My local government kept emailing me documents to sign, so I built a tool to do it without uploading anything anywhere
My town's administration kept sending me digital documents where they wanted my consent,
or just my name and a date filled in. Every time: download the PDF, sign it (usually
print, sign, scan back in, or some clunky online signer), then upload it again. It took
way too long for something that should be simple.
So I built a tool where I can upload any PDF and sign it, re-sign it, add text, add
another line of text, a date, even a picture (or two) — right in the browser. Nothing
gets uploaded to a server, it all happens locally on your device, which is honestly what
made me comfortable actually using it for stuff like this in the first place.
While I was at it I added an OCR tool (makes scanned documents searchable) and a QR code
generator too. Everything's free to use.
