Collate

Collate is a local AI app for working with PDFs on Mac that doesn’t require an internet connection. Everything runs on your device, with no file uploads to the cloud—useful when handling confidential documents.

Chat with PDFs

Ask questions about any loaded PDF and get answers in a conversational format. This helps when you need to extract details quickly instead of reading an entire document.

• Q&A over reports, research papers, contracts, and long manuals
• Dialog-style responses for faster review and clarification

Summaries and key takeaways

Collate can generate short summaries and highlight the main points from long PDFs in seconds. You get a condensed overview and clear takeaways that can support preparation and decision-making.

• Quick summaries for hundreds of pages
• Key insights to prep for meetings, exams, or presentations

Fully offline

Collate runs entirely locally on Mac.

• No registration required
• No ongoing server requests
• No limits on the number of queries
