## 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.
