Deadline clock
Every request starts a statutory clock the moment it arrives. Acknowledge-by and respond-by dates are tracked automatically, with at-a-glance states so nothing slips past a board-meeting Tuesday.
FOIL request management for New York municipalities
Statutory deadline tracking, department routing, and compliant responses — built for the clerk's desk.
FOIAdesk takes a FOIL request from intake to release: it starts the statutory clock, routes the request to the right departments, gates document release behind review, and drafts the letters — so a small records-access team can keep every request on time.
Everything a FOIL request needs, in one place
Department routing
Send a request to the departments that actually hold the records — each on its own branch with its own internal due date. Responders work from a single, deliberately simple screen.
Documents & release
Uploaded files stay internal and pending review. Reviewers pair originals with redacted versions, and only cleared files can enter a release package — no accidental disclosure.
Letters & appeals
Generate acknowledgment, extension, grant, partial-grant, and denial letters from the request record. When a request is appealed, the record assembles itself for the appeals officer.
Built for the clerk's desk
The records-access officer at a small agency is usually a clerk or lieutenant with three other jobs. FOIAdesk is built for that desk: no procurement, no enterprise setup, and screens simple enough to hand to a department responder without training. The deadline is always in front of you, and the full history of every request is one click away.
