Desktopfree

mac-ocr is a free, open-source macOS command-line tool that extracts text from images and PDFs and creates searchable PDFs, running entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework so nothing is uploaded. It can process large PDFs page by page and merge multiple files into one searchable PDF. It's aimed at macOS users and developers who want local OCR without relying on cloud services.
