Download for AndroidSee how it works

Your documents stay on your device.

Version 1.0.0 · Android 8.0 (Oreo) and newer

Edit without the learning curve

Tap a tool, touch the page, done. No dense menus or desktop habits to relearn.

Private on-device processing

Your files are handled locally on your Android device, not on a remote editing server.

Built for work on the go

Sign a contract in the car park or fix an invoice between meetings — one-handed.

Features

Everything a PDF asks of you, on a phone.

Edit & annotate

Say it on the page, not in a follow-up email

Drop text anywhere, draw with the pen, and highlight the lines that matter. Undo and redo keep every experiment safe, so you can mark up a document without worrying about wrecking it.

  • Add text anywhere
  • Freehand pen drawing
  • Highlight key content
  • Undo & redo

Sign

Sign it now instead of finding a printer

Draw your signature with a finger or stylus, place it where it belongs, and send the document back the same minute you got it.

  • Handwritten signature
  • Place and resize
  • Signed entirely on device

Organize

Fix the page order before anyone notices

See every page as a thumbnail. Drag to reorder, rotate a sideways scan, and delete the page that never belonged.

  • Reorder by drag
  • Rotate scanned pages
  • Delete pages

Combine

Turn five attachments into one clean file

Pick the PDFs, set the order, and merge them into a single document that is easy to read and easier to send.

  • Merge multiple PDFs
  • Choose the order
  • One file to share

Export & share

Finish in a new file, share in a tap

Export your edits into a new PDF and send it through the Android share sheet — mail, chat, storage, whatever you already use.

  • Export to a new PDF
  • Android share sheet
  • Save to your device

How it works

From file to finished in three taps.
