Hi everyone! I'm Nikita, the maker of Konomic 👋
I built this because I was tired of paying $15/month just to merge two PDFs.
The existing free tools are slow, showing ads everywhere, and keep your files
on their servers forever.
Konomic fixes all three:
🎯 Key features I'm most proud of:
• PDF Editor with TrueEdit — click any text in a PDF and retype it inline
(not a text-box overlay, actual text replacement). Most tools paywall this.
• E-Signatures — send, sign, download. Signers don't need an account.
Full audit trail, eIDAS-compliant.
• AI Chat + Summarize — ask questions about any PDF in natural language.
No extra cost.
• Privacy-first — files auto-delete in 1 hour, EU-only servers, GDPR compliant.
Never trained on your files.
💰 Pricing: Free tier covers 20 ops/day. Pro is $4.99/mo (vs Adobe $20/mo).
🛠 Tech stack: Next.js 16, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Celery, PyMuPDF, pdf.js,
Tesseract OCR. Solo-bootstrapped, deployed on a single Hetzner VPS.
Bonus: a GDPR-compliant contract generator (NDA, freelance, privacy policy)
pre-tuned for ES/DE/FR/EU jurisdictions. Freelancers — check it out.
