What you get

You can turn PDFs into signed documents, searchable scans, and cited answers.

You can read, mark up, and sign PDFs on your Mac, whether you’re returning a contract or reviewing a paper. Save your signature for reuse, fill in forms, and rearrange or combine pages to prepare the document you need. You can also redact sensitive details before sharing.

When a report is too long to read in full, you can request a summary or ask questions and get answers with page citations. Your documents stay on your Mac, and AI processing runs locally on Apple Silicon. You can also translate selected passages or listen to text read aloud.

For paper records, you can import scans from your iPhone and turn scanned PDFs into searchable text, including multiple files at once. When you need the contents elsewhere, you can export to text, Markdown, JSON, or CSV, or compress a PDF to reduce its file size.
