• Document Drafting and Editing. Tritium provides an environment focused on creating and modifying documents in Word format. The interface eliminates complex menu elements, focusing attention on the textual content for the production of contracts, agreements, and other legal instruments.
• Integrated PDF Support. The application allows viewing and, in specific cases, editing PDF documents. This feature facilitates the review of scanned papers, documents provided by clients, or reference materials in that format.
• Change Tracking System (Redlining). It implements a method of tracking modifications that highlights only substantial alterations to the content. This approach reduces visual clutter and clarifies the editing flow for all participants in the legal review.
• Document Version Comparison. The tool includes a functionality to compare different drafts of the same document. It identifies and displays textual differences between versions, streamlining the analysis and consolidation process.
• Automatic Highlighting of Legal Terms. During reading, the program detects and automatically underlines specific elements such as party names, dates, amounts, and defined clauses. It assists in the quick identification of key components within a lengthy text.
• Term Management and Definition. It allows for the centralized definition of legal terms within the document. Once defined, the system can track and display all instances where those terms are used or referenced across the project's set of documents.
• Parallel View of Multiple Documents. It facilitates work with related documents by enabling the simultaneous display of several files in the same window. It eliminates the need to switch between windows to consult information from complementary files.
• Real-Time Clause Annotations. It enables the addition of comments and annotations linked directly to specific clauses or paragraphs. These annotations are visible during the drafting and review process, maintaining the context of the discussion.
• Integrations with AI Tools. It incorporates connectors with artificial intelligence systems designed for legal tasks. These integrations can assist in language generation, clause analysis, or identification of potential risks within the text.
• Unified Project Search. It includes a search engine that operates across all open documents or those belonging to the same project. It locates concepts, phrases, or cross-references across all working material without the need for individual file searches.
• Organization of Related Documents. It offers methods to group and manage documents that are part of the same transaction or case. It maintains an organized context for NDAs, partnership agreements, appendices, and other linked papers.
• Focus on Minimizing Distractions. The user interface design prioritizes concentration on the text. It eliminates superfluous buttons and toolbars, presenting a clean workspace for prolonged legal drafting.

Tritium was conceived and developed by legal professionals in collaboration with software engineers. Its creation began with the goal of solving specific inefficiencies in the legal document workflow. The program is written in C++ and uses cross-platform frameworks for its graphical interface. Its active development began several years before its public release, with iterations based on feedback from practicing lawyers.
