I built a local-first PDF to Excel converter because I didn't trust the cloud tools
Hey everyone,
I've been working on a tool to solve a personal pain point: converting bank statements to Excel without uploading sensitive financial data to a random server.
Most tools (like AutoEntry) are expensive, and the free online converters are privacy nightmares.
So I built PDF to Excel HQ.
It runs a local parsing engine in the browser.
Offline Mode: Your PDF never leaves your device.
Cloud Mode: Uses AI for messy scans (optional).
I'm looking for early feedback on the parsing accuracy. If you have a messy statement, I'd love to see if this breaks or succeeds.

Let me know what you think!
Local-first is why I would try this. Bank statements should not leave the machine, and the cloud path should stay off unless someone turns it on.
