Secure Redact detects and removes passwords, API keys, credit cards, SSNs, IP addresses, malicious or suspicious URLs, and 20+ types of sensitive data from any text — all processed 100% offline on your device. No cloud. No tracking. No account required. Protect logs, code snippets, emails, chat messages, Slack messages, support tickets, AI prompts, and any text before you share it.

Import domain lists, IPs, or custom identifiers from any HTTP source. All feeds are stored and processed locally on your device. - Audit Dashboard — Track redaction history with local analytics. View detection counts, signature types, and performance metrics — stored locally on your device. - Flexible Redaction Modes — Choose full labels ([REDACTED], [IP_REDACTED]) or partial masking (192.168.*****) to preserve structure.
