Penwright
For attorneys, paralegals & in-house counsel

Memo dictation that respects privilege.

Client-matter notes, deposition prep, brief sections, witness-prep summaries, all dictated on-device. Attorney-client privilege survives the workflow because nothing leaves the Mac.

Why Penwright fits

Four things that matter for your role.

Privilege preserved by architecture

Local-first cleanup means there's no third-party processor to add to your privilege log. The model lives on your Mac.

    Cloud option, explicit only

    For non-privileged drafting you can opt into Claude or OpenAI for a session, with a visible CLOUD badge. Privacy Mode in Settings hard-blocks the option for matters that need it.

      Citation accuracy

      Custom dictionary for case names, statute references (e.g. § 312i BGB), and judge names. Penwright gets them right every time.

        GDPR-friendly by being local

        On-device cleanup means there's no cross-border data transfer to disclose. Useful for European firms with GDPR-sensitive matters.

          GDPR-friendly by being local in Penwright for Mac

          The small stuff that makes voice actually usable.

          Dictionary, snippets, multilingual, all local.

          Personal dictionary

          Add your team's vocabulary once. Penwright gets it right every time after that, codenames, last names, library names, internal acronyms.

          Add: 'Kestrel' • Replace: 'Kestral' with 'Kestrel'

          Voice snippets

          Trigger a saved block of text by saying a phrase. The expanded version comes out polished, and the variables stay yours to fill.

          'sig' → 'Best, Daniel, Penwright founder'

          99 languages

          Whisper transcribes 99 languages, auto-detected while you speak. English and German get first-class cleanup. All of it runs on your Mac.

          Privacy

          Privacy by architecture, not by policy.

          Penwright does not need your spoken content to provide the product. Audio, transcripts and local indexes stay on your Mac, and you can verify the network traffic yourself.

          Content stays on your Mac

          Dictation, transcripts, meeting audio and local indexes are processed and stored on your machine.

          Data minimisation by default

          Penwright's servers handle accounts, licences and billing, not the audio or transcripts you create on your Mac.

          Included at launch

          No audio or text upload endpoint

          The Penwright API has no route for your dictation audio or transcripts. A server cannot leak content it never receives.

          Verify every claim

          Use any network monitor you trust. The security page documents the traffic you should, and should not, see.

          A day on Penwright

          Three moments where it pays for itself

          • 01

            Right after the deposition

            Speak the summary memo on the elevator down. Penwright files it into your matter folder before you're back at your desk.

          • 02

            Drafting boilerplate sections

            Standard recital paragraphs, jurisdiction clauses, signature blocks. Dictate once, save to snippets, expand on demand.

          • 03

            Witness-prep summary

            Six pages of prep notes turned into a one-page meeting briefing, without a single character touching a cloud.
