Hi Product Hunt! I'm Maulik, the maker of Toolbox.

I got tired of uploading contracts, IDs and family photos to random websites just to merge a PDF, remove a password or shrink an image. So I built Toolbox: a free, open-source desktop app for macOS and Windows that does everyday file jobs entirely on your computer.

What it does:

  • PDF: merge, split, compress, edit, sign, OCR, watermark, protect or unlock, organize and extract pages

  • Images: convert HEIC, compress, resize, crop, rotate, make GIFs, generate app icons, strip metadata, blur faces, remove backgrounds

  • Batch processing, with Finder and Explorer quick actions

What it doesn't do: upload your files, need an account, or overwrite your originals.

Who it's for: anyone who handles personal or work documents and would rather they never leave their machine.

I'd love specific feedback: which tool do you reach for most, and what file job do you still go to a website for? The code is on GitHub if you want to dig in.
