Redact personal data before it leaves your desk.

Do you use AI to write emails?

Every name, number, and address in your draft is exposed to the AI. PII GUI redacts them first—so the model never sees the real data.

Contract renewal

An everyday email—full of personal data. Hit Redact to clean it up.

PII GUI finds and redacts names, emails, phone numbers, and other personal data in your documents using local AI models—entirely on your device. Supports text, Markdown, and PDF files.

Perfect for contracts, medical records, HR files, support logs, and any document you need to share without sharing everyone in it.

Free

The desktop app is free—no paid plan, no trial clock.

Offline by design

Detection runs on-device with local models. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

No sign-up

Open the app and start redacting. No account needed.

Features

Redaction you can check, line by line.

Detection, review, filters, and export live together—so cleaning up a document never means juggling tools or trusting a black box.

On-device detection

Local models spot names, emails, phone numbers, and IDs without sending a single byte anywhere.

Redaction that sticks

Export PDFs with sensitive text actually removed—not just covered with a box.

Review before you commit

Every detection is highlighted in place, so you decide what stays and what goes.

Custom regex filters

Add your own patterns for account numbers, case IDs, or anything the models can't know.

Supported file formats

Open text, Markdown, and PDF documents and export cleanly redacted copies.

No account required

Download the app and start redacting—no sign-up, no login.

How it works

From document to redacted copy, in three steps.

Everything happens in one window, on one machine—yours.

1

Open a document

Drop in a PDF or paste text. The local model downloads once and works offline from then on.

New document

2

Review detections

Personal data is highlighted in place. Toggle anything on or off, and add regex filters for your own patterns.

Export the redacted copy

Save a redacted PDF or text file with the sensitive content removed for good.
