A small, private PDF studio

Beautiful PDFs, made on your machine.

Pick a template, fill in your data, download the PDF. The whole thing runs in your browser. No uploads, no accounts, no servers reading what you wrote.

One email when it’s ready. Nothing else.

The templates

Resume first. More on the way.

One opinionated template at launch, designed to look typeset, not generated. Three more land in the weeks after. Each one stays small enough to run in your browser and printable enough to send.

Quarterly note

Q1 2026 · Maya Adler

A shorter year, longer reading. Three projects shipped, two parked, one is patiently waiting for the right team.

The first half of the quarter went to overdue infrastructure work. The second half was spent in front of customers, which is where the writing in this note comes from.

  • Shipped: Cartograph 4.2, design tokens v2.
  • Parked: the in-app docs prototype.
  • Pending: the editorial reading mode.

How it works

Two clicks. And a little reading.

  1. Pick a template

    One opinionated layout per document type. No theme picker, no font dropdown, no rabbit hole.

  2. Fill in your data

    Forms, not editor surfaces. Sensible defaults. Nothing leaves your machine while you type.

  3. Download the PDF

    Typeset, printable, ready to send. The whole thing took two clicks and a little reading.

Pricing

Free is local. Pro is when you need a server.

The free tier runs on your machine; we never see your work and we don’t want to. Pro adds the features that genuinely need the cloud, opt-in per document.

$0 no card, no account

  • Runs entirely in your browser.
  • No tracking, no analytics, no account to make.
  • The Resume template and all core fields.
  • Export to PDF, optimised for print and screen.

Pro

When you want more than a printout.

TBA pricing at launch

  • Version history for every document.
  • Public share links, read-only.
  • AI assistance for drafting and rewrites.
  • ATS scoring for resumes.
  • Premium templates: Invoice, Certificate, Report, more.

Questions

The short answers to the obvious questions.

Where does my data go?
Nowhere. The free tier runs entirely in your browser. We don't see what you type, we don't store it on a server, and we don't run analytics on the inputs. The PDF you download is generated on your own machine.
What about the Pro features that need a server?
A few Pro features genuinely need the cloud — public share links, AI assistance, ATS scoring. Those are opt-in per document, never as a tax on the free experience.
When does it launch?
We'll write to the waitlist the day it's ready. The waitlist is the only list we keep; no marketing drip, no newsletter, no nothing else.
Will the free tier still be free after launch?
Yes. The free tier is local; the cost of running it is zero for us. We have no plan and no incentive to take it away.
What templates will I get at launch?
Resume on day one. Invoice, Certificate, and Report follow in the weeks after, with more after that. One opinionated layout per document, designed to be sent.
Can I import an existing resume?
Pro will support AI-assisted import from common formats. The free tier supports paste and field-by-field entry, which is fast once the form layout fits the shape of the document.
