Exhibit Stamping Software That Actually Works on Mac
Most exhibit stamping tools are Windows-only. ExhibitPrep runs natively in any browser— Safari, Chrome, Firefox—without Boot Camp, Parallels, or Windows emulation.
The honest take
The legal software industry has largely ignored Mac users. Most exhibit stamping tools were built for Windows in the early 2000s and never updated. If you're tired of running Windows VMs or asking colleagues to stamp your exhibits, ExhibitPrep was built for you.
