Case Linker
Hyperlink court documents
Free · In‑App Purchases
Write in your outline while you present: the follow-up question, what the witness just said. The room sees the exhibit and never that pane.
Case Linker turns a folder of PDFs into a linked case file: briefs that jump to their exhibits, an outline that jumps to the record, and a courtesy copy a judge can navigate.
Built by a trial attorney, for trial attorneys.
HYPERLINK A BRIEF AUTOMATICALLY
Point Case Linker at a brief and it finds every exhibit citation, every court-decision cite with its pinpoint page, and every table-of-contents entry, wiring each to the right page — an afternoon of a paralegal’s work.
Then read the Audit Report: every link it made, every cite it skipped, and why — so you approve the work rather than trust it.
ORGANIZE BY ISSUE, NOT BY DOCUMENT
Name the issues you are litigating — scienter, causation, damages — and tag highlights and bookmarks with them as you read. Case Linker builds your outline under those headings instead of document by document, and issue groups become your main headings.
Every entry carries your note, the quoted passage, and a citation linking back to the exact page. Citations read the way a brief cites — "Ex. 12 at 45" — using the exhibit number stamped on the document and the page printed on the page, not its position in the PDF.
SEARCH THE WHOLE RECORD
Search a folder and every match is listed with how often the word appears in it, so you know which deposition to open first. Open one and the find bar comes with you, every hit in yellow.
A SCAN BECOMES A DOCUMENT
Choose Recognize Text on a scanned exhibit or a folder. The words are written INTO the PDF, so you can search it, highlight it, quote it into an outline — and the copy you export is searchable too.
WORK FROM THE SAME RECORD AS CO-COUNSEL
Hand another Case Linker user your subject issues — headings alone, nothing from the record. Or send your work product: the passages you highlighted, the notes on them, and the links tying a brief to its exhibits.
Neither file holds your documents — only where your marks sit inside them — so the record never leaves your iPad. To send the documents, export a folder with its links intact, or one combined PDF whose citations still jump in Preview, Acrobat and e-filing systems.
Before anything is imported, every document is fingerprinted against their copy. Where they match, your marks land on the exact pages you made them. Where they do not, they are named and held back rather than placed on a guess — a citation that opens the wrong page is worse than none, because nothing about it looks wrong.
BATES AND EXHIBIT STAMPING
Bates-number a production, or run an exhibit series — 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C — across many files, with sub-numbering for multi-part exhibits. Stamped copies keep their links.
PRESENTER MODE
Put an exhibit on the courtroom display while your outline stays with you. Tap an entry to change what the room sees, and write in the outline as you go — the follow-up question, what the witness just said, on a pane the room never sees. Laser pointer, magnifier, highlighter, blackout, and your saved highlights shown to the room only if you ask.
WRITE, THEN LINK
A full editor: block quotes, footnotes, case captions, signature blocks, California pleading-paper line numbers, automatic Tables of Contents and Authorities.
YOUR CASE FILES STAY ON YOUR IPAD
Case Linker collects nothing. Your documents, notes and work never leave this iPad. Privilege is not something to take chances with.
PRICING
Every feature is free for 14 days, no payment method. After that, Case Linker Pro is $50 per month or $500 per year, and one subscription covers both the Mac and iPad apps. You can export your files at any time, subscribed or not, so your work is never locked away.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your App Store settings.

Ratings & Reviews

Write in your outline while you present — and every document now has a permanent identity.
WRITE WHILE YOU PRESENT
Dock an outline beside the exhibit and a Type button appears next to it. Switch it on and you can add lines while you are still presenting: the follow-up question that occurs to you while the witness is answering, or what they just said in their own words. The audience display never shows this pane.
• Tap Return for the next line, or the plus button beside any line to start one beneath it
• A size slider sets how large the outline reads — courtroom lighting and a lectern's distance are not the conditions it was written under
• Show ▸ What I've Typed Here bands the lines you added this session, so you can find them again in a long outline
• Long-press the plus button beside a line you wrote to delete it
• Prepared questions cannot be altered at the lectern. You add; you do not rewrite. Everything is editable in the document editor when you leave Presenter Mode
• What you write is saved as you go, and again whenever you leave the pane, switch outlines, or close the app
DOCUMENTS KNOW WHICH ONE THEY ARE
Every case folder has an "Ex. 6.pdf". Duplicate a folder for a second witness and you have two of every name. Until now Case Linker found a document by its name, so those copies could be confused with each other.
From this version each document carries a permanent identity, assigned when it enters your library and kept for life. Your highlights, bookmarks and links point at that.
• Rename a file, rename its folder, move it, or duplicate the whole case — nothing can put a mark on the wrong document
• Marks made in a copy stay in the copy; marks in the original stay in the original
• Deleting a document takes only its own marks with it
The first time you open 1.4 your existing marks and links are converted, once, and you are told what happened. A backup is taken first — Settings can restore it, save a copy to Files, or remove it. Where two documents share a name and the choice is genuinely yours, nothing is guessed: Settings ▸ Links Needing Attention shows them for you to accept or leave alone.
ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Your own saved highlights are always visible in your preview. The switch beside them governs what the ROOM sees, not what you see
• Headings in the presenter outline carry their numbering, matching the Mac
• Citation lines stay live links while Type is on, so the outline keeps driving the audience display
• The outline follows the document's own page colours instead of the iPad's appearance
• Bookmarks are never baked into an exported PDF. A pin marks where you were reading; it is not for opposing counsel
• An exported folder keeps its name — no more "Pineapplecase_AODE1372"
• Outlines count exhibits properly: Exhibit 2 comes before Exhibit 10
• The library list counts each document's own marks
• The user guide gains two chapters on all of this
