Anonymize my ID

Share your ID, not your identity. Anonymize my ID turns a photo of your ID card or passport into a safe, watermarked, redacted copy — processed 100% on your phone. No account. No upload. Your original photo never leaves your device. Made for travel: give a hotel, car rental or visa form a copy of your document without handing over the details that matter. THREE TAPS TO A SAFE COPY 1. Snap or pick — photograph your ID or passport with the built-in camera, or choose an existing photo. Everything happens offline. 2. Hide what matters — add a box per field and drag it into place. Free hides everything; Pro lets you choose blur, pixelate, partial or colour. 3. Share safely — export a watermarked copy and send it anywhere. A CAMERA THAT KEEPS ITS MOUTH SHUT Photograph your document inside the app, with a guide frame to line it up. The shot goes straight into memory and the temporary file is deleted immediately — so unlike your phone's camera, no picture of your passport is left sitting in the camera roll, syncing to a cloud you forgot was on. AN ENCRYPTED VAULT, IF YOU WANT ONE Keeping a copy of your passport on your phone is useful and, in a normal photo album, a genuinely bad idea. The vault is the alternative: • Safe copies and untouched originals, encrypted with AES-256 on this device. • Unlocked by a PIN, a passphrase, or Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint. • The key is wrapped by your phone's secure hardware, so a copy of the files alone is useless to anyone who takes them. • It locks itself the moment you leave the app. • Nothing is uploaded, and there is no recovery — if you forget your PIN, the documents are gone. That is the point. Entirely optional. Turn it on and nothing is stored at all. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • 100% offline — all processing runs on-device with the system image engine. Nothing is uploaded. • Nothing stored by default — no account, and nothing is kept unless you put it in the vault yourself. • IDs & passports — front and back ID cards plus passport data pages, with sensible field presets. • You decide — add, move, resize and delete the redaction boxes to cover exactly what you want. Resize from any corner. • Your layout, remembered — the positions you settled on come back with one tap next time. • Blur, pixelate or solid bars — pick how each field is hidden. • Partial redaction — reveal just the last digits of a number while hiding the rest. • Black & white or colour — keep the classic photocopy look, or stay in colour. • Tamper-evident watermark — tile a custom watermark across the image so copies can't be reused. TRY IT FREE 2 anonymizations per install — every sensitive field hidden, in black & white, with a watermark. The vault is included on every tier. UNLOCK PRO ONCE A single purchase, no subscription, yours for life: unlimited anonymizations, full control over what to hide, blur / pixelate / solid bars, partial redaction, colour, and a custom watermark. PRIVACY BY DESIGN There is no server, no account and no tracking of your documents. The original photo is processed locally. It is never sent anywhere, and it is never stored unless you explicitly choose to keep it — in which case it is encrypted with a key only your PIN, passphrase or biometrics can release.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Anonymize my ID at Free against Ctrl ~ A Remote for your Watch's $3.99. Anonymize my ID also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 48 months). Ctrl ~ A Remote for your Watch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
