HideMyData finds and redacts personal data in PDFs and images. The detection model runs entirely on your machine — nothing ever leaves it.
Features
- Fully local — detection model runs on-device, nothing ever leaves your machine
- PDF and image input — both formats share the same detection and redaction pipeline
- OCR — Apple Vision handles scanned PDFs, images, and rescues PDFs whose embedded fonts hide text from selection
- AI detection — catches names, emails, phones, addresses, dates, and IDs in context
- Manually maintained regex — IBAN, SSN, personal identifiers, MAC, IPv4/v6, JWT, API keys, crypto wallets, and more
- Two redaction styles — solid black or frosted glass blur
- Manual editing — add or remove redaction rectangles by hand before saving
- Permanent on save — pages are rasterized and rebuilt; original text and glyphs are gone, not just hidden
Requirements
- macOS 26 or later
- Apple Silicon (Intel not supported)
