Read less. Know more — privately. Pipelyn turns any PDF, document, or video into
clean text plus a deep, scored analysis — read by your own local model, with
nothing leaving your machine. Drop in files or a whole folder, paste text, or
fetch a YouTube URL; get a grounded judgment you can keep, sort, and search.

## What it does

- **Everything in, one pipeline** — PDFs (born-digital *and* scanned, via
  fully-offline OCR), text, markdown, whole folders, pasted text, and YouTube
  links all normalize to the same clean, verbatim text.
- **Deep triage, not a throwaway summary** — your local model returns a grounded
  multi-paragraph description plus five reasoned 1–5 scores (depth, novelty,
  actionability, credibility, relevance) and an overall — a structured judgment
  you can sort and filter on.
- **Reads the whole thing** — map-reduce chunking lets a modest local model
  judge a book-length PDF on its full content, not its first page.
- **Keeps everything** — every result is saved to an on-disk library,
  content-hash deduped (a renamed file is still "already done"), and reopenable
  instantly with no re-run.

## Private by architecture

No server, no account, no telemetry. The only network calls are to YouTube (for
captions) and your own local Ollama — the OCR model even ships bundled, so scans
are recognized with zero network. You bring your own free local model, so there
is no subscription and no per-token bill. Privacy isn't a setting; it's the
design.

## Availability

Pipelyn is a cross-platform desktop app (Mac, Windows, Linux). Signed public
installers are on the way — the download isn't ready yet, so check back shortly.
You'll need Ollama installed and a capable-enough machine; deep triage of long
documents takes minutes — it's thorough, not instant.
