This macOS app runs as a native Swift/SwiftUI app on macOS 14 or later, with no Docker, no server, and no browser tab. It reads text from documents using Apple’s Vision framework for OCR.
Its AI features can suggest a title, tags, and document type, but the user chooses the mode. uses no AI, on-device mode uses Apple so the work stays on the Mac, and Claude API mode uses the cloud for stronger results.
