Blackout vs Tipnook

Share documents, not your details. Sooner or later someone asks for a bank statement, a pay stub, a passport, a medical record. They need the document; they do not need everything on it. Blackout finds the details a stranger shouldn't get, removes them from a copy, strips the data hiding inside the file, labels every page with who it's for — and never sends it anywhere. FINDS WHAT YOU'D MISS Open a PDF, a photo or a scan. Blackout reads it on your device and flags Social Security and account numbers, routing and card numbers, IBANs, phone numbers, email and postal addresses, dates of birth, passport and ID numbers, faces, barcodes and QR codes. Names are found too and left in by default, because they are usually the point. REMOVES, DOESN'T COVER Drawing a black box over a number is not redaction — the number is still in the file, one copy-and-paste away. Blackout deletes the characters from the page itself, erases the pixels from scanned images, and drops any note that overlapped. The box you see is the last step, not the whole job, and a test suite reopens every prepared copy with two independent extractors to prove it. STRIPS THE HIDDEN DATA — AND SHOWS YOU WHERE IT WAS A PDF carries more than what it shows: author, creation tool and dates, the editing history some apps tuck inside, every comment's author, attached files, scripts, and the camera model and GPS position inside embedded photos. Blackout removes all of it and, with Pro, lists it by where it was hiding — your name in the document properties, a colleague's in a comment on page 2, your home address in a photo's GPS tag on page 3. LABELS THE COPY Every page gets a watermark — "For Landlord · September 2026" — so a copy that turns up elsewhere says where it came from. Stamp it COPY or CONFIDENTIAL, add a header, number the pages, sign it. SEAL IT, AND KNOW IF IT COMES BACK CHANGED Seal a copy before you send it. The seal is invisible — nothing on the page. If that copy comes back, open it in Blackout and it tells you whether the content still matches, and which pages do not. It compares what the pages say, not the file's bytes, so an innocent re-save does not cry wolf. A PDF carries no identity that cannot be forged, so a name or date in a changed file is shown as a claim the file makes, never as proof of who changed it. KEEPS A LOG Who got which document, when, with what hidden. The log lives on your device and never holds the file. Or skip sending altogether: put the prepared copy on your screen for the person in the room, or have it read back to you first. PREPARE IT PROPERLY Send only some pages. Combine three pay stubs, or split one apart. Shrink it for email. Make a photographed page searchable. Correct a typo, replace a photo, remove tracking links, fill in the form. Send as PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint or images — conversions run after the details are gone, never before. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE There is no server, no account and no code that uploads anything. Detection, text recognition and face detection all run on the device using Apple's own frameworks. Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout. FREE AND PRO The whole job — find, review, remove, strip, watermark, share — is free for your first copy, and the built-in sample is always free to try. Blackout Pro removes the limit and adds password protection, the itemised hidden-data report and every optional preparation step, for a single payment of $19.99. ONE PAYMENT, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Blackout Pro is a one-time purchase of $19.99, charged once. It does not renew, there is nothing to cancel, and you will not be charged again. It stays unlocked on every device signed in to the same Apple Account, and Restore Purchase brings it back after a reinstall.

An easy end to a shared meal. Tipnook helps you calculate a tip and see what each person owes. Enter the bill, set the tip, and choose the number of people. SET THE TIP Turn the dial from 0–30%, or tap 15%, 18%, 20%, or 25%. You can also set the tip to zero. SPLIT THE EXACT TOTAL Split between 1–20 people. When the total does not divide evenly, Tipnook shows two payment amounts that differ by one smallest currency unit. Everyone's share adds up to the exact total. SHARE A CLEAR BREAKDOWN Copy the bill as text or an image to paste into a chat, or save the image to Photos. The breakdown includes the currency, bill amount, tip, total, and each person's share. CHOOSE YOUR CURRENCY Use 15 currencies, including USD, CAD, MXN, BRL, EUR, GBP, ZAR, CNY, HKD, TWD, JPY, KRW, SGD, AUD, and NZD. Currency selection is independent of the app language. There is no exchange-rate conversion. READY WHEN YOU RETURN Your last confirmed bill and preferences stay on your iPhone. Choose light mode, dark mode, or follow the system. VoiceOver supports adjusting the tip dial. Works offline. No account, advertising, tracking, subscription, or in-app purchases. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. For iPhone with iOS 18 or later.
