Solo lawyers are rarely at their desks all day. They are in court, in client meetings, and on the move — and their software has to move with them. A mobile app for a solo is not a convenience; it is where a meaningful share of the work actually happens. Here are five Frith mobile features that solo practitioners come to rely on, and why each one matters when you are running a firm from your phone.
1. Full matter access anywhere
Walking into a meeting without the file is a non-starter. Frith's mobile app gives solos access to matters — facts, documents, deadlines, and recent activity — from their phone. Instead of trying to remember details or calling the office, a solo opens the matter and has the context in hand. That access turns dead time between appointments into productive time.
2. Mobile time capture
Solos lose the most billable time to work done away from the desk that never gets recorded. Capturing time on mobile, attached to the matter, lets a solo log a call or a meeting the moment it ends. Time recorded in the moment is more accurate and more complete than time reconstructed at month end — which directly protects a solo's revenue.
3. AI drafting on the go
The blank page does not wait for you to get back to the office. Frith's AI Terminal and templates are available on mobile, so a solo can start a draft, summarize a document, or structure a response between appointments — under review later, but with the hard first step already done. For a solo with no one to delegate to, that is real leverage.
4. Client communication from your pocket
Clients expect responsiveness, and solos answer every message themselves. The mobile app keeps client communication connected to the matter, so a solo can respond, share a document, or send an update from anywhere — and it stays on the file rather than buried in a personal inbox. Consistent, prompt communication is how solos build trust without a support team.
5. Real-time sync across devices
Work started on the phone has to continue at the desk without re-entry. Frith syncs in real time across web, mobile, and the client app, so a note taken in court or a time entry logged after a call is there when the solo sits down later. That continuity is what makes mobile genuinely useful rather than a place where work gets stranded.

Using mobile responsibly
Mobile convenience does not change professional duties. Keep confidential data within the approved app and firm policy, secure the device, and review AI output before relying on it. The mobile app is there to make the responsible path easier when you are away from the desk, not to lower the standard of care.
Who benefits most
Solo practitioners and very small firms benefit most, since they have no support staff to cover work while they are out. Litigators and lawyers who travel between sites gain the most from matter access and mobile time capture. Desk-bound practices will value mobile less, though sync still helps.
