Formattery is a file converter for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that runs entirely on-device. Images, PDFs, video transcoding, and OCR — no upload, no cloud, no account. Built solo. Stack is Core Image, ImageIO, AVFoundation, PDFKit, and Vision — Apple frameworks all the way down, which is also why some niche formats just aren't supported.
Hey PH — maker here. This is the Mac launch plus the OCR and side-by-side video features. iOS shipped a while back; the Mac app and the new features are what's new today.
The pitch I keep coming back to: most file converters either upload to a server or charge a subscription for what is, frankly, a glorified format conversion. Formattery does it locally for one upfront price. That's the whole differentiator.
Trade-off: I'm bound to what Apple's frameworks support, so a few formats just aren't there. If you hit one, tell me and I'll add it if there's a sensible path.
I would be able to upload images to Cloudflare and post blogs from my phone directly.
Best of luck with the app mate!
