Document Desk
A private, evidence-grounded workspace for understanding documents, comparing revisions, and keeping important obligations attached to the source.
Evidence stays on the page · Interpretation stays beneath it
“Payment is due within thirty days.” Quote from the source document
Then, if you ask
Review important items
From document to decision-ready brief.
Import, ground, compare, and review—without replacing the original record.
Import the document
Import a text-based PDF and keep the document identity attached to the work.
Extract grounded evidence
Organize page-aware text, source quotes, and structured claims.
Compare what changed
See additions, removals, changed values, unchanged meaning, and possible extraction differences.
Review what matters
Use a focused PCC review to identify obligations, deadlines, fees, and risks without changing the underlying evidence.
Every important answer should point back to the page.
Citations stay visible. Quotes stay attached. The source remains the record.
Document Desk keeps document name, page number, source quote, evidence identity, clause or topic identity, and review status with the work you are looking at.
The evidence remains the record. Automated interpretation is shown separately so you can inspect the source before trusting the conclusion.
- Document name stays attached to each claim and comparison row.
- Page numbers and source quotes remain inspectable, not buried.
- Evidence and clause identities keep related items paired over revisions.
- Review status is labeled so interpretation is never mistaken for the source.
Compare revisions without losing clause identity.
Structured brief-to-brief comparison—not a black-box rewrite of the contract.
Document Desk pairs claims by identity so numbers and rights stay on the correct legal slot. It is built to surface change, not invent legal conclusions.
Dates stay with dates
Effective dates stay paired with effective dates across baseline and revision.
Roles stay distinct
Provider and client obligations stay distinct instead of collapsing into one mixed claim.
Termination types stay separate
Termination notice periods are not merged with unrelated termination rights.
Noise is labeled
Wording-only changes can be separated from substantive changes. Extraction differences are surfaced instead of silently presented as facts.
This is not perfect legal analysis. It is a grounded way to see what moved, what stayed, and what still needs a human read.
A focused review layer, when Apple Private Cloud Compute is available.
Interpretation beneath evidence—not a replacement for it.
Document Desk can send only selected, relevant grounded excerpts to Apple Private Cloud Compute for a concise review of important obligations, deadlines, fees, and risks.
- User-triggered. Review runs only when you ask—not in the background by default.
- Selected excerpts only. Full unrelated documents are not sent. Only the grounded claims chosen for the request.
- Source evidence unchanged. Citations, quotes, pages, and clause identities stay as they were.
- Interpretation beneath evidence. PCC output appears as a separate layer under the grounded brief or comparison.
- Clear unavailable state. When Private Cloud Compute cannot be used, Document Desk fails clearly and leaves the grounded result alone.
Availability depends on device, OS, and Apple’s Private Cloud Compute path. Document Desk does not claim the review layer works on every device.
Focused by design.
Separate products. Separate jobs. No unrestricted cross-product access by default.
Document Desk
Owns documents, citations, obligations, comparisons, and grounded briefs.
Nook
Owns durable personal records and sensitive vault data.
LifeCapture
Owns memories, photos, journals, and timeline context.
These products remain separate. Document Desk is not generic AI chat, not a universal Hearth search surface, and does not invent legal conclusions or overwrite source evidence.
Know what changed before you act.
Understand what your documents say, what changed, and what deserves attention—without losing the evidence.
