Turn years of email into court-ready evidence

Pull years of email into one place. Find the messages that matter. Turn them into exhibits you can file. All of it on your own computer. Nothing is ever uploaded.

You've been putting this off. Not because you're lazy.

The evidence is in your inbox. Hundreds of emails. Maybe thousands. Spread across years. Custody, small claims, an eviction, a fight with your employer. The story is the same: the proof exists. It's just buried.

So you've tried. Copy-pasting into a document. Printing screenshots. It eats your evenings, and it still doesn't look like something a court would take seriously. Digging it all out feels impossible.

It isn't.

Years of email. One sitting.

How it works

1. Bring in your email. Connect a live account, or drop in a file you already downloaded (Gmail Takeout, .mbox, .eml, or .zip).

2. Narrow it down. Filter by date range, by the people involved, by direction (sent vs. received), or by keywords. CaseRelief searches your sent mail too, not just the inbox.

3. Review and select. Browse the matching emails and check off the ones that count.

4. Get your evidence. Export a clean evidence file (free) or build numbered, court-ready PDF exhibits (Pro).

What you get

A structured evidence fileFree

One file. Every email that matters. In order.

Every matching message, in one clean file. Dates, senders, and full reply threads preserved. Attachments read and included. Even scanned PDFs: if the attachment is a picture of paper, CaseRelief reads the text off the page.

Read it yourself. Print it. Hand it to a legal aid clinic. It's also built to work with AI tools: if you use ChatGPT, Claude, or anything similar, give it the file and ask questions in plain English.

"Find every time they agreed to something and then changed their story."

"When did they first mention wanting to relocate?"

"Show me where the tone shifted from cooperative to hostile."

"List every financial commitment they made in writing."

Like having a paralegal who's read everything and remembers all of it. Use any AI, or none at all. Nothing is built in, and nothing is required.

Court-ready PDF exhibitsPro

Numbered. Dated. Ready to file.

This is what you hand a judge. Organize your selected emails into binders. CaseRelief numbers each exhibit (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C). It builds a cover index. It formats every message as a clean printed page. It stamps each page with its source and the date you pulled it, so every exhibit traces straight back to the original email. The whole binder exports as a single PDF.

No more screenshots. No more copy-pasting into Word. No more wondering if the court will accept it.

For legal professionals

CaseRelief was built for people representing themselves. It holds up just as well in an office. The same file gives a paralegal or an attorney the complete email record, in order, in minutes. Good enough for a lawyer. Built for someone who couldn't afford one.

Your data stays yours

CaseRelief uploads nothing. The file it makes is yours, on your computer. Share it with a lawyer, an AI, or no one. Your case, your call. And because you filtered it, you share the thread that matters. Not your whole inbox.

◆Runs entirely on your own computer.

◆No account required. No sign-up. No tracking.

◆Works offline. Free never needs a connection. Pro checks its license occasionally at first; after a few months, it never needs the internet again.

Common questions

Do I need to use AI?

No. Nothing is built in, and nothing is required. The evidence file is complete on its own: organized, chronological, printable. AI is one thing you can do with it, not the point of it.

Will a court accept this?

Courts accept email evidence every day. What matters is that it's complete, legible, and traceable. CaseRelief keeps full reply chains, stamps every exhibit page with its source and extraction date, and numbers exhibits the way courts expect. Filing rules vary by court, so check your local requirements. CaseRelief organizes evidence; it doesn't give legal advice.

Can't I just print my emails myself?

You can. People do. It means printing or screenshotting each message one at a time, numbering pages by hand, and building an index in Word. That's the job that eats your evenings. CaseRelief exists to replace it.

Which email providers work?

Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, and any IMAP provider. You don't need a live account at all: drop in a Gmail Takeout .mbox, .eml files, or a .zip and work from that.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet. CaseRelief runs on Windows 10 and 11. Mac will follow if enough people ask.

Built by someone who needed it. I'm a self-represented litigant. I spent too many late nights scrolling through years of email, hunting for the messages that proved my point. Then more nights trying to turn them into something a court would accept. CaseRelief is the tool I wished existed. Now it does.
