What Hangar is
Hangar is a local-first desktop app for PDF, image, video and audio work on macOS and Windows. Its toolbox lists 83 tools, with 70 live and 13 marked as coming soon. Each tool can run on one file or a folder, and batches can be processed in parallel. You can save a sequence as a reusable chain and replay it on a folder with one key. Files opened, processed and exported in Hangar remain on your computer rather than being sent to the maker. Optional machine-learning models can be downloaded; update checks may connect online, while anonymous usage analytics are optional and off by default. The maker says there are no file-size or media-length caps. Solo, Crew and Fleet are one-time plans covering one, three or ten devices, respectively, with all tools included. Prices are $4579.00, $99179.00 and $239429.00 per once. A three-day trial and 30-day refund window are available.
