Defensible disclosure, straight from a Slack export.
JSONstatus turns a raw Slack export into an organised, searchable, redacted PDF, Bates-stamped and backed by an immutable redaction log. Built for legal, eDiscovery, HR and subject access work, and it runs entirely on your own machine.
Three steps, one defensible document.
No cloud pipeline, no review platform to learn. Point it at an export and work through to a finished PDF.
Read the export
Point JSONstatus at a Slack export. It parses every channel, DM and thread, names the participants, resolves in-message @mentions and pulls in attachment names. Proven on exports of more than a million messages.
Review and redact
Search the whole export at once. Redact a name, a number, or a whole sender or channel, by hand or in bulk with Find & Redact, with whole-word, case and wildcard control. Everything is reversible until you export.
Produce the PDF
Export a Bates-stamped, watermarked PDF in three modes: a complete internal copy, a redacted copy for disclosure, and a working copy. Each ships with an immutable redaction log.
Made for evidence that has to hold up.
The features are chosen for one thing: producing chat disclosure that survives scrutiny.
Exact-position redaction
Redactions are burned in from the exact character positions in the source JSON, not drawn over searchable text. No OCR, and nothing recoverable underneath.
Immutable redaction log
Every disclosure ships with a grouped, court-ready log of what was redacted and why, generated from the database, not an editable spreadsheet.
Bates, watermarks, integrity
Sequential Bates numbering, configurable watermarks, an integrity hash and a provenance cover page on every export you produce.
Find & Redact across everything
Redact a name or number across the entire export in a single pass, with whole-word, case and wildcard control, and undo just as easily.
Reads Slack faithfully
Threads, reactions, edited messages, attachment names and resolved @mentions, so the conversation reads the way it actually happened.
Runs on your machine
No cloud, no upload, no account. The data never leaves your computer, which matters when it is privileged or personal.
One job, several professions.
Anywhere a Slack conversation has to be disclosed to someone, with the right parts taken out.
Legal disclosure & eDiscovery
Produce responsive Slack messages with their surrounding context, redacted and Bates-stamped, ready for the other side.
HR & workplace investigations
Review chat evidence in a readable form and redact third parties before sharing findings or bundles.
Subject access requests
Disclose one person's data and redact everyone else's, with a defensible record of what was withheld and why. Built with UK SAR work in mind.
In-house & IT / compliance
Handle an export in-house without sending privileged or personal data to a third-party platform.
Defensibility isn't a feature. It's the whole point.
Disclosure goes wrong when redactions can be lifted, logs can be edited, or text is reconstructed by guesswork. JSONstatus is built so none of that happens.
Burned in, not covered
Redacted text is removed from the output, not hidden behind a box that can be copied out.
Exact positions, no OCR
Character offsets come straight from the JSON, so what is redacted is precise and certain.
An immutable record
The redaction log is generated from the database, so it reflects exactly what was done.
Stays on your machine
Nothing is uploaded. Chain of custody never leaves your control.
