Clean screenshots before you share. MaskShot helps you share screenshots safely by automatically detecting and redacting sensitive textβ€”tokens, emails, URLs, API keys, and more. Everything happens on your device. Nothing is sent to the cloud. WHY MASKSHOT β€’ Screenshots often contain secrets: API keys, tokens, emails, connection strings. Sharing them as-is can leak sensitive data. β€’ MaskShot analyzes your screenshot on-device, detects sensitive text, and lets you add redaction areas so you can save or share with confidence. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick or capture β€” Choose screenshots from your gallery or take a new one. 2. Review & edit β€” See what’s detected; add manual redaction areas, change colors, zoom to inspect. 3. Save or share β€” Save to gallery, share only, or both. Your choice. KEY FEATURES β€’ Privacy first β€” All detection and redaction happens on your device. Your images and text never leave your phone. β€’ On-device OCR β€” Detects emails, tokens, URLs, credit cards, and many common secret patterns automatically. β€’ Built-in patterns β€” Tokens, API keys, Bearer tokens, JWTs, AWS keys, GitHub/Google/Stripe/Slack tokens, private keys, and more. Premium adds custom regex patterns. β€’ Editor β€” Rectangle and oval redaction; move, resize, undo. Multiple colors including black, grey, red, blue, green, or custom. β€’ Secure vault β€” Keep sensitive screenshots in a PIN- or biometric-protected space. Free: up to 5 images; Premium: unlimited and custom vaults. β€’ Export β€” Save to gallery, share only, or save and share. Set your default in Settings. FREE VS PREMIUM β€’ Free: Core redaction, built-in patterns, secure vault (up to 5 images), history. β€’ Premium: Custom detection patterns, unlimited vault images, custom vaults, batch (multi-image) editing. MaskShot does not use AI to process your data. Processing is entirely on-device. For full details, see our Privacy Policy and Terms in the app or at maskshot.chuongle.dev.
