RightClickOCR turns scanned PDFs into searchable documents straight from Finder — powered by Apple’s on-device Vision engine. No cloud. No accounts. Your files never leave your Mac.
Requires macOS 26 or later
Adds an invisible text layer to your scan so ⌘F just works. The page looks exactly the same — the file is replaced safely in place, and whole folders can be processed at once.
Builds a clean white-page copy with the recognized text re-placed from the scan — table grids included when detected. Saved beside your original, which is never touched.
Lives in Finder’s right-click menu, the Services menu, and Quick Actions. No windows to manage, no app to babysit — a small progress bubble tells you when it’s done.
All recognition runs on your Mac with Apple’s Vision framework. Sandboxed, with access only to folders you approve. No analytics, no telemetry, nothing uploaded — ever.
RightClickOCR collects no data. No file contents, no metadata, no usage analytics — nothing leaves your Mac. That’s the whole policy, but you can read the long version too.
