Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Luka, an IT student from Slovenia. I built Folio PDF because I was tired of uploading my documents to random websites just to do something simple like merge two PDFs. The core idea is simple - everything runs locally on your Mac. No need to upload, make an account, no subscriptions and no internet is required. Your files will never leave your computer. It does everything you'd expect from a PDF toolkit: merge, split, compress, rotate and reorder pages visually, batch process entire folders, export to images, and convert Word documents to PDF. Priced at €12.99 one-time. This is my first shipped product and I'd genuinely love your feedback. Happy to answer any questions!
