About Manuki: AI PDF Editor & OCR
Manuki is a PDF editor and document reader that keeps your files on your phone. No account needed, and it works offline.
OPEN ALMOST ANY DOCUMENT
PDF, DOCX and DOC, XLSX and XLS, PPTX and PPT, OpenDocument (ODT, ODS, ODP), RTF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV, EPUB books, MSG email files, and 46 source-code file types with syntax highlighting. One app instead of six.
A REAL PDF TOOLBOX
• Highlight, underline, strike through and draw freehand
• Sign with your finger and place the signature anywhere
• Add text, shapes and images to a page
• Fill in form fields
• Add, delete, reorder and rotate pages
• Merge several PDFs into one
• Redact text so that it is really gone — Manuki reopens the file it just saved, pulls the text out again and shows you what survived
• Search inside the document, including scanned pages
• Print or share, and save a copy as PDF, DOCX, TXT or CSV
EDIT AND SAVE, WITHOUT SURPRISES
Edit PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV and source code. When a format cannot be written back exactly as it came, Manuki tells you before you start — never silent damage to your file.
READ TEXT OUT OF A PHOTO (OCR)
Photograph a page or open a scan and Manuki reads the text out of it, on your device, with nothing uploaded. Seventeen language options: Latin-script languages, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Georgian, Armenian, Turkish and Vietnamese. Save the result as a searchable PDF and the text stays findable.
AI THAT USES YOUR OWN KEY
Add your key for Google AI, OpenAI or Anthropic and Manuki can summarise a document, answer a question about the part you selected, rewrite a paragraph, translate it, or find every mention of something.
You choose the provider. You pay them directly, at their price. What you send goes from your device straight to them — it never passes through us. The AI features do nothing at all until you add a key, and everything else works without one.
PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK
• Your documents never reach us. We run no server and you have no account with us.
• For Latin-script OCR you choose: Google's ML Kit, which sends Google usage statistics (never your text), or Tesseract, which sends nothing.
• Crash reports stay off until you switch them on, and you can switch them off again.
• Lock the app with your fingerprint or screen lock, and keep sensitive files in a locked folder.
• Works offline. The internet is used for the AI provider you chose, to download an OCR language, and for crash reports or ML Kit only if you allow them.
ALSO INSIDE
• 26 interface languages
• dark and light themes
• pinch to zoom in every viewer
• select and translate text
• page counter and draggable scrollbar
• spreadsheets with formatting, charts and frozen panes
• presentation viewer
• create new documents, spreadsheets and PDFs
