VadeKit

Most OCR and "PDF-to-Excel" tools are web apps — your documents go to someone's server to get processed. VadeKit runs the whole pipeline on your machine, offline. A real workflow, not just a converter Drop a scanned PDF. On-device OCR extracts the text, layout and tables. Each table opens as an editable spreadsheet with real formulas — not a flat CSV dump. Query across multiple files with an offline SQL engine, chart the results, and export a polished PDF report. A folder of scanned invoices becomes a queryable dataset and a shareable report in minutes, without a single upload. 30+ tools, one toolkit - Data: spreadsheet editor, JSON formatter, chart builder, offline SQL runner - Documents: rich text & markdown editors, doc/spreadsheet conversion, diff checker - Images: convert, resize, compress, background remover, watermarking - PDF: merge, split, compress, encrypt, watermark, OCR reader - Media: video/audio conversion - Files: archive manager - Productivity: kanban board, pomodoro timer, Gantt chart Everything is organised by what you're trying to do — not by which library happens to power it. What makes it different - No uploads, ever. Processing never leaves your device. - No AI APIs. No cloud OCR, no telemetry, no accounts. - One-time purchase, no subscription. A $24 licence covers the app forever. - Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux, same codebase. - Built for people who work with sensitive documents (contracts, financial records, scans with personal data) and can't — or don't want to — route them through a browser upload. If your current workflow is "screenshot a PDF into ChatGPT" or "upload to a random online converter," VadeKit is the offline alternative that does the same job without sending your files anywhere.
