In simple English

This tool helps you organize medical and insurance records into a timeline. It runs entirely on your own computer, so your data stays private. You can import up to thirty PDF files at once and extract text using built-in optical character recognition. It suggests chronology entries automatically, but you must check every entry by hand. The software is free to download and use.

What it is

A local-first medical chronology prototype written in Rust that extracts timelines from PDFs and opens a browser interface for human review. It stores case data locally in JSON format without requiring cloud services.

What it is good for

Lawyers, researchers, or solo builders who need to organize large batches of medical or insurance PDF documents into source-linked timelines without sending sensitive data to cloud artificial intelligence services.

Good
  • Runs completely offline on your computer without cloud artificial intelligence.
  • Includes synthetic demonstration records so you can test it immediately.
  • Exports your completed chronologies to comma-separated values or Markdown files.
Watch for
  • Requires technical steps to install system dependencies like Tesseract and Poppler if building from source.
  • Storage is currently unencrypted plaintext, so it lacks built-in data security.
  • This is an early prototype and is not validated for legal or medical production use.
