## About

PocketWebTools puts local AI tools in one Mac app. Hold a key and speak into any text field, hear any selection read aloud, or rewrite it in place, in any app.

Ten more tools sit in the same window. Chat with a local model, even offline. Transcribe files of any length, your microphone or the audio the Mac is playing, with speaker labels. Edit a video by editing its transcript, or cut a long one into captioned clips. Clean up noisy recordings, remove backgrounds at full size, upscale photos at full resolution, extract text from PDFs and scans, hide names, emails and card numbers, and speak any text, in your voice if you like.

Everything runs on your Mac. Your files, chats, transcripts and recordings never leave it, and once a model has downloaded, everything keeps working with Wi-Fi off. You download only the models you want, and the app marks which ones fit your Mac's memory, with tiers for 8, 16 and 32 GB.

Pay once: one license key for up to 3 Macs, free lifetime updates, no account and no subscription. 14-day money-back guarantee.
