Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Arcanoapp is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Arcanoapp addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Documents scattered across email, shared drives, attorney desktops, and filing cabinets — paralegal can't find the key document when it's needed for court or a deposition
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Arcanoapp
Lawyer needs to send/receive sensitive documents (contracts, court filings, medical records) with client or counterparty → uses Arcano for encrypted transfer instead of email attachments or generic file sharing
After Arcanoapp
Recipient receives encrypted file → decrypts on-device → files stored with encryption at rest (optional).
Integrations & hand-offs
Arcano ↔ Microsoft Outlook (AppSource add-in). Arcano → client websites (embeddable upload widget). No login required for recipients.
