DocketBird is a web-based repository and monitoring service for federal and state court cases and documents. It connects with all United States federal courts, including district, bankruptcy, and appeals courts, as well as thousands of state courts. AutoCalendar AI extracts deadlines and events from filed documents and adds them to case calendars. Calendars can sync by ICS link with services including Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Clio, and BusyCal. Document integrations include iManage, NetDocs, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Litify, and Filevine. Its Webhook API can push documents to custom systems in real time when filings occur or documents are downloaded. Each plan includes 20 active cases per seat; a case counts as active when it has a filing within the last 60 days, and each additional active case costs 75 cents. DocketBird shares docket-check costs among users and makes documents downloaded by one user available to others at no charge. Attorneys of record can generally receive federal filings without charge when their court account is integrated. Libraries can use it free subject to a prominent website link.
