Yes, these services need not be run 24/7, just when you actually want to use them.
It’s true, too, that BentoPDF is way lighter on resources than SterlingPDF, but with it’s zero-knowledge and ultra-light footprint it also remembers nothing. So, if moving between PDF tools, you will need to save the PDF and re-open it in the next tool to work further. If they could introduce some local persistence, it could be a great tool.
The services covered are:
- Excalidraw
- BentoPDF
- Budget Board
- BookLore
