The ones people actually ask.
Do I need a Mac? Can I run it from just my iPhone?
You need a Mac. Parity Scan runs on a Mac (macOS) — it cannot run on an iPhone or iPad alone. Your texts do not need to be on the Mac already: plug your iPhone into the Mac, make a quick backup in Finder, and Parity Scan reads your messages from it. Windows support is planned but not yet available — if you don't have access to a Mac, please don't purchase yet.
Do I need Claude Code access to use Parity Scan?
Yes. Parity Scan is a Claude Code skill. For most individual users, Claude Code access is included with a Claude Pro or Max subscription. Team and Enterprise accounts may also include access. If you use Claude Code with an API key, Anthropic bills that usage separately.
How does installation work?
Download your Parity Scan skill file, open Claude Code, and follow the included install prompt. The guide shows where to place the skill file and how to start Parity Scan — no command line experience needed.
What message formats does it work with?
iMessage texts are read directly on your Mac — from the Messages app or from an iPhone backup, no export tools needed. Beyond that, any conversation you can export as text works: WhatsApp, Android SMS, email threads, and more. The included installation guide has step-by-step export instructions for every major platform.
Can I use this in court or with a lawyer?
Parity Scan produces organized observations and pattern descriptions — it's a research and clarity tool, not legal testimony. Many people use it to prepare for attorney meetings or to organize their thinking before a consultation. Your attorney decides what's admissible.
Is my conversation data private?
Your messages are processed through Claude Code using your own Claude account or API configuration. Parity Scan itself never sees, stores, or transmits your data. For highly sensitive legal matters, review Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy before use.
