## Promotional Text
Read, highlight, comment, and review local PDFs without accounts, cloud upload, or heavyweight document management.
## Description
I Hate PDFs is a small native macOS app for reading and reviewing local PDF files.
Open a PDF, highlight important text, add comments, write free-text notes, and review everything from a compact comments sidebar. The app writes standard PDF annotations so your saved files can be opened in common PDF readers like Preview and Adobe Acrobat.
The app is intentionally lightweight. It uses native macOS document behavior, keeps your PDFs on your Mac, and does not require an account.
Features:
- Open local PDF files from disk, Finder, drag and drop, or recent documents.
- Read with native PDFKit scrolling, zoom, fit-to-width, fit-to-page, page navigation, and search.
- Highlight selected text without opening an unnecessary comment box.
- Add selected-text comments, underline comments, and free-text notes.
- Press Return to save comments and Shift-Return to insert a new line.
- Review annotations in a comments sidebar with search, filters, replies, edit, delete, and click-to-navigate.
- Customize highlight and comment colors from Settings.
- Save annotations directly into a PDF after an overwrite warning, or use Save As for a separate annotated copy.
- Share the saved PDF through the native macOS share sheet.
Privacy:
I Hate PDFs does not collect analytics, does not require sign-in, and does not upload your documents. Your PDFs stay on your Mac unless you choose to share them.
