Desktop app
The desktop app runs the Stirling PDF editor and most tools on your own computer, with no account needed. For tools that can't run locally, sign in to Stirling Cloud or connect to your organisation's server (Connection modes).
On a managed installation, your administrator can require sign-in, restrict account choices, or keep all document processing on the device.
