Where Lorla wins
Built for the moment work happens
Lock screen + Dynamic Island capture
Start and stop a timer without unlocking your phone. CaseClock requires you to open the app. For attorneys in court, at jail visits, or between meetings, that difference is the whole point.
On-device matter matching
Lorla suggests the right matter from your Clio cases and shows you why it matched. CaseClock requires you to select the matter manually from a list.
AES-256 encryption on your device
Client names, matter details, and billing notes are encrypted at rest on your phone. CaseClock encrypts data in transit but does not specify on-device encryption.
Offline-first architecture
Lorla was designed offline-first — every feature works without a connection. CaseClock supports offline capture but was built as a connected app.

Android support today
CaseClock is available on Android now. Lorla is iOS only — Android is coming soon but is not yet available.

Lower entry price
