- Windows and Mac users converting files on-device
- Worth noticing
- Windows bundles ffmpeg; macOS users need Homebrew, and the page says only the license ID leaves the machine.
Field notes
The described controls separate three tasks: Shift opens format choices, Alt adds automatic tools, and Ctrl exposes file-management actions. The site lists options such as extracting archives, splitting PDFs, copying a path, and opening a terminal in the file’s folder. It says Windows needs no administrator rights and bundles ffmpeg, while macOS requires Homebrew; the local-processing and license-transmission details are the site's own claims.
