Document management built for immigration consultants
Every case is a mountain of passports, permits, letters and forms. Each with its own deadline. Filenest reads every file with local AI, files it under the right client, and keeps the checklist and key dates in front of you.
Explore this workflowDocument management that respects privilege
Contracts, court letters, evidence, IDs. Matter files grow fast. Filenest reads, classifies and files each document under the right client, while everything stays on your machine.
Explore this workflowTax-season paper, organized by local AI
Receipts, invoices, bank statements, notices. Every client brings a shoebox. Filenest reads each document, extracts amounts and dates, and files it under the right client automatically.
Explore this workflowYour practice deserves better tools.
Stop drowning in folders.
Your clients send dozens of files — passports, permits, leases, letters. Finding the right one means opening folder after folder. Filenest reads every document and surfaces exactly what you need in under 2 seconds.
You want AI. Not a data breach.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude — useful, but uploading a client's passport or medical record to a cloud service is a liability you can't afford. Filenest runs AI entirely on your machine. Nothing leaves. Ever.
Stop copy-pasting from documents.
Name, date, permit number, expiry — you've typed it all by hand a hundred times. Filenest reads the document and pulls every field automatically. You review, you approve. Done.
Just ask about your files.
"When does James's permit expire?" Instead of opening five documents to find one answer, ask Filenest. It reads your files locally and answers immediately — with the source cited.
Templates for every profession.
Immigration consultant, lawyer, accountant, real estate agent, study-abroad advisor, insurance broker — Filenest ships with templates tailored to your workflow. The right required documents, the right fields, ready from day one. And it's just as at home organizing your own visa, tax, and school papers.
Easy on the eyes, day or night.
Choose the look that fits your workspace. Filenest feels at home in both light and dark mode, and can follow your system automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Does Filenest work offline? Is my data uploaded to the cloud?
Filenest is fully local: OCR, AI analysis and storage all run on your Mac. Zero cloud uploads. The only network request is license validation, and it carries no document data. The app works as usual while offline.
What does Filenest actually do for me?
Think of it as a private assistant with a perfect memory. Drop files in and it reads them, files them under the right client, and reminds you before anything expires. Months later you can simply ask what was in the file you handed over, and it finds the document and gives you the answer.
Who is Filenest for?
It's built for immigration consultants, lawyers, accountants, and every multitasking professional. The idea came from a real moment: juggling several jobs, the creator was asked about a document submitted to a company six months earlier, and lost hours digging for it. One thought stuck: what if I could just ask an assistant to hand me that company's file? Filenest is that assistant. The more you juggle, the more you need it.
Which Macs does Filenest support?
Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 12 or newer. A Windows version is in development.
How is my data protected?
Your library database is encrypted with AES-256 (SQLCipher) and can only be opened with your key. Files stay in a folder you choose, with verified local backups. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Download Filenest and start a free trial. No account or credit card needed. When you're ready, pick monthly, annual or lifetime.
