Hey Product Hunt! š
I'm Anis, the maker of SmartApplets ā and I want to be upfront about why I built this.
I kept hitting the same wall: I'd need to merge a PDF, open iLovePDF or Smallpdf, and immediately get a 'you've hit your daily limit' or a watermark on my file. For something as basic as combining two documents, that felt wrong.
So I built SmartApplets ā starting with the PDF tools I use most:
š Merge PDF ā combine files, pick specific pages, unlock password-protected PDFs inline
āļø Split PDF ā extract pages, split by range, download as ZIP
šļø Compress PDF ā five quality presets with before/after size comparison
The one rule I set from day one: **files never leave your device.** Everything runs 100% in the browser using pdf-lib and PDF.js. No uploads, no server, no data retention ā ever. You can verify it yourself in Chrome DevTools ā Network tab.
No sign-ups. No watermarks. No file size limits. No daily caps.
I'd genuinely love your feedback ā especially from anyone who works with sensitive documents (legal, finance, healthcare) where privacy actually matters.
What PDF workflow is most broken for you right now? I'm building the next batch of tools and your input shapes what comes next. š
