PDF WOLF lets you add password protection to any PDF, directly on your device. No cloud uploads. No accounts. No servers involved. Your files stay private from start to finish.
HOW IT WORKS
Import any PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, or any app on your device. Choose to generate a cryptographically strong random password automatically, or enter your own. PDF WOLF applies industry-standard PDF encryption on-device, then verifies the result before presenting it to you.
Once protection is complete, you can preview the result. Saving the protected PDF to Files or sharing it directly requires a Pro plan.

PRIVACY FIRST
PDF WOLF uses no analytics, no tracking, and no advertising SDKs. It communicates only with Apple's App Store to process purchases. Everything else happens entirely on your device.
PRO PLAN
A Pro plan (Weekly or Lifetime) unlocks the ability to save protected PDFs to the Files app and share them via the iOS share sheet. The protection process itself can be experienced before purchasing — Pro gates only the final file delivery.
Passwords are stored in your device's Keychain, the same secure storage used by banks and password managers. PDF WOLF never sees or stores your passwords on any server.
