A diary of dates, piles of files, client calls, and one missed date means trouble. Advocate Diary shows today's hearings by court, and the cases whose next date wasn't updated. You can ask your diary anything, such as the hearings from today through the next 7 days, by court. After the hearing, just say what happened: the next date, task and deadline are filled in, and the client gets the date on WhatsApp. The limitation calculator gives you the last date and adds it as a deadline. Paste the cause list and your cases are found automatically. It works in 10 Indian languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Marathi and Gujarati, and you can find any case, client or case number instantly. It is free for the first 3 months.

Who it's for
A solo advocate in a district court
Wants to never miss a next date.
“A case slipped because the next date was never written in the diary.”
A small chamber with a junior and a clerk
Wants to share one diary and one task list.
“My junior wrote the date in his own diary and I never saw it.”
An advocate with many per-appearance clients
Wants to count every fee and tell clients their dates.
“Clients call to ask the next date, and per-appearance fees are never fully counted.”
How it works
1. Add your cases
Enter court, case number, parties and next date, or paste the court's cause list. Your case numbers are found and you confirm the next dates.
2. Speak after each hearing
Say what happened, such as "adjourned to 12 Jan, reply to be filed". The next date and tasks are filled in, you check them, and the client can get the date on WhatsApp.
3. Open Today each morning
See today's and tomorrow's hearings grouped by court, cases with no next date, deadlines this week and fees due.
What you get
Cause list by court
Today's and tomorrow's hearings grouped by court, plus cases whose next date is missing.
Update after hearing
Speak one sentence; the next date, purpose and tasks are filled in for you to confirm.
Cause-list import
Paste a cause list or upload the court's PDF or a photo; your cases are found.
Limitation calculator
19 common periods; adds certified-copy time, skips a Sunday last day, saves the deadline.
Ask your diary
Ask "Kal kaun se case hain?" and get the answer from your own cases.
Documents and drafts
Orders read and summarised; first drafts of notices and applications, marked for your review.
Fees and receipts
Fixed or per-appearance fees, numbered receipts with the amount in words.
Team and 10 languages
Juniors and clerks log in to the same diary; use it in Hindi, English and 8 more languages.

Do I need a card?
No. You sign up with your mobile number and a one-time code (OTP). No card or payment details.
