For family law and custody review
Turn months of co-parenting messages into one clear record.
Available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
A record you can check
Important wording stays connected to the source you selected.
Search the record, open the relevant message in context, and review the retained-source status before you share an export. Text extraction is a starting point for review, not a substitute for checking the source.
- Searchable message text
- Dates, people, attachments, and transcripts
- Retained-source and integrity status
Prepare for the reviewer’s question
Confirm the people, date range, and conversation sources your lawyer or mediator actually needs. Preserve surrounding context rather than collecting only the single message that favors one side.
Build a reviewable record
Import the supported source, search dates and people, review the record against the retained original, and export the format requested by the recipient. Use the recipient’s approved secure channel for sensitive family material.
Legal and safety boundary
TextTrace is not legal or safety advice. Do not access another person’s account or device without authorization. If safety is at risk, contact local emergency services or an appropriate support organization. Ask qualified counsel about preservation, lawful collection, and filing requirements.
Questions, answered precisely
Frequently asked questions
Does TextTrace decide which messages are relevant?
No. Scope and relevance depend on the matter. Ask the lawyer or mediator receiving the material what period and context they need.
Does TextTrace bypass encrypted iPhone backups?
No. The Mac importer reads only unencrypted Finder or iTunes backups. TextTrace does not bypass backup encryption.
Does a checksum make an export legally admissible?
No. A SHA-256 checksum can help you check whether a file changed. It does not establish authenticity, completeness, admissibility, or legal sufficiency.
