Local-first PDF editor — macOS app, Windows installer, Chrome extension.
Documents never leave your machine.

  • Password protection. Save an AES-256 encrypted copy, with
    per-recipient permissions. Implemented from the specification in pure
    Rust and checked against an independent reader: 17 real-world
    documents encrypt and re-render identically, refuse the wrong
    password, and accept both the user and owner passwords.

  • Tabs. Several documents open at once, each with its own zoom and
    position. Closing the window now accounts for unsaved changes in
    every tab, not just the visible one.

  • Rectangle and ellipse annotations, sized by the drag.

  • Page numbers and Bates numbering — any corner, any font, starting
    from any number, zero-padded for discovery sets.

  • Find in document (⌘F) now has a toolbar button, not just the
    keyboard shortcut. It finds phrases broken across a line wrap.

  • Watermark density is adjustable, and starts sparser — the previous
    pattern couldn't be thinned out at all.

  • Contents panel for the document's own bookmarks, with the section
    you're reading highlighted.

  • Flatten markup into the page, and import/export XFDF to move
    comments between PDF tools.

  • Adding a form field no longer looks broken: the panel where you type
    the value now opens by itself, the name is prefilled, and the dialog
    is titled after the tool that opened it.

Signed, so it will not be reported as "damaged" — but not notarised
(that needs a paid Apple Developer account), so the first launch shows
"Apple could not verify…". Open it once via System Settings → Privacy
& Security → Open Anyway
