## What is Maskable?

Maskable helps you find and hide private information before sharing photos and screenshots. Detection and editing happen entirely on your iPhone or iPad. Images are never uploaded or sent to a server.

FIND SENSITIVE INFORMATION
Detect phone numbers, Chinese national ID numbers, bank card numbers, emails, addresses, tracking numbers, IP addresses, URLs, secret keys, access tokens, amounts, and names.

Checksums and valid area codes help reduce false positives. Common look-alikes, such as order numbers and timestamps, are filtered out. Each result shows its confidence and recognized text for review.

Maskable also detects faces, chat avatars, QR codes, barcodes, license plates, and status bars. Chat layout analysis helps identify conversation titles and participant names.

On supported devices, Apple Intelligence adds context-aware detection using an on-device language model.

CHOOSE HOW TO HIDE IT
Use solid covers, background-matched covers, blur, pixelation, frosted glass, noise, checkerboard, or text labels.

Highly sensitive items use solid covers by default. Blur and pixelation may be partially reversible; styles with recovery risks are clearly identified.

Review items individually or hide a whole category with one tap. The Privacy Report updates as you work, showing what still needs attention.

ANNOTATE AND PERSONALIZE
Add arrows, lines, shapes, freehand drawings, text, numbered steps, magnifiers, highlighters, spotlights, and mosaic effects. Crop images and add your own visible watermark.

The User Guide combines animated demos with short instructions and introduces all six annotation tool categories.

EDIT WITHOUT LOSING THE ORIGINAL
Edits are stored as reversible operations. Undo and redo changes, save a new copy, or update the current photo using non-destructive system editing. Updated photos can be reverted in Photos.

CHECK AGAIN BEFORE SHARING
Maskable scans the final rendered image before saving or sharing. If it finds remaining risks, it asks you to review them before continuing.

Saving removes location, capture time, device details, and other metadata by default. Sharing always removes this information. Export as PNG, JPEG, or HEIC.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No image uploads or cloud processing.
• The app goes online only for StoreKit purchases and anonymous crash diagnostics: a short session record at launch and a crash report after a crash. Neither includes images, recognized text, or personal content.
• Crash reporting can be turned off at any time in Settings.
• No accounts, ads, third-party analytics, or tracking.
• Scans only images you open, never your library in the background.
• Supports access to selected photos only.

MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE
Pinch to zoom the home-screen photo grid. Send feedback through an installed email app, including Gmail.

Supports iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 or later, Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, and Increase Contrast.

Available in English, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Japanese, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Turkish.

Customize automatic redaction, tap-to-redact behavior, metadata removal, saving preferences, crash reports, and interface language in Settings.

MASKABLE PRO
Start with free manual covers and basic editing. Free exports include a small Maskable app badge.

Pro lets you save without the app badge and unlocks automatic redaction, batch processing, category-based redaction, background-matched covers, advanced redaction styles, and advanced annotation tools. See the app for available plans and pricing.

Terms of Use (EULA):

### 3/5 — 为什么编辑完照片要显示Mashable这个logo

*2026-09-25*

为了宣传这个app不太好吧，其他都挺好，除了有的时候编辑图片的时候会自动闪退

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的评论，如果你想去掉，可以开通 Pro。然后关闭 “附带 App 标识”至于你的疑惑，很简单赚钱养家。
关于闪退下个版本将接入崩溃分享更好的优化使用体验。

### 5/5 — 反馈

*2026-09-25*

大佬你好软件很不错，提几个建议

①手动打码的矩形框在二次调整时现在是等比调整，希望改为不限定长宽比
②矩形框几个角的按钮感觉可以考虑优化下大小在小尺寸的时候会有重叠不美观也可能会让人有容易误触的感觉
③希望可以考虑部分样式优化，如剪头可以多几个款式选择如我图所示(首尾大小有变化)可能会美观一些，已经边框希望考虑增加可以使用白边包裹的美化效果
④像剪头希望可以考虑尾端增加彩色字快捷添加的按钮，感觉应该也属于高频需求
⑤另外你的软件点邮箱似乎不会弹出邮箱(不知道是你忘记设置了还是我第三方邮箱的Bug)

**Developer response:** 非常感谢你花时间写了这么详细的建议，我已经逐条看完了，这种基于实际使用体验的反馈对我帮助很大。

手动打码框自由调整长宽比、控制点在小尺寸下重叠、剪头样式和边框效果，以及剪头尾部快捷添加彩色文字，这几项我都会认真评估和优化。你提到的一些细节确实是目前交互上可以继续完善的地方。

邮箱点击没有正常弹出的问题我也会排查一下，可能和第三方邮箱或系统调用有关。

### 5/5 — 真的好用

*2026-09-24*

截图后可以直接在菜单里调用 Maskable，自动打码，也可以手动选择，同时还能标注。好用，我找这样的软件找了好久。另外，想请教一下，我已经买了内购，为啥转发还是有水印，怎么才能去掉？

**Developer response:** 感谢你的五星支持，也很开心 Maskable 刚好解决了你一直在找的这个需求！
截图后直接从系统菜单调用、自动识别打码和标注这些能力，确实也是我一开始做这个 App 时最想做顺手的地方。

关于水印，你已经购买内购后是可以关闭的：在图片编辑模式下，点击右上角的分享菜单，关闭「附带 App 标识」即可。
