Three layers of authentication, matter-level passwords, 50 permission flags, and a complete audit trail. Enterprise security for solo and small firms.
Client confidentiality isn't optional. TimeNet Law 6 gives you enterprise-grade security without the enterprise-grade headache — three authentication layers, matter-level passwords, granular permissions, and a complete audit trail. All on the iOS app and synced with your Mac.

TimeNet Law protects your data at three independent levels. Each can be enabled or disabled separately — use one, two, or all three depending on your security needs.

All three layers re-lock automatically when the app goes to background:
Face ID makes re-authentication nearly invisible. Enable it and you won't even notice the re-lock — your face unlocks it instantly when you return.
Some matters are extra sensitive — opposing counsel's files, high-profile clients, personal matters. TimeNet Law lets you lock them individually.

The Control Center on your Mac lets you set fine-grained permissions for each timekeeper. 50 individual flags give you precise control without complexity.
Most firms only need to set a few — the defaults are sensible.

For a solo practitioner, you may never touch permissions. They're there when you grow your team and need to control who sees what.
Every significant action is logged:
The audit trail is your proof of data integrity. If a client ever questions when an entry was made or modified, you have the receipts.

Enable Face ID + Database Password. That's two layers that take zero extra time with biometrics.
Add Control Center logins so each person sees only their data. Set matter passwords for sensitive cases.
Use the full permission system. Restrict billing access to partners, limit associates to their own entries, lock down administrative functions.
The audit trail runs automatically. You don't need to enable anything — it's always on.
Here's the recommended configuration, step by step:
On Mac: Go to Control Center → set a database password. This is the first line of defense for your entire database.
On Mac: Create timekeeper logins with appropriate permission flags. Each person gets their own credentials and sees only what you allow.
On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings → Security → Enable Face ID Lock. This makes re-authentication invisible.
On Mac: Set matter passwords on sensitive matters as needed. Only those who know the password can access them.
Close the app, reopen, and verify each layer prompts correctly. Switch apps to test background re-authentication. Try accessing a locked matter.

Security shouldn't slow you down. TimeNet Law's three-layer approach means you can use Face ID for instant access in trusted environments, or stack all three layers for maximum protection. The audit trail runs silently in the background. Your clients' data is safe, your bar obligations are met, and you barely notice it's there.
