Exhibit Stamping for Mac

Skip the App Store and the Gatekeeper prompt - ExhibitPrep opens directly in Safari and runs the same on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs alike.

Mac exhibit stamping facts
  • ExhibitPrep works identically on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3) and Intel Macs, since it runs in the browser rather than as native code.
  • The minimum supported macOS version is 10.15 Catalina, covering essentially every Mac still receiving browser updates.
  • No App Store download means no Gatekeeper "unidentified developer" warning - Safari opens ExhibitPrep like any other website.
  • PDFs can be uploaded from iCloud Drive, a local folder, or any mounted external drive through the standard macOS file picker.
  • macOS Preview handles basic PDF viewing and annotation but has no legal exhibit templates, no automatic numbering, and no batch processing - ExhibitPrep adds all three.
  • ExhibitPrep includes 26 exhibit stamp templates, covering plaintiff, defendant, deposition, arbitration, and multi-party formats.
  • Stamped files save to the Downloads folder by default and can be moved into iCloud Drive to sync across other Apple devices.
  • All PDF processing runs locally in the browser, so documents never leave the Mac during stamping.

Mac Usage FAQ

Does ExhibitPrep work on Mac?

It does, in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on any Mac. Since nothing installs from the App Store, there is no Gatekeeper warning to click through - the tool just opens as a webpage.

Is it compatible with Apple Silicon Macs?

Yes. ExhibitPrep runs in your browser, so it works identically on M1, M2, M3 Apple Silicon Macs and older Intel Macs.

Do I need to install anything?

No installation needed. ExhibitPrep runs entirely in Safari or Chrome. No .dmg files, no Gatekeeper warnings, no admin password required.

Can I use it with iCloud Drive?

Yes! Upload PDFs from iCloud Drive and save stamped files back. ExhibitPrep integrates seamlessly with the Mac file system.

Is Preview not good enough for exhibit stamping?

Preview is great for basic PDF viewing, but lacks legal exhibit templates, automatic numbering, batch processing, and proper exhibit formatting that ExhibitPrep provides.
