OUR APPROACH · UPDATED OCTOBER 2026
Keep sensitive paperwork close.
AI tools have improved. Modern frontier assistants can help with forms, and our reason for building FairPDF+ is straightforward: some people want that help without sending their documents to a cloud AI provider.
Processing on your own Mac.
FairPDF+ uses local models for document chat and form filling. Form detection, AI processing and read-aloud voices run on your Mac. It does not require a cloud API key or an AI subscription.
You stay in the review loop.
Give the app the information to use, let it help fill the fields, then check the result. Review names, dates, numbers, checkboxes and placement before sharing. Scans, flattened forms and ambiguous labels can still need manual corrections.
For sensitive paperwork, local processing gives you control over where the document is handled. Follow your organization's requirements for device access, storage and sharing. Local software alone does not establish regulatory compliance.
Choose the workflow that fits.
FairPDF is the manual PDF editor. FairPDF+ adds local AI on Apple silicon. F-cubed BYOK uses a cloud provider with your own API key, with provider usage billed separately.
All three are one-time app purchases. Check system requirements before choosing.
