PDF Inspector
APK
PDF Inspector opens a PDF and shows what is actually inside it. Like a browser's developer tools, it parses each page's content stream into a navigable tree of elements (text blocks, vector paths and images) so you can find any single element, select it on the page or in the tree, and edit it. Edits go to a saved copy; your original file is never touched. Highlights: * DevTools-style element tree: every page is parsed into a structured tree of text, path and image nodes, grouped the way the PDF draws them. Switch between friendly labels and the raw content-stream operators. * Two-way selection: tap an element on the page or tap its row in the tree, and the other side highlights to match, with a clear bordered outline on the canvas. * Edit in place: move and resize an element, recolor its fill or stroke (entered as hex, with the element's color space shown), and retype text. When the original font lacks a character, re-encode the line with a fallback font, bundled or taken from your device or imported. Changes are written straight back into the content stream, with full undo and redo. * Surgical delete: remove exactly the element you picked by rewriting just its part of the content stream, leaving the rest of the page untouched. * Save a copy: write your edited PDF to a new file through the system file picker; the source document is left unchanged. * Smooth viewing: pan and pinch-zoom, fit to width or height, a global zoom that carries across pages, and a full-screen mode. * Dockable inspector: the inspector panel docks to the side in landscape or the bottom in portrait, can be resized, and can be made transparent to see the page through it. * Material You: Material 3 design with dynamic color on Android 12+, light / dark / system themes and a choice of accent colors. Private and open: * Open source, no accounts, no telemetry. * No network access and no storage permission: files are opened and saved through Android's Storage Access Framework, so the app only ever touches the documents you explicitly pick. PDF Inspector works with the drawing primitives a PDF already contains: select, move, resize, recolor, retype and delete them. It is not a word-processor-style text editor, so lines do not reflow, but when the original font is missing a character you can re-encode the text with a fallback font, bundled or taken from your device or imported.

All content is local on the device. • Optional template for new pages. • Backup/import pages to/from ZIP file. • And more, see the help: https://gitlab.com/ferreum/pto/-/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/help.md Origin This is a (now distant) fork of billthefarmer's Diary: https://github.com/billthefarmer/diary PTO has a lot of internal and UI changes. It focuses on usage as a general organizer instead of a Diary, though it can still be used as such, if you don't need the removed features. Most notably the markdown view has been removed, so no inline media can be displayed. See the help file for more differences: https://gitlab.com/ferreum/pto/-/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/help.md#origin

This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could be a e.g. boarding-pass for your next flight, a coupon for a nice hot beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are a lot of possibilities. Basically it is a replacement for a piece of paper or plastic you would normally have to carry with you - so lets save some trees and reduce waste! How does it work? There are so called espass or pkpass files - you can open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them via email or get an Download-option. The most important content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC & PDF417which authorizes you most of the time - but it also has other interesting content like a description - often a time ( that you now can add to your calendar ) - often also locations ( to give you directions ) - just try It out! The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!

Pinyin Web & EPUB and topolects
APK
This browser app adds Mandarin Pinyin, or Cantonese, Teochew or Wenzhou pronunciation guides, to any Chinese website or EPUB file or to the clipboard, to help people who are learning Chinese to read articles. You can also tap on any word to see an English translation of that word. Changing the website's layout to add Pinyin is not perfect (some websites work better than others), but it still works a lot of the time. For privacy, this app does NOT use any third-party server to fetch or process your text: pinyin is added by your device only. This also means you must be able to fetch the article via your own network connection, or provide the text yourself, before this app can show it. Can integrate with Pleco or Hanping. Has 3lines mode (if you must), Bookmarks, Highlighting and PDF export, Change text size across all pages, Dark mode. Lightweight and some features work on very old devices too.

Pitak — Personal Library
APK
Pitak (पिटक) is a single-user, local-first app for managing a personal book library. It tracks the books you own, who has borrowed them, and a wishlist of books you want — all on your device, with no account and no developer server. The name comes from the Buddhist canon (the Tipiṭaka, the "three baskets"). Pitak is built for home libraries, community lending shelves, and anyone who wants to know where their books are. PRIVATE BY DESIGN * Fully offline and local-first. There is no developer backend, no analytics, no telemetry, and the app never "phones home." * Your borrower and loan records are encrypted at rest and gated behind your device biometric / PIN. * The only network access is for things you explicitly start yourself: looking up a book by ISBN, or publishing your own catalogue to your own GitHub account. Nothing is sent anywhere else. * No advertising. No tracking. No required sign-up. FEATURES * Library — catalogue the books you own, by ISBN barcode scan or manual entry. Bilingual titles (native script plus optional transliteration). * Wishlist — keep a "want to buy" list, scan or type entries, export it. * Borrowers and loans — record who has which book, with lent and due dates. This data is encrypted and unlocked with your biometric. * Covers — fetch cover art automatically, or set your own with the camera or gallery (images are downscaled on device). * Backup and restore — encrypted, portable backups you control, protected by a passphrase you set. * Export and publish — export to JSON or CSV, or publish a self-contained web page of your library to your own GitHub Pages, with no third-party dependencies. * Community libraries — share and merge book lists with other Pitak users by exchanging a file or scanning a QR code, in person. No server involved. THIS IS THE F-DROID EDITION This build contains no proprietary Google libraries. Barcode and QR scanning use ZXing; cover capture uses the system camera and an open-source cropper. There is no ML Kit and no Google Play Services dependency. Pitak is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
