Read full description

Privio is the offline PDF toolkit for lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, and anyone who handles documents that should not be uploaded to a stranger's server. Every operation โ€” scan, OCR, redact, sign, summarise with Apple Intelligence, capture receipts โ€” runs locally on your iPhone or iPad. Your PDFs never leave this device. Optional Firebase usage and purchase statistics: on in the free version, off by default with Pro; change it in Settings. No documents or file names are sent. THE 23 TOOLS Document intake โ€ข Scan to PDF โ€” Apple VisionKit edge detection, multi-page capture โ€ข OCR PDF โ€” Apple Vision recognizes text on scanned PDFs and adds a searchable text layer โ€ข Image to PDF โ€” photos, receipts, screenshots into one PDF โ€ข Merge PDFs โ€” combine document-level or hand-pick pages โ€ข Compress PDF โ€” shrink for email without visible quality loss โ€ข Split PDF โ€” extract page ranges, every Nth page, or N equal parts Editing โ€ข Rotate pages โ€” fix sideways scans โ€ข Delete pages โ€” drop what you don't need โ€ข Sign PDF โ€” finger or stylus signature with SHA-256 audit footer โ€ข Fill form โ€” standard PDF form fields with flatten-on-save; scripted forms such as USCIS only partly supported โ€ข Page numbers โ€” four formats, five positions, custom start โ€ข Bates numbering โ€” legal discovery standard โ€ข Password protect โ€” AES-256 encrypt or unlock Review โ€ข Watermark โ€” CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, custom text in three layouts โ€ข Extract text โ€” pull clean text out of any born-digital PDF โ€ข Compare PDFs โ€” redline two versions, added and removed text โ€ข Bookmarks / TOC โ€” jump to any chapter in long briefs and depositions โ€ข Find sensitive data โ€” auto-detect SSN, EIN, credit cards (Luhn validated), IBANs, emails, phone numbers โ€ข Redact โ€” search words, render-and-flatten removes them from the data stream AI + receipts + batch โ€ข Summarize PDF โ€” Apple Intelligence on-device summary (iOS 26+) โ€ข Live Text view โ€” Apple Live Text + Visual Look Up โ€ข Batch operations โ€” compress, watermark, or rotate a stack of PDFs in one pass โ€ข Receipt scanner โ€” auto-extract date / vendor / total / tax โ†’ QuickBooks-friendly CSV iOS INTEGRATION Home Screen widget (Small + Medium) plus three Lock Screen accessory families. iOS 18 Control Center / Lock Screen scan control. Action Button binding for iPhone 15 Pro and later. Siri, Shortcuts, Files Provider, Share Sheet, Action Extension. iPad Stage Manager + Split View. PRIVACY POSITIONING Other PDF apps upload your file to "process" it in the cloud โ€” meaning their staff, their server logs, and their attackers could all see your documents. Privio was built so the lawyer-client privilege, the accountant-client confidentiality, and your personal data stay where they belong: on your phone. Privio is built with Apple's own frameworks โ€” VisionKit for scanning, Apple Vision for OCR, Apple Intelligence for summarisation, PDFKit for assembly. Your documents are processed on your device and are never uploaded. There is no account. PRICING The tools run free: open any tool and use it on your own document. Save or share PDF results for free with a PDF Privio watermark; Pro removes it and lets you copy or export text results. (Batch and the receipt scanner are Pro from the start.) โ€ข Yearly โ€” the best value โ€ข Lifetime โ€” pay once; no subscription, no renewal โ€ข Monthly โ€” month to month You'll see your local price in the app. No ads, free or Pro. MADE BY EREK STUDIO Built by an independent developer in Istanbul. No VC, no growth team, no dark patterns. If a feature is missing or a bug bites you, email mustafasalimerek@gmail.com and you'll hear back from a human within a day. Designed for iPad: native sidebar navigation, 19 tools at a glance on a 5ร—4 grid, landscape support for Magic Keyboard, and centered reading layouts.
