CaseKit is a free, open-source desktop application that helps you organise a consumer dispute from first complaint to court hearing — entirely on your own computer. Upload your documents, and CaseKit sorts them into evidence folders, extracts key dates into a chronology, and walks you through the procedural steps of bringing or defending a small claim. Nothing leaves your machine: no cloud accounts, no subscriptions, no data harvesting. Your case files stay in a plain folder on your hard drive that you control — you can open them, move them, or delete them at any time without asking anyone's permission. If you choose to use the optional AI features for drafting or merits analysis, you bring your own API key and the requests go directly from your device to the provider — CaseKit never sees your key or your data. CaseKit does not provide legal advice, all decisions are your own. Casekit just helps you to organise, as well as to be realistic and informed. Whether you're representing yourself or preparing to instruct a solicitor, CaseKit saves you the most expensive thing in litigation: time. Self-representing litigants can use the procedural roadmap, letter templates, and court form links to navigate the process without paying for guidance on steps they can handle alone. If you're planning to instruct a solicitor, arriving at your first meeting with an organised bundle — documents categorised, chronology built, key issues identified — means you spend that meeting on strategy rather than on your lawyer reading through a carrier bag of unsorted paperwork at £300 an hour. Either way, the AI merits assessment gives you a frank, objective, structured view of the strengths and weaknesses of your position before you commit to a course of action. CaseKit also includes something no other consumer legal tool offers: a Citation Auditor that verifies whether legal citations actually exist. Paste any AI-generated legal text, an opponent's skeleton argument, or your own draft, and CaseKit extracts every case law citation, then checks each one against BAILII and the National Archives — the two public legal databases that hold virtually every reported judgment in England and Wales. It tells you instantly whether each cited case is real, whether the name matches, and flags anything suspicious. Don't be that litigant. CaseKit is still under development, do not rely on this tool yet.
