Strata is a desktop tool built for litigation - Boolean search, OCR indexing, redaction detection, and ESI hit reports across any production format. No subscriptions. No per-document or per-case fees. No cloud, so your files stay local, and your client data stays secure.
Defendants bury documents deep in productions hoping you won't find them. Strata makes sure you do - without the enterprise price tag.
Full Boolean syntax - AND, OR, NOT, exact phrases, wildcards, fuzzy matching, and proximity operators like W/10. Same logic as enterprise review platforms.
Generate formatted ESI hit reports as Excel or PDF, broken down by term, document, and page number - ready for motion practice, Golden Rule Letters, Motions to Compel, or production to opposing counsel.
PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, EML, MSG, PPTX, TXT, and images via OCR. If it's in the production, Strata can search it.
Your co-working tool for depositions, Golden Rule Letters, Motions to Compel, and trial prep. Search by witness name or key terms, hand-pick responsive documents, and export a ZIP packet with a responsiveness log.
Immediately see what the other side is holding back. Strata scans the entire production for redacted documents - mapping black bars and PDF redaction annotations by page - so you can quickly assess compliance or violation of the Court's orders.
Runs entirely on your computer - no cloud uploads, no SaaS subscriptions, no per-document charges. Your data stays on your machine.
Upload any production in native format, index once, and search forever. No configuration, no IT involvement, no cloud.
Install Strata from the Microsoft Store and launch it like any other Windows app. No separate runtime setup or command-line steps.
Click Add Files or Add Folder to browse for documents. Strata accepts PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, EML, MSG, PPTX, TXT, and images. Add the whole production folder at once.
Hit Build Index. Strata reads every document and builds a searchable index. Takes a few minutes for large productions - only needs to happen once.
Enter your search terms and get instant results with clickable page links. Export hit reports for opposing counsel or build document packets for depositions directly from the app.
The same Boolean logic you'd use in Relativity or Concordance - no learning curve.
No account required. No subscription. Install Strata on Windows and keep your productions local. Everything stays on your machine.

I'm a paralegal at a busy plaintiff's side employment litigation firm. 30 active cases. Three trials in three months. I searched for a tool that could keep up and found the existing ones lacking or prohibitively expensive. So I built one. If you're in the litigation field, give it a try - and whether you have suggestions, bug reports, feature ideas, or just want to talk litigation, reach out. I'd love to hear from you.
