Local text extraction

Local and read-only
Local and read-only
Documents stay on disk
Files are read from your machine. PageWise does not upload your PDFs or images to a server.
Only text goes to your model
Extracted text is sent to the LLM provider you configure — nothing else leaves without your setup.
You own the keys
Provider credentials live in a local store. There is no hosted account or shared API key.
FAQ
Which AI model does it use?
You bring your own: choose a provider in Settings, enter an API key and model id, then test and save. Keys stay in tauri-plugin-store.
Do my files leave my computer?
No. PDFs and images are processed locally. Only extracted text is sent to the model provider you configure.
What do I need for OCR?
Install Tesseract on your system (for example brew install tesseract tesseract-lang on macOS). PageWise shells out to it for scanned pages and images.
How is this different from Storage Agent?
Storage Agent investigates S3-compatible storage read-only. PageWise is for local documents — PDFs, OCR, and page-wise Q&A.
What platforms does it run on?
A Tauri 2 desktop app built with React. Development targets macOS, Windows, and Linux. The project is MIT-licensed.
