Depono helps legal teams prepare case documents and upload productions to Clio. It includes production preparation, copy-only Bates preparation, and a resumable upload queue.
Formerly Clio Companion, Depono is proprietary Windows software from C-Tech Solutions LLC. This repository hosts customer downloads and public release information; it does not contain the application's source code.
Depono v0.4.8 stops Bates output from being saved to Clio Drive and is a public pilot for coordinated installation and update testing. General customer rollout is on hold. See the v0.4.8 release for downloads and release information for scope. The macOS app is not part of this public release.
Depono targets Windows x64 and installs for the current Windows user. Normal installation and updates do not require administrator credentials; organizational policies may restrict installation or downloads.
Existing Clio Companion v0.4.0 users will need to install the first public Depono release manually. The private Depono v0.4.1 pilot already uses this update repository. The upgrade retains existing settings, activation and saved work. Removing an older shared installation is a separate administrator-assisted step.
Releases contain a signed setup executable, its SHA-256 checksum, update metadata and a signed Windows catalog authenticating that metadata. Depono verifies the catalog and installer publisher before applying updates. Download installers only from this repository's Releases page and verify the publisher is C-Tech Solutions LLC.
The pilot uses the stable update channel so existing Depono v0.4.1 installations can discover it. It is publicly downloadable; the pilot label does not restrict access. In v0.4.1 and v0.4.2, automatic checks normally run about once a day when the application is running. Starting with v0.4.3, checks run every four hours while running and shortly after startup unless a check was attempted within the past hour. Help → Updates also shows Last checked and Next check. Check now starts an earlier check; GitHub-requested retry delays still apply.
Automatic updates can be disabled in Help → Updates. Manual checks remain available. A staged update applies after a permitted normal exit, or through Restart to update; minimizing to the tray does not install it.
Depono is proprietary software. See the proprietary notice. Customer software use is governed by the terms supplied with the applicable release or purchase. Manual activation uses a signed license file for one Windows-user installation. Annual licenses cover one calendar year and require a newly issued file for each yearly renewal. Their dates are fixed when issued; importing a file later does not restart its year. Upgrade to v0.4.4 or later before importing an annual license. Existing perpetual licenses remain valid and are preserved by the update; an annual import does not replace an existing perpetual entitlement.
License verification works offline without a recurring online license check. An expired annual license blocks new production work while allowing work already running to finish. Activation, help, updates, existing outputs and reports remain available. Importing a valid renewal restores access but does not automatically restart queued work. Keep Windows date and time correct; a clock-error message may require issuer support after correcting the clock. This release does not add subscription billing or online activation. Clio operations require network access. Third-party components remain subject to their own licenses and notices included with the software.
Do not put client documents, matter details, credentials, license files or diagnostic records in public repository discussions or issues.
Depono is an independent product. References to Clio describe the integration and do not imply endorsement by Clio.
