What is Paperwren?

Paperwren is a free PDF reader and toolkit for Android and Windows, with a Mac build for Apple silicon. It also views Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, Markdown, CSV, CBZ comics, text, code and images. It views these files but does not edit them.

It does the PDF jobs people usually do on websites, right on your device: fill and sign forms (type, draw or upload a signature, add initials, a date or a stamp), merge PDFs, split or extract pages, reorder and rotate pages, turn photos of paper into a clean scanned PDF, add page numbers or a watermark, and add or remove a password. Each tool saves a new copy, so your original file never changes.

There is no network access, no account, no ads and no tracking. The Android app asks for zero permissions. Available in English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic and Urdu. Free and open source under the MIT license.
