"Dispute Buddy saves up to 15 hours of legal fees"
Katherine Baker, criminal attorney, Washington USA
.avif)
”My lawyer was so impressed when he saw what I gave him as it saved him hours or work. I was all kinds of happy when I realised that meant I paid less in legal.”
”I was dreading having to go back through years of messages. Dispute Buddy let me get the evidence I needed without reading a single one. I can't tell you how much that meant to me at a time I was so stressed.”
”One payment, and I've used it so many times now. When I think about what' wa at stake, legally, it's worth every single penny. I'd have paid it ten times over.”
”I needed my texts urgently for my lawyer the next day. I connected my phone tonight and had my report within an hour. I couldn't believe it was ready so fast.”
”I’m not a techie and this was so easy to use. This was a game changer for me as I don’t know how to save stuff onto my computer. It was so simple.”
”My sister-in-law used her Dispute Buddy extraction as a standing piece of evidence in her custody battle! What a difference it made!”
”I was drowning in screenshots, stress, and the fear of missing something critical. What you’ve built takes away so much of that emotional load at a time when people are already carrying more than enough.”
”This was the first time in years I felt brave enough to tackle this evidence. Thank you again!!”
”Nothing prepares you for what needs to be done and how little help you have, and the expertise you need to develop, to protect your child. Dispute Buddy is the help you’d never guess you need until you need it.”
”I am not a tech person at all. But I just followed the steps, connected my phone, and had the report ready to send to my lawyer the same day. I couldn't believe how straightforward it was.”
"You can tell this was built by someone who has actually been through it. It felt like it was made for exactly my situation. When I called the phone number, I spoke to a real person who guided me through. Thank you :)”
My ex-husband's a meth addict.
No one wants to say those words, and yet here we are.
I had to get a family court to make my children safe, and my lawyer said, Send me all your texts and messages so I can build your case.
I was like, What? Haven't you got some magic platform that sucks in all my texts and just organises the ones that you need?
That magic platform didn't exist, so that's exactly what we've built :)
I'm so proud of Dispute Buddy. It's exactly what I needed when I was frightened and stressed and worried.
Now you can hold your truth up to the world!

Dispute Buddy finds patterns in your messages that could indicate psychological abuse, control and threats. This is exactly what your lawyer will look for. So we've done it for them (saving you legal fees!).
Don't relive the messages to find the right ones, or spend your money paying a lawyer to do it. Dispute Buddy means you go to your lawyer feeling organised and empowered, with all the early work already done.
When you see these patterns all laid out, it's like the ground becomes solid under your feet. This paralegal-style work would add hours to your legal bill, but instead it's all included in Dispute Buddy. Yay for reduced bills!
This has to be the worst thing about scrolling and screenshotting: going down a rabbit hole, reading all of those traumatising messages. Dispute Buddy exports your full message history without you having to read a single one. Just a couple of clicks and you'll have the full message history and behavior analysis in one neat PDF. And you'll be calm and composed :)
Screenshots get lost in yor photo album. Long texts are cut in half. Dispute Buddy exports an authenticated full message history into a timestamped, lawyer-ready PDF, with behavioral analysis included. Lawyers helped us build Dispte Buddy, so we know the all love it!
If I'd had Dispute Buddy when I went to court, it would have saved me over $4,000 in legal costs. One payment. Use it forever. Dispute Buddy costs the same as one hour with a lawyer, and it does the work your lawyer would have to charge you for.
I built Dispute Buddy because it's exactly what I needed when I went to family court to make my children safe. When you use the app, you'll feel it's been built by a real person who understands where you are right now. That's why we have real people at the end of the phone, text or email to help you through :) We are all cheering you on!
Dispute Buddy works by gathering all the text messages from the contacts you enter, and then searching through them for patterns that might be important to a legal argument.
These are the steps Dispute Buddy goes through to help you:
1. Buy Dispute Buddy on our website www.disputebuddy.co
2. Download it to your computer
3. Install and launch Dispute Buddy on your computer
4. Connect your iPhone to your computer
5. Enter the names of the relevant contacts and the date range
6. Wait around 2 hours while Dispute Buddy searches and analyses the messages and chats
7. Select whether to export just text messages, or add the behaviour analysis report (this is the 'paralegal' work your lawyer will need to do)
8. Save the exported PDF
9. Keep Dispute Buddy open to export as many PDFs as you like with different contacts and date ranges
10. When you close Dispute Buddy, it removes all the message files from your computer, keeping your searches private forever.
11. You can reuse Dispute Buddy at any time. Just start from step 4.
Dispute Buddy is currently only compatible with iPhone. Android is coming soon!
Yes. You can download Dispute Buddy onto any computer. Remember it only works for iPhone and iPad at the moment.
Dispute Buddy must be downloaded onto your laptop or desktop computer.
Dispute Buddy exports messages FROM your iPhone or iPad TO your computer.
No. No one will know. You’ll export a PDF of your texts and save it on your computer. You can email it to whoever you like, or you can just keep it for yourself as a record of conversations.
Your privacy is our top priority. Our company values are kind and compassionate, and simple and clear.
Being kind and compassionate means that your data stays with you, not us.
Being simple and clear means we only do what we say we’re doing - help you download your text messages and chats, analyse them, and export that report to a PDF.
We don’t sell data.
We extract iPhone's texts + WhatsApps (nothing else on your phone) to a temporary folder on your desktop, then export the ones from selected contacts to a PDF.
The messages from your selected contacts are sent to our secure cloud to organise them into relevant messages for your PDF export. They are then deleted immediately. When you close the app, the system deletes the temporary backup files on your computer.
Absolutely. Dispute Buddy is very easy to use and works in just a few clicks. It is designed to guide you through a simple process step-by-step. And if you need help, jump on our LiveChatlink inside Dispute Buddy.
Yes. Inside Dispute Buddy you’ll see group chats in the list of your contacts. Just select the ones you want to export.
Yes, Dispute Buddy will export your messages in whatever language you sent them in. If you have problems, get in touch. We can help!
No. Dispute Buddy will only export exactly what you can see on your device at the time. We can’t recover deleted messages.
But if your phone says ‘this message has been deleted’ in the thread, our export will show that.
At the moment, Dispute Buddy can only export text messages and WhatsApp chats on iPhones and iPads. In the future, you’ll be able to export Facebook Messenger, Instagram messages, email, and other platforms.
You’ll be able to see any images, audio or video files in your message history. You can’t play the videos or voice notes, but you’ll see a thumbnail. The PDF export will look like this:
We’ve designed the app to use in the early stages of evidence gathering. That’s why we describe the PDF export as lawyer-friendly. Some of our customers have told us they’ve used Dispute Buddy in court, but that’s anecdotal, not ‘court-certified’.
Dispute Buddy is extremely thorough and focused on ensuring your privacy. This means it takes time to run through the full process properly.
Most of our users fall between 20 mins and 2 hours. It depends on factors like:
- How much storage you have on your phone
- The age of your iPhone and computer
As many as you like. It’s a one-off payment, then Dispute Buddy is yours for life.
Yes. You will need:
A) An Apple cable (cheap ones won’t work) to connect your iPhone to your computer
B) Around 5GB spare space on your laptop or desktop computer, or an external hard drive
C) Around 5GB storage space available on your iPhone
C) Up to 2 hours to leave the phone plugged into the computer
D) Make sure your computer is plugged into the power during this time
