Show HN: Legal Eyes – Turn casual text into legalese with one click

5 ForgedLabsJames 5 6/3/2025, 3:44:47 PM legaleyes.uk ↗
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): [https://legaleyes.uk](https://legaleyes.uk)

Thanks! Happy to answer anything.

One 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.

yeah 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

Hi. Why is a UK website (assuming based on the domain) pricing in USD for a UK viewer? Thanks.

Interesting. Presumably UK legalese would also differ significantly from US legalese

Hi there, yes, it would, but the app is region aware, so you will always get the correct legealese for your region :)
