Simplify Legal Documents Before You Sign Anything

Legal documents are written to be precise, not to be understood by the person signing them. Retardify exists to simplify legal documents like leases, employment contracts, freelance agreements, and terms of service, turning dense clauses into plain language you can actually evaluate before committing to anything.

This tool is built for people who regularly encounter contracts but don't have a lawyer on call for every one: renters reviewing a lease, freelancers checking a client agreement, small business owners signing vendor terms, or employees reading an offer letter with unfamiliar clauses. It's meant to sit between skimming a document and paying for a full legal consultation.

Rather than producing a vague summary, Retardify works clause by clause. It explains what each section means in everyday terms, flags provisions worth double-checking, such as automatic renewals, broad liability waivers, or unusual termination rights, and lets you ask direct questions about specific wording.

The goal isn't to replace legal advice for complex or high-stakes situations. It's to make sure that for the contracts people sign regularly, understanding what you're agreeing to isn't a privilege reserved for people who already speak legal language.
