Akyro is a fast, editable document workspace — built for conversion, OCR, merging and layout control.
A desktop app in Python / PyQt6 that converts PDFs and DOCX into a proprietary editable format
(.akr). The UI is designed to feel “InDesign-like”, but optimized for speed and automation.
The application was developed in Italian for convenience, as my native language is Italian.
