Chat with any PDF on your Mac instantly.

Overview

PDF Pals is a fast, secure, and privacy-focused macOS app that lets you interact with your PDF files through AI-powered chat—entirely offline and without file size limits. Designed for researchers, legal professionals, developers, and knowledge workers, it transforms how you navigate dense documents by enabling natural language queries directly within your Mac environment.

Unlike browser-based tools or bulky Electron apps, PDF Pals is a lightweight native macOS application optimized for speed and efficiency. It supports scanned documents and complex layouts using built-in OCR, and stores all data locally, keeping your files private and secure. There’s no need for cloud uploads or external vector databases.

Users can bring their own API key from services like OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or OpenRouter, or rent one through the app. Conversations and data are stored securely on your machine, and your API key is saved in the Apple Keychain. PDF Pals supports multiple PDFs at once, customizable system prompts, and export options in markdown or JSON.

With simple setup and no account required, PDF Pals is ideal for anyone looking to save time and extract insights from PDFs instantly—without compromising privacy or performance. It’s a must-have tool for productive, intelligent document interaction on macOS.
