🧩 PrivyPDF

PrivyPDF is a lightweight, privacy-first desktop PDF editor built using Python, Tkinter, and PyPDF.
It allows you to merge multiple PDFs or delete pages from a PDF — all directly on your local computer, without uploading anything to the cloud.

💡 Motivation

I created PrivyPDF because I didn’t want to use online PDF editing tools that require uploading personal or confidential documents.
Even though most sites claim they don’t store uploaded files, we can never be entirely sure.
So I built a local tool that keeps everything private and secure on my own computer.
