Free desktop app + CLI · Mac and Windows
Privacy-first document extraction.
Pull text, tables, and data out of PDFs with OCR that runs on your own computer. Redact sensitive details before anything leaves your desk. Every result links back to the exact spot on the page.
Download for Mac · Automate with the CLI
Free. No account. Your files never leave your computer. macOS 13+ · Apple silicon · Windows alpha.
Extract without uploading. Verify every value. Redact, export, share.
Drop in a scan or a text PDF. Built-in OCR reads it on your machine, so nothing is sent to a server. Each extracted block links to its exact location on the page, so you can check a number against the source in one click. Find names, account numbers, and other sensitive details, review each one, then export Markdown, JSON, or CSV, or save a redacted copy as a new PDF.
The same extraction, from your terminal.
The desktop app ships with the okra command. Process whole folders, hand results to scripts and coding agents, and export from a pipeline. Files still never leave your machine. On Mac, open Settings → Command Line, choose Install Command Line Tool, and select a folder on your PATH.

Built for documents you can’t upload.
Start with the built-in OCR, add a supported local model, or connect Ollama on your machine. Models download only when you approve. Opening a PDF never starts a parse; exports and redacted copies are new files. Cancel a long parse, inspect the run history, and resume from completed pages in the app or the CLI.
