Why Crime Code
A plain-English read on the matches, with the authoritative statute text a tap away — and your searches never leave your phone.
Plain-English search
Type what happened in everyday words — no legal jargon required — and Crime Code finds the relevant statutes. Already have a citation? Paste it to jump straight there.
On-device & private
The statute database and AI model live on your device. Lookups and the plain-English summaries never leave your phone — no account, no tracking of what you search.
Authoritative text
A plain-English summary of the likely charges sits above the matching statute cards. Tap any card for the full, official statute text — the authoritative source.
Refine & revisit
Thumbs-up / thumbs-down tunes the suggested matches over time, and History keeps your past searches a tap away. Core lookup even works offline.

Crime Code Premium
Base lookup — search, the on-device plain-English explanation, the authoritative statute text, and history — is always free.
Higher-quality matches
An optional subscription unlocks community-improved statute matches, so plain-English descriptions map to the right statutes more reliably.
Contribute back
If you choose, contribute your own anonymized corrections to help improve matches for everyone. A free trial is available.
Subscriptions are managed through the App Store; price, billing period, and trial terms are shown by Apple at the point of purchase. Contributing is opt-in and off by default.
Coverage
Crime Code currently covers Delaware state and Wilmington city statutes, with more jurisdictions planned.
Privacy first
Your searches never leave your phone. Crime Code looks up statutes and generates its plain-English explanations entirely on your device — no account, no tracking of what you search.
