## What is Redact Studio?

Redact Studio is the complete on-device Video, PDF, Photo, and Document Scan privacy redaction suite built for macOS, iPhone, and iPad.

Unlike ordinary editors that merely place an overlay over sensitive text or require uploading your private videos to cloud servers, Redact Studio runs 100% offline on Apple Silicon. It permanently expunges underlying PDF character glyph streams, burns video frames destructively, and irreversibly destroys image pixels so your confidential information can never be copied, extracted, or recovered.

WHY REDACT STUDIO?

Whether you are redacting bodycam and interview videos, legal discovery PDFs, medical records, financial statements, or screenshots, accidentally leaving faces, client names, social security numbers, or API keys exposed can cause severe privacy breaches. Redact Studio automates detection, tracking, and permanent destruction using Apple Vision neural intelligence right on your device.
