Show HN: I made PDF tools that work with no internet – full offline PWA

https://filegod.app
1•honzabroski•1h ago
Few days ago, I posted fileGOD - browser-based PDF tools where files never leave your device. Got some good feedback, but I buried the lede.

The part I should have led with: fileGOD works completely offline. Open it once, install it as a PWA, turn off your Wi-Fi, and compress/merge/split PDFs or convert images. Everything still works. No spinner, no "connection lost" error. Just works.

I haven't found a single competitor that does this. iLovePDF, Smallpdf, PDF24 — they all need an active connection because they process on their servers. fileGOD processes everything locally via WASM, so there's literally nothing to phone home for. Use cases where this actually matters:

- Airplane, working on contracts - School with garbage Wi-Fi (we give free accounts to .edu emails) - Government office with restricted network - Field work — construction sites, rural clinics, anywhere with spotty signal - You just don't want Adobe's 23$/month subscription for compressing one PDF

30+ tools, 25 languages, install it and forget you need internet.

filegod.app — try it in airplane mode.

Pdf24 has been supporting offline usage since forever and works like a charm. What you state in your post in simply wrong and misleading. I guess the "vibe" got too heated...
