Redacto
Local document redaction with on-device AI
Overview
Redacto redacts sensitive information from documents directly on your Mac without uploading any files to external servers. It automatically detects common sensitive data types — email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, tax codes, document identifiers, and URLs — using a bundled local Large Language Model and an on-device privacy filter that run entirely offline. Built-in OCR handles scanned documents and images, while manual tools let you redact signatures and handwritten content. Supports PDF, image, text, CSV, JSON, RTF, and DOCX, and exports a rasterized PDF that removes the original text layer. No account or internet connection required.
