About Fyllyo
What is Fyllyo?
A Mac app that fills PDF forms from client documents. It reads your files, works out the answer for each field, calculates and formats it, and fills the form, with a link from every answer to its source so you can check it. How it works →
Who is it for?
Anyone who fills the same PDF forms again and again from other people’s documents, such as immigration and tax paperwork prepared for clients.
Does Fyllyo file forms or give advice?
No. Fyllyo prepares forms. It doesn’t e-file them or provide legal or tax advice. Always review the completed form before you use it.
Privacy and your data
Are my client documents uploaded?
No. Client PDFs, scans, photos, Word files and notes are processed by a model running on your own Mac. They are not uploaded or sent to a cloud AI provider, and filled PDFs are saved on your computer. How privacy works →
What is sent to the cloud?
Only when you add your own form: the blank fillable PDF and your setup instructions go to Fyllyo’s cloud service to prepare the template. Client documents are never included, so keep client details out of the blank form and the instructions.
Does Fyllyo work offline?
Yes, after setup. You need a connection to download the app and the local model, and to set up a new custom form. Filling configured forms works offline.
Forms and documents
Which forms are built in?
A growing library of forms ready to fill, including IRS forms like 1040-X, 1120-S and 2553, USCIS I-864, passport forms DS-11 and DS-5507, and New York court forms. Browse the library to see them all. Browse the form library →
Can I use my own form?
Yes. Add a blank fillable PDF and describe how it should be filled. Fyllyo sets it up once, then you reuse it for every client. Check the first few completed forms carefully. Fill any PDF →
What documents can I use as sources?
PDFs, scans, photos, Word files and typed notes. Add several files for the same client. Clear, readable documents give the best results.
Which languages are supported?
Source documents can be in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch or Polish, and Fyllyo fills the form in the language it requires.
What if an answer is missing or wrong?
Fyllyo leaves uncertain answers blank and flags them. In the review screen you see each answer beside its source, and you can correct anything before saving the PDF.
My form isn’t in the library. Can you add it?
Tell us which form you need. Requests decide which forms are added next. Request a form →
Pricing, license and credits
How much does Fyllyo cost?
$99 once for a lifetime license, with free updates. There is no subscription for local filling. See pricing →
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The 5-day free trial includes every feature, with no credit card required.
What are credits for?
Credits pay for one thing: Fyllyo setting up your own fillable PDF as a new template. $1 buys 100 credits, from $10, and credits never expire. Filling forms never uses credits.
Do I need an AI API key?
No. Fyllyo provides the service that sets up new forms. You can use your own provider API key if you prefer; that provider’s charges then apply to setup, not to filling.
Can I use my license on more than one Mac?
The license is active on one Mac at a time. To switch, free it from the app or from your account’s license settings, then sign in on the other Mac.
Do you offer team licenses?
Yes. Email arun@fyllyo.com for volume pricing.
Your Mac
Which Macs are supported?
Apple silicon Macs, M1 or later, with 16 GB of memory recommended. Intel Macs are not supported.
How much disk space do I need?
About 8 GB. Most of it is the local model, about 5 GB, which downloads once on your first fill.
Is there a Windows version?
Not yet. Fyllyo is Mac-only for now; tell us if you need Windows. Tell us →
Still have a question?
Email arun@fyllyo.com. Every message comes to me, the founder, and I answer each one myself.
