PaperKnife is a professional-grade, open-source PDF utility designed with a "Zero-Server Architecture." Unlike other PDF tools that require you to upload sensitive documents to a remote server, PaperKnife performs every operation directly in your device's memory.

Your data never leaves your phone.

Core Features:

Built for the community, PaperKnife is fully open-source (AGPLv3) and contains no tracking, no analytics, and no advertisements. It's the ultimate tool for those who value their document privacy.

Note: This "Lite" store version excludes non-free Deep OCR binaries for FOSS compliance. Users who require full OCR support and advanced text extraction can download the Full Version directly from our GitHub repository.

WhatsNew:

- Fixed Monochrome icon scaling for perfect Material You symmetry.
- Synchronized all internal version strings for v1.0.9.
- Standardized store metadata formatting for reliable build indexing.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
