How do I prove workplace discrimination?

Document each incident with the date, what was said or done, and who witnessed it — so a pattern emerges that a single incident can’t show.

What counts as workplace discrimination?

Unfair treatment based on a protected characteristic — race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and others — in hiring, pay, promotion, or conditions.

What should I document?

Each incident with date and time, exact comments where possible, who was involved and who witnessed it, and any complaints you made and the response.

When should I start documenting?

As early as possible. A dated record built over time is what turns "it feels unfair" into a demonstrable pattern.

Is this you?

Is this happening to you?

You're being treated differently, and it's about who you are. If this sounds familiar:

Comments about your race, age, gender, religion, or disability
Being passed over while others advance
Different rules applied to you than to others
Complaints that go nowhere
A pattern you feel daily but can’t yet show

Discrimination is rarely one big moment — it's a pattern, made undeniable when each incident is dated and in order. That's what this app helps you build.

Three simple steps.

Capture — Log each incident with the date, what happened, and who witnessed it. Timestamped instantly.

For employment & civil-rights lawyers

A discrimination case is the pattern, not the one incident.

Most clients arrive with one story that's easy to explain away. The ones who win show up with every incident dated, witnessed, and in order — so the pattern speaks for itself. You weren't there. But you can point them somewhere that captures it.

What usually walks in

“It’s been happening for a while”
Incidents half-remembered
Comments with no dates
Witnesses unrecorded
