Six rules, checked every time
These defaults ship tuned for freelancer contracts. You can toggle them, reword them, add your own, or delete the ones that don't apply to your work.
What this is not
Not legal advice. Redline flags what the language says and cites the exact sentence. It does not tell you whether to sign and does not comment on enforceability.
No scanned documents. The tool parses text-based files only — .txt, .pdf, .docx. Image-based or photographed pages are rejected because OCR errors would break the citations, and a citation you cannot trust is worse than no citation.
No prices, no testimonials on this page. The product is not priced yet. There are no customer quotes because there are no customers yet. What you see above is what the tool does.
71% of freelancers have experienced non-payment.
The clause that costs you is already in the contract. Redline finds the sentence and tells you what to say back.
