Hi there, I'm Vel, the maker behind Collate! Collate started from my personal frustration dealing with information overload and fragmented digital experiences. As someone deeply passionate about learning and exploring new fields, I found traditional PDF readers limiting and cloud-based AI solutions invasive for sensitive information. I wanted a tool that could respect my privacy, streamline knowledge management, and leverage cutting-edge AI—all while running entirely offline. Collate is my first step towards rethinking how we interact with content. By combining local AI inference with intuitive design, Collate gives you full control over your PDFs, enabling seamless summarization, highlighting, and interactive Q\&A, completely privately. I built Collate because I believe great software should enhance our intellect without compromising our privacy or freedom. It's designed for learners, researchers, and creators—anyone who values knowledge and autonomy. Thanks for giving it a try—I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
