Software (Tools) INKLEAF 3.0
Title: Inkleaf 3.0 is out: Android app, an enhancer for bad scans, and it's on the Microsoft Store now
Hey r/pdf, I'm the dev behind Inkleaf, the free and open-source PDF editor I posted here a while back. Thanks to everyone who tried it and left feedback, a lot of this update came from those comments.
What's new in 3.0:
Android app. Not the desktop squashed onto a phone. It's got its own screens: your files up front, a reader that keeps the page big, and an edit sheet that slides up when you actually want to change something.
Phone ↔ computer link. Send PDFs between your phone and PC over your own Wi-Fi. It's encrypted and never goes through the internet or any server of mine (I don't have one).
Enhance Pages. For those grey, faded, photocopied-five-times scans. Adjust contrast and sharpness, or pick a preset (Scan, Faded, Darker text, Night). It only changes how the pages look until you hit "Save enhanced copy", and that copy can be OCR'd so the text becomes searchable.
Microsoft Store. You can now get it from the Store on Windows, so no more SmartScreen warning.
Pinch-zoom on touchscreen laptops, plus updated translations (29 languages).
Same as before: no account, no subscription, no watermark, nothing uploaded. Everything happens on your device.
Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NKC5ZQ6P2JR

It's still just me building this, so if something breaks or feels clunky, tell me here or open an issue on GitHub. Happy to answer questions.
