What Satori actually does
A workspace, not a viewer
Open any PDF in a full browser tab and read the way you think — continuous, single-page, or two-page. Thumbnails, outlines, search, zoom, rotate, and dark-page filtering keep long documents calm and navigable.
- Continuous, single-page, and two-page modes
- Thumbnails, outline, and full-text search
- Dark-page filtering and keyboard shortcuts
Mark it up like you mean it
Highlight, underline, and strikethrough real PDF text, then add notes, ink, shapes, arrows, and stamps. Fill forms, place saved signatures, undo and redo freely, and export a flattened annotated PDF when you're done.
- Highlight, underline, notes, ink, and shapes
- Fill forms and place signatures or initials
- Export annotated PDF or annotation data
Chat with the document, get receipts
Open the side panel and chat with a PDF, summarize a section or the whole document, and follow every citation back to the exact page and passage. Turn dense reading into quizzes, flashcards, entity lists, and mind maps.
- Cited chat and section summaries
- Citations link back to page and passage
- Generate quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps
Rework the file itself
Reorder, rotate, duplicate, delete, insert, and merge pages, then compress or password-protect a copy — locally. Convert PDF pages to images, or build a new PDF from images and web pages.
- Reorder, merge, and edit pages
- Compress and password-protect copies
- Convert between PDFs and images
Your documents stay yours
PDFs, annotations, indexes, chats, and artifacts are stored on your device by default — no Satori account and no Satori telemetry. AI is optional; when you invoke it, content goes only to the provider you configured.
- On-device storage by default, no account
- AI providers are opt-in and user-configured
- Connect cloud providers or a local Ollama setup
