Folio

PDF chores, done locally.

See, split, merge and shrink PDFs without uploading them.

Most PDF chores (send only pages 1 to 5, shrink a scan so it fits an e-mail, join three files) push you toward a website that wants your document. Folio does them on your Mac, then shares straight to WhatsApp, Mail or AirDrop.
