PDFs shouldn't feel like homework

You know the drill. Another PDF lands in your inbox. Another 20 minutes wasted.

01

The treasure hunt

"I know the due date is in here somewhere..." Three cups of coffee later, you're still scrolling.

02

The legalese maze

"Party of the first part, hereinafter referred to as..." What does this even mean?

03

The printer ritual

Print. Sign. Scan. Email. Delete. Repeat. It's not 1995 anymore.

Questions? Answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. Completely free. No trial, no premium tier, no catch. We built this because we were tired of PDF tools that cost $200/year.

Do you upload my documents?

No. Your PDFs stay on your Mac. The "Understand" feature analyzes text snippets, but your documents never leave your device.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Viewing, signing, and editing all work completely offline. Only the AI features need an internet connection.

Windows version?

Coming soon! We're working on a Windows version right now. Sign up to be notified when it launches.
