Open PDF Studio v1.20.0 (Github)

https://github.com/OpenAEC-Foundation/open-pdf-studio?tab=readme-ov-file

Open PDF Studio is a lightweight, native desktop application that provides professional-grade PDF annotation, markup, and editing tools without subscriptions, telemetry, or bloatware. Built with Tauri 2 and web technologies, it delivers a fast, modern experience with a Microsoft Office-style ribbon interface.

Free MacOS, Windows, Linux, Android (apk)

Tons of features.
Start here:
• PDF viewing and navigation
• Text selection and search
• Annotations: highlight, underline, strikethrough
• Drawing tools: freehand, shapes, text
• Multi-tab document support
• Thumbnail navigation
• Session restore

There is a comparison chart at Github comparing various PDF tools.
How does it compare with what you're using (or not using)
