Mobile Capabilities

Six Core Mobile Systems

Built to work in the real world β€” at the crash scene, in the hospital, or anywhere with no signal.

Offline Evidence Capture

Capture photos, voice notes, GPS coordinates, and accident notes with zero internet connection. Everything stores locally in your device via IndexedDB and auto-syncs the moment you reconnect.

  • Photos and videos stored on-device
  • GPS coordinates captured offline
  • Voice note recording without connectivity
  • Auto-sync queue β€” syncs when back online
  • IndexedDB storage β€” survives app restarts

Real-Time GPS Tracking

High-accuracy GPS location capture for every piece of evidence. Geo-stamp your accident scene photos, track emergency responder locations, and share real-time coordinates with your attorney.

  • High-accuracy GPS (Β±3m)
  • Automatic geo-stamping on photos
  • Emergency location sharing
  • Coordinates stored with every record
  • Works with Geolocation API

Push Notifications

Stay informed on every case update β€” new attorney messages, settlement offers, missing documentation alerts, appointment reminders, and deadline warnings β€” even when the app is closed.

  • Missing documentation warnings
