pilgi

Freely annotate your PDFs with a pen, highlighter, and text.

Choose any color you like, and quickly reselect recent colors like favorites.

pilgi is a PDF reader and annotation app that lets you import your PDF documents and freely write or draw directly on them, just like writing by hand.

Take notes while reading lecture materials, mark up contracts and reports, or solve practice tests on scanned worksheets.

Your original PDF file remains completely untouched—all annotations are saved separately and securely, allowing you to revert to the original state at any time.
