The problem with PDFs

When you upload a PDF, AI tools process the whole thing. Layout, headers, footers, whitespace. Most of that isn't useful.

Before: upload a PDF

A 3-page PDF eats into your limits fast.
Layout, headers, whitespace. Mostly noise.

After: ContextDrop

Clean text only.
More room for your actual question.

Questions

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Yes. ContextDrop uses Apple Vision for on-device OCR when it detects image-only pages.

Does it upload my PDFs anywhere?

No. All processing happens locally on your Mac. The app makes zero network calls.

What about tables?

Tables are converted to a clean text format that AI tools read natively. Works well for most business documents, forms, and reports.

What macOS version do I need?

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

Is there a subscription?

No. One-time purchase. Pay once, use forever.
