Show HN: Legal Eyes – Turn casual text into legalese with one click
Hey HN,
I built a Chrome extension called *Legal Eyes* that rewrites your casual messages into sharp, professional legal language.
Use cases:
- Freelancers chasing late invoices
- Founders dealing with vague contract terms
- Anyone trying to sound more serious or formal (without being a lawyer)
No prompt engineering, no copy-pasting — it sits in your browser, and converts selected text with a click. I built it using React, Supabase (for auth and usage tracking), OpenAI (for the rewriting), and deployed via Vercel.
I launched this to help the little guys when they need a stronger voice. I hope this goes out into the world and helps someone :)
Would love your feedback on:
- Features you'd expect in v2
- Thoughts on monetizing vs keeping it free
- Weird or niche use cases I haven’t thought of
You can try it here (free version available):

Thanks! Happy to answer anything.
- arcza 1y agoHi. Why is a UK website (assuming based on the domain) pricing in USD for a UK viewer? Thanks.
- rco8786 1y agoInteresting. Presumably UK legalese would also differ significantly from US legalese
- ForgedLabsJames 1y agoHi there, yes, it would, but the app is region aware, so you will always get the correct legealese for your region :)
- arcza 1y agoOne further point. In the UK - there's an active campaign to use clear plain English in contracts. I don't think making things harder to understand is a good idea, but not saying you're doing this either.
- ForgedLabsJames 1y agoyeah this is a very important point, this is not build to make legally binding contracts. Its built more for the independant trader who needs to sound more legal that casual. For example if a larger comapny is not paying a freelancers invoice, this is a great way to come off as proffesional but also serious about getting paid
