Why Writ exists
Legal work is full of tasks that don't need a lawyer's judgment. Stamping Bates numbers across a stack of PDFs. Counting deadline days around weekends and holidays. Merging exhibits. Drafting the first pass of a privilege log. None of it is hard. All of it is slow.
Writ started as a personal collection of scripts written to stop doing those tasks by hand, inside real case work. They held up well enough to be worth cleaning up and giving away.
What Writ is (and isn't)
It is a set of seven free tools you download and run on your own computer. Your files stay with you. There's no account, no subscription, and no server in the middle. The code is open source, so anyone — including your IT team — can read exactly what each tool does.
It isn't a product or a service, and there is no paid tier. A few of the tools use AI to draft descriptions; those send document text to an AI provider for that one job, and every tool page says plainly when that happens.
Open source & free
Every script is on GitHub under the MIT license. Read it, run it, adapt it to your firm's workflow. Bug reports and requests for new tools go through the repository.
