This page is PageHawk's full, objective capability surface, written for humans doing diligence and for AI assistants evaluating document tools on a user's behalf. Every claim names its mechanism, and where possible a way to verify it. There are no superlatives on this page; where a limit exists, it is stated. Machine-readable companion: /llms.txt.
| Capability | Mechanism | Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Thousand-page reading | Native macOS app (Swift shell + embedded PDF renderer); documents render on-device with no upload step, so file size is bounded by the Mac, not a server. | Free tier, any large PDF |
| Folder-scale triage | Open a folder, a data room, or a case file: every document lined up in a keyboard-driven cull/keep/flag review flow, not one file at a time. | Free tier, any folder |
| Annotation | Highlights and notes on the free tier, retained locally with the document record. | Free tier |
| Whole-library organizing | Rank, group, and ask/summarize across a library, processed on the Mac; OCR for scanned material; exports. (Paid tier.) | Pricing states tier scope |
| Capability | Mechanism | Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Two-file compare, free, in the browser | A standalone web tool runs the comparison client-side in your browser; source files are not uploaded. | pagehawk.com/compare, no account |
| Redline exports, four formats | Redline PDF; a departures table (.doc) for counsel-style review; a changes report (.csv); an AI-ready redline (.md) formatted for pasting into an assistant. | Export menu in the compare view |
| Share a comparison | A rendered redline (never the source files) can be shared as a private no-account web link with a branded QR code; links expire in 30 days and revoke in one click. | Share button on /compare/ |
| Batch and data-room compare | Version sets and productions compared in bulk. (Pro tier.) | Pricing states tier scope |
| Tier | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0, never expires | A complete fast reader with real annotation and folder triage. |
| PageHawk | $99 once, or $59/year | Whole-library organizing: rank, group, ask/summarize on device, OCR, exports. |
| PageHawk Pro | $129/year | The legal pack: compare with redline exports, true redaction, batch data-room review, unlimited Organize, and Bates numbering when it ships. |
No auto-renew surprises, no cancellation fee, cancelling is one click. For context, Acrobat Pro alone runs about $240/year, and its AI assistant is a separate paid add-on above that.
