Local-first catalog tools
Open technical catalogs locally.
Catalog Pantry is a public product family for finding manufacturer technical catalogs with a local-first workflow and keeping the original source within reach.
The first product
Catalog Pantry Explorer is a catalog viewer in Chrome's Side Panel. It opens a PDF selected by the user, checks a bounded reviewed index for model locations, and hands off to an official manufacturer page only when the user asks it to.
Catalog Pantry Explorer
Local PDFs, a reviewed index, Provider and Catalog metadata, clips, and history in one Side Panel.
The data boundary
PDF text, images, OCR, bbox or vector data, searches, clips, history, and personal settings are not sent to the developer's server by default. Unknown product information and locations remain unknown.
