Packbit
The offline desktop utility for the everyday file jobs
PackBit is a privacy-first toolkit for everyday file work. Batch compress videos, convert across 100+ format combinations, transfer files between your phone and laptop offline, and use focused PDF tools, all locally on Windows and Mac. No uploads, no subscriptions, no waiting on servers. Buy it once and keep it forever.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Packbit because I got tired of the same tiny workflow every time I needed to do something with a file:
Find a tool → upload the file → wait → download it → find another tool for the next step.
Compressing a video, converting a format, fixing a PDF, or moving a file to my phone shouldn't require opening another website or handing the file to someone else's server.
Packbit puts those small jobs next to each other and keeps them local. Your files stay on your machine, processing happens locally, and transfers happen directly between your devices.
There are already great free tools for each individual job. Packbit isn't trying to replace all of them. It's for people who are tired of stitching them together.
I built it as a small, focused desktop utility for Windows and Mac. One purchase, no subscription.
Would love to hear which file workflow currently annoys you the most.
