DocSignly
Read full descriptionHide full description
DocSignly is a PDF toolkit for people who work from their phone. Sign contracts, merge documents, turn photos into PDFs, split, reorder, delete pages and shrink large files — all without a laptop, a scanner, or an account. Every tool runs on your device. Your documents are not uploaded to any cloud, are not scanned for advertising, and never leave your phone. ◆ SIGN PDFS ON YOUR PHONE Open any PDF, draw your signature with your finger, drop it where it belongs, and save. Built for contracts, leases, NDAs, waivers and employee forms. The signed PDF is a clean, shareable file — no watermarks, no "signed with" banners. ◆ MERGE & SPLIT Combine multiple PDFs into a single file with drag-to-reorder. Or split a long PDF by page range or extract specific pages. Useful for turning a stack of receipts into one tidy report or pulling a single page out of a long contract. ◆ PHOTOS TO PDF Pick images from your library (or take new ones) and convert them into a single PDF in one tap. Choose page size (A4 / Letter / Auto) and orientation. Great for receipts, whiteboard notes, insurance docs and forms that arrived on paper. ◆ COMPRESS PDFS Shrink large PDFs so they fit under email size limits or send faster over mobile data. The app rebuilds the PDF with compact object streams — no quality loss for typical text and vector content. ◆ REORDER & DELETE PAGES Drag pages into the order you want, or tick pages you don't need and remove them. A live preview shows the result before you save. ◆ PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No sign-up, no email, no cloud account • No analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers, no ads • All processing runs on your iPhone • Works offline on a plane, on the subway, anywhere ◆ WHO DOCSIGNLY IS FOR • Busy professionals signing contracts and sending clean PDFs on the go • Freelancers handling invoices, NDAs and scope docs • Students signing leases, submitting scanned assignments • Anyone who hates the print → sign → scan → email loop ◆ WHAT'S INSIDE • Sign PDF with finger-drawn signature (place anywhere on any page) • Merge multiple PDFs (drag to reorder pages first) • Split PDF by range, extract pages, or split every page • Photo / Image to PDF (A4, Letter or Auto; Portrait or Landscape) • Compress PDF (object-stream rebuild) • Reorder pages (drag and drop) • Delete pages (tick to remove) ◆ FREE + PREMIUM The first 2 tool operations are free — no sign-up, no card required. Upgrade to DocSignly Premium for unlimited access to every tool. Available plans may include weekly, monthly, or yearly subscriptions. Pricing may vary by region and is shown in the app before purchase. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage subscriptions anytime in Apple ID Settings. ◆ WHAT DOCSIGNLY DOES NOT DO To stay honest: DocSignly does not convert PDFs to Word or Excel, does not run OCR on scanned text, does not provide cloud sync, and is not a replacement for notarised e-signatures. If you need legally notarised signing (eIDAS, DocuSign-style audit trails), use a service built for that. No subscription traps. No forced account. Your files stay yours.

Pagira opens your HTML sites and pages, your comics in CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT, your EPUB books and your PDFs, on iPhone and iPad, even offline. A complete web folder (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, subfolders) displays just like in a browser, locally, with no connection. HTML SITES AND PAGES - Full rendering: CSS, JavaScript, images and subfolders genuinely work. fetch/XHR, ES modules and even WebAssembly are supported, because the content is served through a real local web origin, not a simple file preview. - A site in a .zip is uncompressed and opened in one tap. .webarchive files open as they are. - Ideal for courses exported as HTML (medicine, law and other fields) and e-learning modules, technical documentation shipped as a website (electronics, mechanics, manuals, datasheets), generated documentation (Doxygen, Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, Storybook, Javadoc), Jupyter notebooks, R Markdown and reports saved as HTML, or web pages to keep for later. COMICS AND MANGA - CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT, as well as .zip, .rar, .7z or folders that hold only pictures. - Two-page spreads on iPad, manga reading direction, vertical scrolling. - Panel by Panel reading: each panel grows and the balloons read without zooming, even on iPhone. BOOKS AND PDFS - EPUB books with light, sepia and dark themes. - PDFs: continuous scrolling, go to page, contents and thumbnails. - Word, Markdown, RTF and text too. - Highlights, notes and bookmarks in your books and PDFs. SEARCH - Search a whole folder, even scanned PDFs (text recognized on the device), and by file name. - Ask: ask a question, Pagira opens the page that answers it. Nothing made up. OFFLINE AND ICLOUD - 100% offline: once the content is on your device, everything opens without a connection. Perfect on a plane or where there is no network. - Open from the Files app (local storage, iCloud Drive, network server) or via "Open in Pagira" from other apps. - iCloud on demand: files are read as you go, without downloading everything, or downloaded in one tap for a permanent offline copy. Automatic resume after an interruption. - iCloud sync: page, highlights, notes and favorites follow you between iPhone and iPad. HOME AND HISTORY - Home: Currently Reading, Favorites, Recent and Offline, with their covers. - History: every page you have viewed, including within a site, grouped by day, and reopened right where you left off. - Your last reading reopens at launch (can be turned off). Universal (iPhone and iPad, in both orientations) and available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. PRIVACY Pagira collects nothing, tracks no one and requires no account. Your files stay on your device and in your iCloud: nothing is sent to a server. No ads, no tracking. TRIAL AND PURCHASE Try Pagira for free with all its features (up to 20 document openings, opening a folder doesn't count). After that, a single purchase, with no subscription, unlocks the app for good: Pagira Pro, or Pagira Pro Supporter, shared with your whole family.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: DocSignly at 15.1 against HTML Viewer's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
