Your AI's answer, as a finished Word document in your own template. Import Word, PDF and web pages as Markdown on your Mac, and send fewer tokens. Free for 30 days.
TL;DR
Give your AI model a clean and lean document. Get a finished Word document back, in your own template. TrimDown turns Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel and web pages into Markdown on your Mac, and turns your model's Markdown answer into a real .docx with your fonts, your styles, your header and your footer. Fewer tokens in, a deliverable out. Works with any AI model, on any document you start from. Free for 30 days, then one purchase. No subscription, no cloud, no account.
THE PROBLEM
You work with an AI model on real documents. A client sends a Word file or a PDF. You want the model's help, and then you must hand back a document that looks like your other documents. Today that costs you twice: the file goes in as pictures of its pages, so you pay for every page twice and reach the context limit early; and the answer comes back as chat text, so you rebuild the formatting by hand.
WHAT TRIMDOWN GIVES YOU
- A finished Word document, in your template. Paste the model's Markdown answer into TrimDown and export a .docx that uses your own Word template: fonts, heading styles, header, footer. Pictures and Mermaid diagrams come out as real pictures inside the file. Or export a PDF, or page images.
- A smaller, cleaner input. Import a Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, EPUB, CSV, TXT, JSON or XML file, a web page by its address, or a scanned picture read by on-device OCR. You get readable Markdown, and you send exactly that. Drop a file on the window to import it.
- More room in every conversation. Measured with Anthropic's token counting API on Claude Opus 5: our own 3,000-word specification with 22 screenshots fell from 45,458 tokens as a PDF to 6,788 as Markdown, 85% fewer, so about seven times as much of it fits in one conversation. A real 27-page analyst report: 66% fewer. A dense annual report, almost all text: 17% fewer. That is the honest floor, and we publish it. On Claude Haiku 4.5 every figure is higher still. The benchmark files and the counting script are on trimdown.app.
WHO IT IS FOR
Consultants, analysts, lawyers, researchers and managers who work with an AI model and must deliver a Word document. Developers and agent builders who pay for every token. Anyone on a paid AI plan who keeps reaching the usage limit because the files are big.
A DAY WITH TRIMDOWN
1. Import the client's file, or ask the local app to write it to your folder. Read the Markdown. Fix what needs fixing.
2. Copy it into your model. Work as you always do.
3. Paste the answer back. Export to Word in the client's template. Send it.
A SERIOUS EDITOR, TOO
Live preview with scroll sync. Mermaid diagrams drawn in the preview and embedded in the Word export. Find and replace. Spell check. Right-to-left text for Hebrew and Arabic. Fast on large documents. Zoom in or out.
PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
Every conversion runs on your Mac. No server, no account, no sync. TrimDown never uploads your documents. Only the words go to the model: the pictures stay on your Mac, and they go back into the Word file at the end.
WHAT TRIMDOWN IS NOT
Not a notes library. Not a phone app. Not a subscription. PDF import gives you the text and the tables, not the page layout. TrimDown does one job: your documents in, clean Markdown out, a real document back.
PRICE
Free to try for 30 days. Then a one-time purchase. No subscription.
Trim down the tokens. Keep the meaning.
