Local-first PDF editing for private documents.

Many PDFs are not generic files. They can contain names, addresses, signatures, invoices, ID scans, receipts, tax records or private forms. A local-first workflow keeps that work on your device until you decide to export or share the finished PDF.

A practical private-document workflow

Step 1

Keep capture local

Scan or import the document without starting from a random upload form.

Step 2

Edit only what matters

Organize pages, add a note, arrow or signature, then review the file before export.

Step 3

Share deliberately

Export the finished PDF only when you choose the destination, recipient or archive.

Documents where privacy matters

  • Invoices, quotes and payment paperwork.
  • IDs, school forms, tax records and admin letters.
  • Contracts, approvals and signed forms.
  • Receipts, warranty records and personal purchase documents.
  • Business documents that should not move through unnecessary cloud tools.
