RedactKit is a powerful, AI-powered PII detection and redaction tool that automatically identifies and removes sensitive personal information from any text — all on your device, with no internet connection required. Paste any text into RedactKit and watch as the on-device machine learning model instantly highlights and redacts Personally Identifiable Information (PII) before you share it with anyone. WHAT REDACTKIT DETECTS • Person names and identities • Email addresses • Phone numbers (all formats) • Physical addresses and locations • Social Security Numbers (SSNs) • Credit card numbers • Dates of birth and other sensitive dates PRIVATE BY DESIGN RedactKit runs entirely on your device using CoreML and NeuroBERT. Your text never leaves your iPhone. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking — just fast, accurate, local processing. KEY FEATURES • AI-Powered Detection: Uses CoreML and NeuroBERT for accurate, real-time PII identification • Animated Redaction: Smooth, satisfying animations show exactly what's being protected • History Management: Processed content is saved locally so you can revisit previous redactions • Clipboard Integration: Paste text in and copy clean output out in seconds • Beautiful SwiftUI Interface: Modern design with clean visual feedback HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste or type any text into the app 2. Tap "Redact" — the AI model scans for PII instantly 3. Review the animated redaction results 4. Copy the clean, redacted text and share it safely PERFECT FOR Sharing documents or messages that contain personal details, preparing content for screenshots or screen recordings, removing sensitive data before forwarding emails or notes, and protecting your own information before copying it to other apps. PRIVACY RedactKit is designed with privacy at its core. All processing happens on-device. No data is sent to any server. Redaction history is stored locally using SwiftData. RedactKit requires no account creation and collects zero data about you or your content.

Share the file without sharing every private detail. Hide phone numbers in screenshots, redact sensitive text in PDFs, and cover selected areas in videos — with content processing on your device and no upload of your originals. FOR SCREENSHOTS, RECEIPTS & PHOTOS Use local text detection to find phone numbers and email addresses, then review the suggested areas. Search repeated text or add covers manually. Choose solid covers, mosaic or blur, and review detected faces before covering them. FOR PDF DOCUMENTS Prepare a copy of a contract, receipt or other document before sending it. Search sensitive text, check pages that still need attention, and add manual covers where needed. FOR VIDEO PRIVACY Review detected faces or place your own cover over a selected area. Tap to position the box, adjust its size and choose when it appears. Manual boxes stay in a fixed position; preview the full video to check that moving details stay covered. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Save encrypted drafts for photos, PDFs and videos. For multiple images, apply shared detection rules, review each file, and pause or retry as needed. Organize originals and finished copies into groups, combine images into a long image, and share from the result preview. YOUR FILES, ON YOUR DEVICE Imported originals and editing drafts are stored encrypted on your device. Optional app locking supports a password and Face ID or Touch ID on compatible devices. No account is required to process your files. Purchases and restoring purchases use Apple services. TRY FREE. UPGRADE WITH ONE PURCHASE. The free version includes 3 image/video exports combined and 3 PDF exports per day. Free video exports support source files up to 300 MB. A one-time in-app purchase removes these limits and unlocks premium stickers. No subscription. Automatic detection can miss private information. Review the entire exported result before sharing.
