What it does

When you handle sensitive documents on your mobile device, you deserve more than just the illusion of privacy.

Meet VaultPDF: a hardcore, privacy-first Android PDF editor built around two non-negotiable principles: absolute local processing and engine-level accuracy. Because VaultPDF has zero network access, we couldn't serve you ads even if we wanted to.

It supports the bare minimum for my most common usecases. It is not intended to be a full-featured PDF editor. Features include filling PDF forms, inserting images and text, and rotating PDFs.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
