Case Pulse

Your case keeps moving. So does the record.

Every docket entry and every message sent to the case’s CaseMail address lands on one line. A new event comes in, gets read, gets connected to the case, and you hear about it.

What CaseMagic does when a filing lands.

Five steps, in order, every time. Each one is something the product does today. It reads and quotes the court; it does not give legal advice.

    DETECT

    The scheduled re-check finds an entry that was not there last time.

    It keeps the court’s own words and the link to the filing, where the court publishes one.

    TYPE  ORDER
    TEXT  “Order granting extension…”

One matter

Three systems. One case record.

Watch, CaseMail and the Case Passport are parts of the same matter, so the case gets easier to follow the longer it runs.

WATCH Active

Hear about every new filing.

CaseMagic re-reads your docket about every 6 hours, day and night. It is not real time, and every result says when it was read.

Why not free alerts?

A free alert tells you something moved. Then it is your job.

CourtListener’s RECAP alerts are free, and for one case they may be all you need. They send you the raw entry, and the date buried in it is yours to catch. A missed date is the one mistake a case does not forgive, so that is what CaseMagic is built around.

Free to check. Your AI watches it for you.

Checking a case is free and needs no account. Watching it is what you pay for: every date the court sets on your docket goes into Google Calendar or Outlook in one click, and CaseMagic emails you 7, 3 and 1 days before it. A 7-day free trial comes first.

The 7-day trial takes a card and charges $0 today; nothing is billed until it ends. After that, the plan you chose is billed monthly until you cancel, and cancelling before the trial ends costs nothing. The payment page is run by Stripe. Compare the three plans in detail.

Questions

Questions people ask first

Where does the case information come from?
From a public federal court source. Every fact CaseMagic shows is read from the court record, not inferred, and where the court publishes a filing the result links to it.
How current is it?
A free check reads the court source and then serves the same answer for 15 minutes. A watched case is re-checked about every 6 hours. Nothing here is real time, and every result carries the time it was last checked.
Which courts are covered?
United States federal district courts — all 94 districts, including the territorial district courts. State, county and municipal courts are not supported yet.
Does it work with my AI assistant?
ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Gemini all take CaseMagic at one address (in Gemini, as a custom app on the web). How far each one has been tested is on the integrations page, assistant by assistant.
What does it cost, and what happens after the trial?
Checking a case is free. Watching one starts with a 7-day trial that takes a card and charges $0 today, and nothing until it ends; then the plan you chose is billed monthly until you cancel. Stripe runs the payment page.
Is CaseMagic a law firm?
No. CaseMagic reports what a court source says and helps you follow it. It does not provide legal representation or legal advice.
