RedactKit is a powerful, AI-powered PII detection and redaction tool that automatically identifies and removes sensitive personal information from any text โ€” 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 โ€ข Person names and identities โ€ข Email addresses โ€ข Phone numbers (all formats) โ€ข Physical addresses and locations โ€ข Social Security Numbers (SSNs) โ€ข Credit card numbers โ€ข 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 โ€” just fast, accurate, local processing. KEY FEATURES โ€ข AI-Powered Detection: Uses CoreML and NeuroBERT for accurate, real-time PII identification โ€ข Animated Redaction: Smooth, satisfying animations show exactly what's being protected โ€ข History Management: Processed content is saved locally so you can revisit previous redactions โ€ข Clipboard Integration: Paste text in and copy clean output out in seconds โ€ข Beautiful SwiftUI Interface: Modern design with clean visual feedback HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste or type any text into the app 2. Tap "Redact" โ€” 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.
