Three takes, side by side, scored on what changed between them. The keeper is a glance, not a re-read. Illustrative view.

How it works

See the whole set, not one file at a time.

Reading a big stack of documents is slow because you can open only one at a time. PageHawk lays the whole set out at once, compares and scores it, and takes you straight to what matters.

  1. 1
    GatherDrag in a folder, a data room, a case file, or a stack of PDF versions. PageHawk reads them all and lays them out together.
  2. 2
    CompareEvery item, side by side, scored on what matters: sharpness and open eyes for photos, what changed between versions for documents. Near-duplicates are grouped.
  3. 3
    KeepKeyboard-first culling, fast enough that you never reach for the mouse. Mark the keepers, and export them where they need to go.

What it does

Everything you need to choose. Nothing you don't.

One pass over any pile of almost-the-same, with the slow parts done for you and the call left to you.

Side by side

Every version in view at once, at full resolution, so the differences are visible instead of remembered.

Scored for you

Sharpness and open eyes for photos. What changed, page by page, for documents. The score informs the choice; it never makes it.

Near-duplicates grouped

A burst of forty becomes a handful of stacks, each holding its best frame, so you review groups, not frames.

Keyboard-first

Keep, cut, and move through the pile without reaching for the mouse. Fast enough to clear a shoot in one sitting.

Photos, PDFs, drafts

RAW and JPEG, PDF versions, and common document drafts. One tool for every pile, not one tool per file type.

Export your picks

Send the keepers on to your library or a folder when you're done. PageHawk fits a pass, then gets out of the way.

Version diff for documents

Line up versions of a contract or a deck and see exactly what moved, so you keep the right one with confidence.

On-device, private

No account, no cloud, no upload. The files you're choosing between are often the ones you most need to keep private.

Buy it once

One price, no subscription. No monthly tax for a tool you reach for a few times a month.

What you can sort

One tool for every kind of pile.

Anywhere you have many documents and need the right one, PageHawk is faster than your eye alone.

PDFs & documentsHundreds of PDFs in a folder, opened and compared at once. Jump to the page that differs, the clause that changed, the figure you need.
Versions & draftsLine up versions of a contract, a deck, or a proposal and see exactly what changed, page by page, so you keep the right one.
PhotosCull a wedding or a shoot in one pass. Every frame scored, near-duplicates grouped, keepers exported to your library.
Built for people who live in documents

Cull a shoot, compare takes, and keep the best frame. Every frame scored, near-duplicates grouped.

Sample documents are real public records (court opinions, SEC and central-bank reports, arXiv papers, national-archive scans). In PageHawk they would be your own files, read and scored on your Mac.

Privacy

Your files never leave your drive.

PageHawk reads, scores, and compares everything on your Mac. It does not upload your photos, pages, or drafts. There is no account, and no cloud to opt out of.

The work you are choosing between is often the work you most need to keep private: client photos, unsigned contracts, drafts no one else should see. They stay where they are.

Read on your Mac. Scored on your Mac. Kept on your drive.
Why PageHawk

Reading the pile is the slow part. PageHawk is the fast part.

PageHawk
One pass over a whole document set, compared and scored on device. Keyboard-first, one-time price, nothing uploaded.
Preview
Free and on every Mac, but one file at a time. No way to lay a whole set side by side, compare versions, or move through it fast.
PDF Expert and other readers
Built for reading and marking up a single PDF. Not for taking a collection of hundreds and finding what matters.
Adobe Acrobat
Powerful and heavy, subscription-priced, cloud-tied. Overkill for reading and comparing a pile on your own Mac.
Doing it by eye
Free, and exactly where the hours go. Open one file, close it, open the next, and lose the thread by document fifty.
Questions

The honest answers.

Does PageHawk upload my photos or documents?

No. Everything is read and compared on your Mac. No file is uploaded, and there is no account to create.

Does it decide for me?

No. PageHawk scores and groups to make the choice fast, but the keep and cut calls are yours. The scores inform you; they do not overrule you.

What file types does it read?

Photos including RAW, PDFs, and common document drafts. If there is a format you live in, send it to us and we will look at supporting it.

How large a collection can it handle?

PageHawk is built for big sets: a folder of hundreds of PDFs, a full data room, a literature pile. It reads and compares them on your Mac, so the limit is your disk and memory, not a server.

One price, no subscription?

$79, once. No monthly tax, no account. Buy it, keep it, use it on your Mac.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac on macOS 26 with Apple Silicon. Nothing else, and no connection required to do the work.

Yours to keep

Pick the winner in a fraction of the time.

$79, one time. Cull photos, compare versions, and keep the best, all on your Mac, with nothing uploaded.
