CapDrop
Turn the pages you own into one searchable PDF
CapDrop captures whatever's on your screen — course slides, ebook viewers, scanned pages — page by page, then OCRs each one locally and binds them into one searchable PDF you can Ctrl-F. 100% local, no uploads, no subscription. For content you own. Windows, $19 one-time, 7-day free trial.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built CapDrop to solve my own problem: I had folders full of screenshots — lecture slides, PDFs I own, scanned pages — and none of them were searchable. Just dead images.
CapDrop captures each page automatically (set a region + a page key + an interval and walk away), runs OCR locally on your PC, and binds everything into ONE searchable PDF. You can Ctrl-F the whole thing.
A few principles I stuck to:
• 100% local — nothing is ever uploaded
• For content you OWN — it does not bypass DRM
• One-time $19, no subscription
There's a real searchable sample on the site you can Ctrl-F yourself. Would genuinely love your honest feedback — what's missing, what's confusing.
