Privacy-First Architecture
Built specifically for Australian legal professionals with the highest standards of client confidentiality
100% Local AI Processing
Unlike cloud-based time tracking tools that send your data to third-party servers, MatterMaster processes everything locally on your device. Your screenshots, AI analysis, and sensitive client information never leave your computer.
What this means: No third-party AI companies see your data. No cloud storage of privileged communications. No risk of data breaches from external services.
How Local Processing Works
Screenshot Capture
Screenshots are taken every 2 minutes during active work and stored encrypted on your local drive. Multi-monitor support ensures all your work is captured.
Local AI Analysis
Our AI model runs entirely on your computer, analyzing screenshots to identify clients, matters, and activity types. No data is transmitted to external servers.
Encrypted Storage
All screenshots and AI processing results are stored with AES-256 encryption in your local database. You control retention periods and can delete data at any time.
Optional Cloud Sync
Only time entry summaries (without screenshots or detailed content) are synced to our cloud for team collaboration. You control exactly what gets shared.
