A clearer system for complex work
Highlight, pen and text annotations save to a flattened copy — the file you opened is never modified.
Document intelligence / 03
DocPilot
Fifteen workspaces in one window. Read and annotate, write and export, reorder pages, redact for real, sign, convert between twenty-nine formats and run OCR — all on your own computer. The assistant is the one part that can reach out, and only through a key you choose yourself.
Version 1.3.0 / 15 workspaces / 89 buttons / 14 languages / Windows
Reader
Annotate mode · Original untouched
/ Capabilities
Everything it does, not a selection.
Fifteen pages, eighty-nine buttons. Reading, writing, page work, redaction, signing, conversion and OCR run on your own machine and need no account and no internet. The assistant is the single exception, and it says so on its own screen.
01 / READ
Open, search and annotate
- Continuous scroll with thumbnails, jump to page, zoom, rotate and a two-page reading mode
- Search the text with match-case and a running count; an outline panel when the document has bookmarks
- Annotate with pen, highlighter, text and eraser, in eight colours
- What you draw saves to a new PDF — the file you opened is never modified
- Password-protected PDFs open throughout, once you have typed the password
02 / WRITE
A word processor that exports PDF
- Bold, italic, underline, strike-through, sizes, colours, alignment, lists and indentation
- Find and replace, including replace-all, with a live word count
- Opens TXT, HTML and DOCX; saves PDF, DOCX, HTML and TXT
- Undo and redo cover every step, not only the last one
03 / PAGE WORK
The page grid is a working copy
- Reorder by dragging, rotate 90 or 180, delete, extract into a new PDF
- Split into separate files, compress at three levels, encrypt with AES-256 or remove a password
- Nothing is written until you save, and one button brings the file back as it was
- Ten-thousand-page documents load lazily instead of freezing the window
04 / INSPECT
What a file really is
- Page count, size, PDF version, encryption, whether it is optimised for the web
- Title, author, subject, producer and dates — and you can correct them
- The report copies or saves, which is what you send when a PDF is refused somewhere and nobody says why
05 / MERGE
Any number of files, one order
- Add PDFs and images, drag them into order, drop the pages you do not need
- Rotate what came in crooked before it is merged, not after
- Undo and redo across the whole assembly
06 / REDACT
Removed, not covered
- Type the names, numbers or addresses to remove and they leave the file
- Not a black rectangle over text somebody can select underneath — the text is gone
- Correct on rotated pages, which is where most redaction tools quietly fail
07 / SIGN & FORMS
Signature and fillable fields
- Sign by drawing with the mouse, typing, or bringing an image; place it anywhere, at any size, with today's date if you tick it
- Open a PDF with form fields, fill it in, save it
- One tick locks the fields, so nobody changes them after you
08 / CONVERT
Twenty-nine formats, in and out
- Documents — docx, doc, odt, rtf, txt, text, md, html, htm, epub, pdf
- Spreadsheets — xlsx, xls, ods, csv
- Presentations — pptx, ppt, odp
- Images — jpg, jpeg, jpe, png, gif, bmp, tif, tiff, webp, heic, heif
- Images go in at their own size or poured onto A4; a PDF comes back out as images, or as a DOCX you can edit
09 / OCR
Text out of scans and photographs
- Twelve bundled languages — English, Romanian, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Hungarian, Turkish, Russian — several at once for mixed documents, with diacritics
- Take the text as it is, or make a searchable PDF: the scan stays exactly as it looks and the text underneath can be selected and found
- Runs over a whole stack with page-by-page progress and a stop button
- Nothing to download — the languages ship inside the installer
10 / BATCH
The same operation over a folder
- Compression, watermarks, page numbers or conversion across every PDF in a folder
- Progress names the current file; stopping halfway does not spoil what already finished
- A log you can save, saying which file failed and why — not a count of failures
11 / ASSISTANT
Starts offline. Reaches further only if you say so.
- Summary, a suggested title, classification of the document, and questions about what you loaded — with the conversation kept, so you can carry on
- It works on first launch with no key, no account and no internet, from local heuristics
- For stronger answers you connect your own key: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek — or a model running on your own machine through LM Studio or Ollama
- Six Claude models are offered with the price beside each — Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Haiku 4.5, Fable 5.1, Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6 — because those tokens are billed to you, by them, not by us
- The key is encrypted on your computer and travels to the one provider you picked. An indicator always shows who is answering
- Answers copy, save to a file, or clear together with the conversation
12 / SMART PDF
Text and pictures in, a laid-out document out
- Six real templates — Modern, Classic, Minimal, Business, Photo album, Letter
- Pictures are placed, not pasted at the end
/ Everywhere
The parts that are on every page.
These are not features of one workspace. They hold across all fifteen, which is the difference between an application and a folder of tools.
- Languages
- 14 — English, Romanian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Bengali, Japanese, Korean, Arabic
- Themes
- Light and dark, switched in place with Ctrl+T
- Icons
- 5 to choose from in Settings — the desktop shortcut changes with it
- Settings
- Nothing takes effect until Apply; Cancel puts everything back
- Problem report
- Collects the version, the Windows build and the log by itself, and opens your email with the message already written
- Drag and drop
- On every page, into the place where it makes sense
- One window
- A second file opened from Explorer goes into the window already running
- No freezing
- Every long operation runs on its own thread; the window keeps answering
/ Limits
What it does not do.
Written here rather than discovered after you have paid. Everything above was read out of the running application, page by page; so was this.
01 / YOUR FILES
Documents do not leave your computer
- Not to us, not to anyone else
- The one thing that goes out is a single line a day saying the program ran — four fields, no file names, no address of yours
- The exception is the assistant, and only when you have set up a key. Then the text you ask about goes to the provider you chose — that is what a key is for, and it is off until you turn it on
02 / EDITING PDF TEXT
It does not rewrite a paragraph in place
- Rotate, delete, extract, merge, redact and annotate — yes
- Click into an existing sentence and retype it, the way a professional PDF editor does — no
03 / SIGNATURES
Not a certified digital signature
- The signature is an image placed on the page
- It is not the legally recognised kind backed by a certificate
04 / PERMISSION TO RUN
It never asks anyone whether it may start
- The licence is checked on your machine, against a key built into the program
- With no internet it starts exactly as fast
/ Release
Reading stays free, always.
The trial runs for fourteen days, with everything open, and asks for no card and no account. When it ends, opening, viewing, searching and inspecting keep working — only saving a file needs a licence. Nobody is locked out of documents they have already made.
The key is tied to the buyer's email address and checked offline with an Ed25519 signature, so passing it on means passing your name on with it. Pro and Business ask the server how many computers are using the key; the rule the whole thing is built on is that the server can take, never give — server down, no internet, DNS moved, and the program carries on.
