Hi HN, I built Redactify, a native macOS app that automatically scrubs sensitive personal and financial data, faces, and metadata from documents and images. The motivation: I frequently use Claude and ChatGPT to analyze invoices and contracts, but I hated the friction of sanitizing them first. I also didn't want to blindly trust the "we don't train on API data" promises of model providers when dealing with actual client data. How it works under the hood: Redactify flattens the document and permanently destroys the underlying text and EXIF metadata. It runs entirely on-device using Apple's…

Hey everyone, I recently built a free and open-source tool that lets you manually redact PDFs and images right in your browser—no sign-ups, no watermarks. I also added an AI-powered auto-redaction feature to detect and remove sensitive info. Since this part uses external processing (OCR + AI), there are usage limits: you can auto-redact up to 3 single-page PDFs or images for free each day.

Our NextJS sample app adds a security layer on top of ChatGPT with various security services that you can implement quickly. It’s basically a front end to the OpenAI API…

Hi HN, I built RedactMyPDF.com after struggling to manually redact a large legal PDF, and I found that existing tools were either expensive or clunky. RedactMyPDF uses AI (Gemini) + OCR + human review to make redaction fast but safe: Auto-detects sensitive info based on document context (names, addresses, IDs, etc.) Full control to accept, reject, or add redactions Works on scanned PDFs (OCR with Tesseract) Secure & GDPR-compliant (AES-256, EU storage, one-click deletion) Irreversible blackouts + metadata removal Audit logs (CSV export for compliance) Try it here: www.redactmypdf.com Thanks!
