“0748 – S exits. Blu hoodie/jns. Bpck L.”

You're wasting hours on paperwork.

Your current workflow

Combining notes from multiple investigators
With TimeZero
Paste your raw notes exactly as written
AI handles timestamps, abbreviations, formatting
Professional report generated in minutes
Adapts to any client requirements
The worst part? Every client wants a different format. You're constantly reformatting the same information instead of doing actual investigation work.
The template problem.
Traditional report software forces you into rigid boxes. Different template for every mission, dropdowns for things that need nuance, formatting rules that slow you down.
Pre-defined fields that never quite fit your situation
Required formats that don't match how you work
Dropdown menus for things that need free text
Different templates for different report types
Manual reformatting when clients want a different style
TimeZero is format agnostic.
Paste whatever you collected in the field. Shorthand, paragraphs, transcripts, mixed sources, TimeZero normalizes them without forcing a template.
Three simple steps.
Generate a professional .docx in minutes, usually about ~50 seconds per 100 log lines.
Paste your notes
Copy your field notes exactly as you wrote them. Any format, any style, any investigator. TimeZero handles it all.

Why TimeZero works.
An intelligence engine that understands your notes without forcing you to change how you operate.
What TimeZero does

- Expands abbreviations automatically
- Organizes entries chronologically, even if pasted out of order
- Combines multiple investigators seamlessly
- Produces professional prose while preserving observations
- Adapts emphasis based on case context
What TimeZero doesn't do
- Force your notes into templates
- Require specific formats or fields
- Make you fill out forms or dropdowns

- Need manual organization before import
Every format works.
Whether you write military shorthand, narrative paragraphs, or stream-of-consciousness notes, TimeZero converts them into briefing-ready prose.
Shorthand
0655 – On loc 1234 Elm. Wht Camry drvwy. 0748 – S exits. Blu hoodie/jns. Bpck L. 0750 – Veh dep EB Elm.
Narrative
Subject came out around 7:48 wearing casual clothes. He closed the door with his right hand and got in the Camry. Lost visual briefly but picked him back up at the coffee shop.
Stream of consciousness
Sitting on the residence. Quiet morning. Subject emerged at 7:48, hoodie and jeans. Used right hand for door. Drove off eastbound. Nothing fancy, just took notes as things happened.
TimeZero output
[1/1/25, 6:55:00 AM] Investigator: Surveillance established at 1234 Elm Street. White Toyota Camry observed in driveway. [1/1/25, 7:48:00 AM] Investigator: Subject exited residence wearing blue hoodie and jeans with backpack over left shoulder. [1/1/25, 7:50:00 AM] Investigator: Vehicle departed eastbound on Elm Street.
Multiple investigators? No problem.
Paste every operator's notes, whether shorthand, narrative, or transcript snippets, and TimeZero unifies them in consistent language.
The old way
- Collect notes from each investigator
- Manually merge different formats
- Sort chronologically
- Normalize writing styles
- Fill handoff gaps
The TimeZero way
- Paste all notes in any order
- Generate the report
- Deliver
Example mission handoff
