Client build A one time purchase PDF toolkit for Windows and macOS that does its work offline. The site had to sell a desktop app to people who are tired of subscriptions. Industry Desktop PDF toolkit Delivery 8 build days Year 2026 Scope Site and interactive demos ## About the Client ReamPDF is a one time purchase PDF toolkit for Windows and macOS, built by a solo founder. It merges, organises, compresses and converts, and it does every one of those on your own machine. It sells against Adobe Acrobat, which rents. ## The Challenge The two things worth paying for are both absences. Your file never leaves your computer, and you never pay again. Neither photographs. A screenshot of a PDF tool looks like every other PDF tool, and a desktop app cannot be tried in a browser, so there was nothing to show and nothing to demo. The page had to sell not being watched, to somebody who is tired of renting Adobe. ## The Solution So the marketing page became the demo. Merge, organise, compress and convert each open and answer when you click them, in the browser, before anything is installed. Eight themes repaint the preview live, so somebody who will live in this app all day sees it in their own taste first. The privacy argument got the quietest section on the site, because a near empty field is the only honest way to draw an absence. 01 The product ## Four tools, and the page runs them A desktop app cannot be tried in a browser, so the marketing page became the demo. Each tool opens and answers when you click it. - 01 Merge - 02 Organize and split - 03 Compress - 04 Convert Home · Themes · Comparison 02 The craft ## Eight themes, before you download anything Four light and four dark, and the preview repaints in whichever you pick. Somebody who will live in this app all day gets to see it in their own taste first. - Light - Catppuccin Latte - Sakura - Evergreen - Dark - Dracula - Nord - Midnight 03 The hard part ## The best thing about it is what it never does Your file does not leave your machine, and you pay once. Privacy is an absence, and nothing on a screen looks like a file staying still. The page had to make that absence read as the reason to buy. ## The Results ReamPDF sells on two app stores with no subscription and no account. The founder redrew the app's own interface after the site, and the logo came from us. Eight build days, spread across four months of calendar, and the site has run itself since. ## What It Runs On Short, and that is the point. The product's promise is that nothing leaves your machine, so the site selling it needs almost no back end: three Cloudflare Functions, a CMS for the blog, and the rest is interface. No accounts, no database, no session store. AltSpeak's build wired in twenty services. This one wired in eleven, and the restraint is the argument rather than a shortcut. - React 19 The whole site, including the four tools that run inside the page. - React Router Every route, including the comparison landers that do the SEO work. - Tailwind CSS The design system, with the eight themes layered over it. - Framer Motion Every transition, and the scroll work down the long page. - OGL The WebGL dot grid and the click spark behind the hero. - dnd-kit Drag to reorder, in the organise demo that runs in the browser. - Lucide The icon set, one weight throughout. - Sanity The blog, so the client publishes without calling us. - Cloudflare Pages Hosted at the edge, deployed on every push to master. - Cloudflare Functions Three: the blog read, the contact form and the subscribe form. - Vite The build, and the dev server the whole thing was drawn against. ## Key Stats - Brief to launch 8 build days, spread over four months of calendar - App stores 2, and no subscription on either - Themes 8, four light and four dark, repainting the preview live - Tools demoed in the browser 4: merge, organise, compress, convert - Site back end 3 Cloudflare Functions, no database - Accounts needed to buy 0 Counted in the ReamPDF codebase, August 2026 ## Want us to build Yours?
