, and negotiable term listed separately. Every page you submit appears in the report as a thumbnail. Findings, risk score, tokens, and cost are set out as large figures at the top of the report and travel with the exported PDF. Full multilingual support means the app runs in English, German, or any language your browser displays, with a smooth, stable experience from start to finish. The underlying models read text in 100+ languages, so a document in any of them can be analyzed and the report itself can be read in your own language. Reviews run on Claude Sonnet 5, and a typical review costs about 10 cents in API usage with no subscription required, covering legal, financial, medical, and business documents. It runs entirely in your browser with no install needed. Disclaimer: Not legal, medical, or financial advice. Always consult a licensed professional.
