Why it's different

Other tools upload your files. We just don't.

01

It runs on your machine

Everything happens inside your browser tab using your own device. Your documents are never sent anywhere — there's no server to send them to.

02

No limits, genuinely

Because your device does the work, we don't pay per task — so there are no daily caps, no "2 files a day," no sign-up walls. Use it all day.

03

Nothing to install

No Docker, no desktop app, no extension. Open the page and go. The privacy of self-hosting, with the ease of a website.

Honest comparison

How we stack up.

The popular tools are great — but they upload your files and ration the free tier. Here's the trade-off, plainly.
