Digitize physical book highlights with a 1984 terminal vibe. Scan pages 100% offline, save notes, and export directly to .md markdown. No ads, tracking, or accounts. PageGrabber '84 is a mobile app for avid readers who want to digitize highlights from physical books. Designed with a retro 1984 terminal aesthetic—complete with CRT scanlines, a dark Catppuccin Mocha palette, and green monospace text—it brings a vintage feel to modern on-device OCR technology. CORE FEATURES Clean, Full-Screen Camera: Minimal friction and highly optimized process for capturing your highlights with minimal impact on your reading flow. 100% Offline OCR: Text recognition runs entirely on your device using ML Kit. No internet, no servers, no data collection. Native Text Selection: Long-press and drag to select specific passages, just like standard text selection. Highlight & Annotate: Save selected text instantly or add your own notes before saving. Capture Whole Pages: Save the entire OCR output with a single tap. Organized Library: Group your highlights by book title and author. Obsidian-Ready Export: Export a single book as a Markdown file, or bulk export your entire library as a ZIP file. Multilingual Support: 13 UI languages automatically detected from your device locale. Whether you are a student, researcher, or a fan of personal knowledge management systems (PKM) like Obsidian and Notion, PageGrabber '84 seamlessly bridges the gap between your physical library and digital notes—all without accounts, subscriptions, or ads.
