RedactKit requires no account creation and collects zero data about you or your content.
Offline Redactor

Offline Redactor helps you hide sensitive details before you send a screenshot, photo, or PDF. Import a file, review the detected redaction boxes, tap or drag on the preview to add your own boxes where needed, and export a flattened copy. Redactions are burned into the exported file so hidden text or faces are not just covered by a movable layer. Useful for screenshots with names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers, cards, or codes; photos with faces or private text; and PDFs that need quick visual redaction before sharing. Privacy: no account, no upload, no tracking, no backend. Files stay on your device. The app uses on-device Apple frameworks to detect faces and sensitive text where possible. You always review the boxes before exporting.
