Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Matt, the solo maker behind Lokaltools.
It started from a real frustration at work — I needed everyday tools like PDF editing, image conversion, and chart building, but every option either uploaded my files to a server or required signing up to something. I work with sensitive data, so that's a hard no.
So I built an alternative: 100+ tools that run entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. PDFs, images, video, audio, text, dev utilities, and advanced charts — nothing ever leaves your device. Not one byte.
The chart tools just launched as a native offline desktop app on both PC (Microsoft Store) and Mac (App Store) — perfect for anyone whose IT policy or data sensitivity rules out cloud tools.
It's free forever with ads. The desktop app is a one-time purchase of USD 24.99. No subscription, no sign-up needed for the web version.
Would love to hear what tools you wish existed — still building! AMA 🙌
