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 — 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 • Credentials: API keys and tokens in more than 20 formats • 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 • Identity: national ID numbers for 29 countries, each matched to its own format • Contact: email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses • Network: IPv4, IPv6 and MAC addresses • Visual: faces, QR codes, barcodes • Names, organisations and locations • 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 — 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 — and numbers, email addresses and ID numbers inside it are still found. SHADOWCLIP PRO One purchase for the Mac and iPhone apps, shared with your family. No subscription. • Batch redaction: up to 20 images reviewed side by side and saved together • Redact everywhere: redact something once and it's found in every image of the batch • Always-redact list: names, clients and codenames you add are redacted in every image • Shortcuts actions: redact images automatically from the Shortcuts app • Export options: PNG, JPEG or HEIC, with or without "-redacted" in the name Redacting one image at a time, with every detector and the review, stays free. 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.

Read full description

A three-tab calculator that lets you keep multiple calculations going at the same time. The A, B, and C tabs each work as an independent calculator. Switch between them without losing your current expression or result. Use A for the pre-tax price, B for the tax-inclusive total, and C for the discounted price—all without writing down intermediate numbers or clearing your work. One purchase unlocks everything. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. ■ Running Total as You Type The answer so far appears in small text below your expression, so you can check a running total before you press "=". ■ Three Independent Calculators Switch between A, B, and C with one tap. Each tab keeps its own expression and result, so you can work on three calculations in parallel. ■ Compare All Three See the total of all three tabs and the difference between the highest and lowest at a glance. ■ Tax In and Out Add tax with one tap, or work back from a tax-inclusive price to the pre-tax amount. Set any tax rate in Settings. ■ Split the Bill Enter a total and the number of people to get the amount per person, with optional rounding up. ■ History, Copy and Undo Each tab keeps its own history. Tap an entry to copy its result. Tap the display to copy or paste, touch and hold to clear. Undo and redo are supported. ■ Essential Calculator Functions Basic arithmetic plus square root (√), square (x²), percentages (%), sign change (±), parentheses, and a 00 key. ■ Easy on the Eyes Choose from four themes—Pastel, High contrast, Dark, and Night—and turn on Large text when you need it. ■ Four Languages English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. The app follows your device language automatically. ■ Perfect For • Checking estimates and invoices • Comparing pre-tax, tax-inclusive, and discounted prices • Calculating sales tax and shopping discounts • Splitting bills and calculating per-person costs • Comparing unit prices • Adding up inventory and quantities ■ Privacy Your calculation history and settings are stored only on your device. No account is needed, and the app does not collect personal information or send your data to external servers.
