## What is Redact Zero?

Redact Zero permanently hides sensitive information in your documents — and proves it.

Most "redaction" apps just draw a black box on top, or blur the text. Both can be undone. Redact Zero flattens the redaction directly into the image and then re-scans the result to confirm the hidden text can't be recovered. When you see "Verified unrecoverable," it means it.

Everything happens on your device. Your documents are never uploaded.

SCAN OR IMPORT
• Scan paper documents with your camera
• Import photos or existing PDFs

FINDS SENSITIVE INFO AUTOMATICALLY
• Names, faces, and dates of birth
• Social Security numbers and credit-card numbers (validated)
• Emails, phone numbers, and addresses
• Account, routing, member, and policy numbers
• Passport / ID machine-readable zones
Tap to choose what to hide — the obvious items are pre-selected — or paint over anything by hand.

TRULY UNRECOVERABLE
• Solid redactions are flattened into the pixels, not overlaid
• The export is re-scanned to confirm the text is gone
• Metadata is stripped; a brand-new file is created

BUILT FOR REAL WORK
• Export redacted PDFs or images, or save to Photos
• Multi-page and batch redaction
• Zoom in for precise, small-text redaction
• iPad: split-view workspace with a sensitive-info inspector
• Apple Pencil: draw redactions while your finger pans, pressure-sensitive width, double-tap to switch tools

PRO
Redact Zero is free to use, up to a monthly limit. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited redactions, PDF import/export, batch, the "Verified Unrecoverable" report, and compliance presets (HIPAA Safe Harbor, Mortgage/SSN, Blind Résumé).

Perfect for real estate and mortgage, healthcare, legal, HR, and anyone who shares documents that contain private information.

• Annual — $9.99 per year, including a 7-day free trial

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-06

Thanks for using Redact Zero! This update is all about longer documents:

• Pick up where you left off — if you leave the app in the middle of a job, your pages, your selections and anything you painted by hand are waiting when you come back
• Documents can now hold up to 100 pages, up from 20
• If a PDF has more pages than that, you're told exactly how many didn't fit instead of it being quietly shortened
• Import straight from Files — iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. Photos are free; PDF import stays Pro
• Long documents use much less memory, so big jobs stay smooth from the first page through to export

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-02

Thanks for using Redact Zero! This update fixes issues our first customers reported:

• Imported PDFs stored in iCloud Drive now download automatically before import
• PDFs with rotated pages now import upright instead of blank
• Restore Purchases and purchase errors now show clear messages
• Better labeling for payment card numbers
• Bug fixes and reliability improvements

### 1.0 — 2026-08-18

No release notes.
