What this tool does
A focused job, with a visible boundary.
Create a shareable text copy with common identifiers masked locally and a clear receipt of what the rules detected.
Custom terms and category controls
Redaction receipt and editable output
Know the limits
Local does not mean unlimited.
Browser processing protects the file from an upload workflow, but the browser, device, output format, and selected settings still matter.
- Pattern matching can miss sensitive context and can flag harmless text.
- Names, addresses, account identifiers, and unusual formats may require manual review.
- This is not AI classification, legal redaction, or a guarantee that the result is anonymous.

Clear answers
Text redactor questions.
Does the text leave this browser?
No. Pattern detection and replacement run in the current tab without a submission request.
Can it find every name or address?
No. This version uses explicit patterns and custom terms, not an AI model. Always read the complete result before sharing it.
Are card-like numbers validated?
The tool uses length, formatting, and a Luhn checksum to reduce false matches, but the result still requires manual review.
