Auto Redact AI

Auto Redact is a document scanner that protects your privacy by default. Scan a letter with your camera, import a photo, or open a PDF from Files — personal data is found and blacked out automatically, entirely on your device.

Share the redacted version anywhere with a clear conscience: paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to get help with a contract, send it to your landlord, your lawyer, or a support hotline — without handing over your identity.

WHAT GETS DETECTED AUTOMATICALLY • Names and addresses • IBANs, account and credit card numbers • Phone numbers and email addresses • Dates of birth, social security and tax IDs • Reference numbers, license plates and more

YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY • Tap any black bar to reveal it — deadlines and amounts often need to stay • Tap any word to black it out yourself, or draw a box anywhere on the image • Pinch to zoom for precise control on dense documents • Toggle whole categories (all names, all dates) with one tap

SCAN ANYTHING • Camera scanning with automatic edge detection and de-skew • Multi-page documents and PDFs (rendered on-device, page by page) • Import from Photos or the Files app • Paste plain text to redact it before sending

EXPORT SAFELY • Share the redacted image, PDF, or text — only the redacted version ever leaves your phone • One-tap handoff to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, email or any app • Redacted documents saved in an encrypted library (AES-256, Face ID / PIN lock)

PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE, NOT A SETTING Text recognition runs on your device. Redaction happens before anything is shared. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking — we couldn't read your documents if we wanted to. The optional "Ask AI" feature sends redacted text only, using your own API key.
