ShadowClip

You share screenshots with colleagues and paste them into AI tools every day. ShadowClip removes the personal data before you hit send. Email addresses in a complaint. Names and faces. API keys. They end up in screenshots constantly, and then in places they shouldn't โ AI assistants, emails to colleagues, or texts to friends. ShadowClip autodetects sensitive information in images, and lets you review and adjust before sharing. WHAT IT DETECTS โข Credentials: API keys and tokens in more than 20 formats โข Financial: credit card numbers and IBANs, each checked against its own check digit, so a number that merely looks like a card isn't flagged โข Identity: national ID numbers for 29 countries, each matched to its own format โข Contact: email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses โข Network: IPv4, IPv6 and MAC addresses โข Visual: faces, QR codes, barcodes โข Names, organisations and locations โข Dates of birth and handwritten signatures BUILT INTO YOUR WORKFLOW Pick a photo from your library and give ShadowClip a few seconds. Findings appear as a review list: accept, dismiss, or add your own. Then save the redacted copy back to Photos. You can also select words by hand, or draw a region over anything else you want hidden. Share Extension: from Photos, Safari, or any app with the system Share menu, choose ShadowClip. Redact and save without leaving what you're doing. BUILT FOR EVERY LANGUAGE Most redaction tools are built for English. ShadowClip's interface is available in 17 languages, and it checks text in 30 โ including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian and Thai. National ID numbers are matched country by country, not with one generic pattern. Arabic and Hebrew get a fully right-to-left interface. Apple's text recognition cannot read Hebrew, Greek or Hindi. Rather than pass over it silently, ShadowClip marks that text on the image so you can see exactly what went unchecked โ and numbers, email addresses and ID numbers inside it are still found. IRREVERSIBLE BY DESIGN Redactions are opaque fills composited into a new image. The original pixels are discarded, not covered: there is nothing underneath to recover. Location data and camera metadata are stripped when you save. PRIVACY BY DESIGN ShadowClip contains no networking code and makes no network requests. Your images are processed on your device and never leave it. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.
MiruMado Focus Browser

MiruMado is a privacy-focused browser that lets you view selected parts of webpages through focus windows while dimming the surrounding area. Keep useful details such as weather, headlines, scores, delivery updates, and reservations in view. Switch between standard browsing, focus view, and blackout view. Save separate small and medium still-image crops in the Home Screen Focus Image widget. Widget crops do not change your in-app focus windows. Each image shows its capture date/time; tap it to open the source page. Images do not automatically refresh: capture and save again in the app to update them. Capture is unavailable in Private Browsing. Check what will appear on your Home Screen before saving. Manage quick links, favorites, recent sites, and saved focus windows locally. Page translation, desktop-site mode, text size, display repair, and content blocking are available per page. Saved URLs, focus settings, favorites, preferences, and widget images stay on your device. Widget images are stored in the shared app and extension container. No MiruMado account, advertising SDK, external browsing-history logging, or webpage parsing or scraping is added.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MiruMado Focus Browser at Free against ShadowClip's $3.99. MiruMado Focus Browser also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). ShadowClip's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
