HERESAI exists for the person sitting on the floor at midnight, surrounded by screenshots, school emails, and court papers, trying to turn a painful history into something a judge can understand.
In many family courts, most people show up without a lawyer — not by choice, but because representation costs more than they have. They're expected to follow procedure, meet deadlines, and present evidence like professionals, often while parenting, working, and healing at the same time.
For survivors of domestic violence, it's harder still. The person across the courtroom may know their passwords. The record that proves the pattern lives on a phone that may not be safe. And the systems built to help are rarely built around how trauma actually affects memory, focus, and time.
Organization shouldn't be the thing that decides a custody case. But too often it is. HERESAI was built to close that gap.
HERESAI is one private place to build a case file: log incidents while details are fresh, track parenting time, store evidence in an encrypted vault with chain-of-custody records, build a chronological timeline, and generate court-ready reports. It works with the advocates and attorneys who support you — while you keep control of your own records.
It's not a buzzword; it's design decisions. A quick-exit button on every screen. Original photos preserved for evidence, with location data stripped from copies you share. No data selling, ever. Plain language instead of legalese. Structured logging that works even on days when focus doesn't. Calm, factual guidance instead of fear.
HERESAI was founded by Danielle Bethea and built alongside the lived experience of people who have navigated family court. The guides in our Resource Center are free to everyone, whether or not you ever use the app.
