Cloud uploads create a privacy question
NDA drafts, supplier terms, employment agreements, and cross-border contracts often contain names, numbers, prices, and negotiation positions.
Private AI contract review and redaction before you sign.
Private AI contract review before you sign.
A local-first macOS tool for position-aware contract review, sensitive-information redaction, and real Word comments and revisions. Bring your own model API key, keep documents on your Mac, and subscribe only after the trial proves useful.
Contracts stay local
BYO model API key
Cross-border ready
Signed license codes
No trial signup
Most contract AI asks for the one thing you cannot give it: the contract.
Generic summaries miss your side
Useful review depends on who you are, what you care about, and which clauses shift risk against you.
Copy-paste breaks the real work
A contract review that cannot preserve Word comments, revisions, and redacted output is not ready for the signing workflow.
A private review system that grows with your playbook.
Before Signing runs the document workflow locally, lets you use your own AI provider directly from the desktop app, and turns repeated review choices into a contract-review style that fits your business.
What reaches our servers
The short version: your contracts do not. Purchases are processed by Paddle, license emails are sent by Resend, and subscription status is checked with Paddle when the app refreshes entitlement.
01
No contract upload endpoint exists in this site.
02
The app sends model requests directly from the user's machine when the user supplies an API key.
03
License codes are Ed25519-signed server-side; the private key never ships to the client.
04
Paddle remains the source of truth for subscription status.
Built for the before-signing moment
HelpMulti-country & cross-border
Jurisdiction-aware review and redaction across CN, US, UK, JP, KR and more, plus cross-border identifiers like IBAN and SWIFT.
You control the cost
Bring your own model key and pay your provider directly. No per-seat AI markup from us.
Redaction runs fully offline
Mask names, IDs, bank details and addresses with no API key and no internet - entirely on your Mac.
Pluggable by design
Switch between cloud providers (DeepSeek, OpenAI, Claude, Qwen...) or run fully local with Ollama; pick a model per contract language.
Works on day one, learns your style
Start reviewing immediately; repeated edits and decisions become a private review style over time.
Position-aware + real Word output
Review from your side of the deal and export real Word comments, tracked changes, and redacted files.

FAQ
Do I need a credit card for the trial?
No. The desktop app includes a 3-day local trial without registration or a card.
Does Before Signing store my contracts?
No. The marketing site and licensing backend do not accept contract uploads. Documents stay in the desktop app.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a review and drafting-assistance tool. A qualified professional should review important outputs.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Subscription management, invoices, and cancellation are handled in Paddle's customer portal.
