Beady

“Is that in the scope?”

Catch scope creep before it costs you.

Paste the contract once. Drop in what a client asks. Beady says whether it is covered, shows the clause, and drafts your reply.

Drag a message onto the board

Three moves, and the first one only once.

  1. Paste the signed scope

    You approve the clauses Beady pulls out before anything is checked against them.

  2. Drop in what they asked for

    An email, a screenshot, a PDF or a note from a call. It lands on that client's board.

  3. Read it, then send the reply

    Covered, extra or needs your call, each with the clause behind it. The reply is one more click.

It runs on your Mac, with the assistant you already have.

Questions

Does it read PDFs or Word files?

Not yet. Paste the contract's text instead. Screenshots and photos of client messages are read.

Is there a Windows or web version?

No. It is a Mac app, for macOS 13 or later.

Do I need an API key?

No, and there is nowhere to put one. It uses Claude Code or Codex on your Mac, or gives you a prompt to paste.

Does my contract leave my Mac?

The file never does. To read it, the words go to the model you chose, and nowhere else.

Will it read my email without asking?

No. The inbox check is off until you turn it on, it is read only, and it needs Claude Code with Gmail connected.

What if it gets a verdict wrong?

Disagree with it. Your call is what every screen shows from then on.

Will it stay free?

Yes. Any change would only ever apply to a version you choose to install.
