Court-ready records
Court-ready records, without screenshot chaos.
High-conflict parenting communication often becomes evidence. But screenshots, scattered files and long message chains can be hard to organise, search and present. Modus generates structured, text-native records by date range — a PDF you can search, not a stack of scanned screenshots.
Important
Modus does not guarantee that a document will be accepted by a court or tribunal. Court requirements vary by jurisdiction and matter type. Modus exports are designed to support legal review, affidavit preparation, annexures, chronologies and practical record keeping. Users should obtain legal advice about what to file, how to file it and whether material is relevant or admissible.

Searchable PDF · Paginated · Attachment index
A structured report, not a folder of screenshots.
A Modus export includes:
- Cover page with parties, children recorded in settings and matter type
- Date range, timezone and communication restriction summary
- Total message count and messages by sender
- Warning, possible breach and manual flag summaries
- Chronological message history with text labels
- Attachment index with IDs, uploaders and file hashes
- Export ID, verification hash and generation details
- Page numbering throughout
The PDF itself is text, not an image of a screen — every page is searchable and selectable, and it prints cleanly in black and white.
Messages in order, with context.
Each message in the chronology shows the date, time, sender, topic, child tag, message body, any warning or flag labels, and attachment references.

Visible in colour and black and white.
Exports do not rely on colour alone. Every warning and flag carries a clear text label, with borders and print-safe shading.
| Record type | Text marker | Visual treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Tone warning shown | WARNING SHOWN | Light shade |
| Sent after warning | SENT AFTER WARNING | Dotted border |
| Possible breach | POSSIBLE BREACH | Bold border |
| Manual flag | MANUALLY FLAGGED | Side marker |
| Frequency issue | FREQUENCY RULE | Label and side marker |
| Safety concern | SAFETY CONCERN | Strong border and bold label |
A lighter way to handle photos and documents.
Large image-heavy PDFs can become difficult to open, email, print or file. Modus defaults to a clean attachment index rather than embedding every photo and document in the main PDF — with optional attachment bundles where needed.
