## ✨ What it does

Drop a PDF and it opens in a single, canvas-based **editor** — a Photoshop-like workspace for one document at a time. **22 editor tools and 7 standalone utilities** cover everything from a quick tick on a printed form to redaction, OCR, and on-device AI:

- **✏️ Annotate & sign** — draw, highlight, shapes, text (14 fonts, **bold** / _italic_ / underline), form-filling icons (tick / cross / dot / circle), signatures (draw with a real-pen ink feel, or a pressure-sensitive stylus — Apple Pencil, Wacom, S-Pen), fill & flatten forms (or auto-fill flat printed ones)
- **📄 Pages** — reorder, rotate, delete, crop (auto-trim & straighten), strip repeating headers/footers, N-up & booklet, OCR, plus split / extract / contact-sheet on export
- **🔒 Privacy** — redact (burned into the page), select or find & box text, erase regions (fill / blend / pixelate), scrub hidden data, edit or strip metadata
- **🏷️ Stamps & numbering** — watermarks (with dynamic date/page tokens), QR & barcode stamps, page numbers, headers & footers, Bates numbering, bookmarks, file attachments

Export to PDF, images (ZIP), a contact sheet, or split pages — with optional compress / grayscale / flatten / repair / strip-metadata.

The editor is keyboard-friendly: press **⌘K / Ctrl+K** to jump to any tool from a command palette, and undo/redo with the usual shortcuts.

A few **standalone tools** cover the jobs the single-PDF editor can't — these mirror the categories on the home screen:

- **🧩 Combine & Convert** — merge PDFs, build a PDF from images, or extract embedded images
- **🔑 Secure & Sign** — add a password & permissions, sign with a certificate, or compare two PDFs
- **🤖 On-device AI** — _Ask your PDF_: chat with a document using a small model that runs entirely in your browser, no API key or server

## 🛡️ Privacy first

Everything runs client-side — there is no server to upload to. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. It's an installable PWA that keeps working offline once loaded, and the on-device AI needs no API key or inference server.

| `vp test`             | Run unit tests                                               |

## 🎨 Brand assets

CloakPDF follows the shared Cloakyard mark and installed-app icon contract in
**[docs/logo-spec.md](docs/logo-spec.md)**. The circular UI mark lives at
`public/cloakpdf-mark.svg`; installable PWA assets are generated from the
separate, full-bleed `public/icons/cloakpdf-app-icon.svg`.

After changing either source, run `pnpm generate-icons` and then
`pnpm generate-og`. The latter captures the real landing page so the social
preview stays aligned with the current logo and UI.

## 🤖 On-device AI

**Ask your PDF** runs a full retrieval-augmented Q&A pipeline in the browser — the model weights download once from Hugging Face, cache, and work offline after. For the architecture (LangGraph state machine, hybrid retrieval, model choices), see **[docs/local-ai.md](docs/local-ai.md)**.
