What it does

Every time you share a bill, medical report or bank statement to ask AI a question, the sensitive data such as name, account numbers, and address is also uploaded to a cloud server you don't control. BlankOut automatically detects and redacts sensitive information on your Android device using on-device AI. GPS & EXIF metadata stripped too. Your data never leaves your phone. AI gets only what it needs. Share a clean, redacted version of your document in one tap.

BlankOut detects and redacts sensitive info from photos entirely on your device. No cloud. No tracking. Available on Google Play.

Hide sensitive data from photos before sharing to AI. Run offline on device. No cloud. Nofrom blankout-offline.com

Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly approve it. ### How It Works - * Zero-Trust by Design*: Every step happens in your browser until you say otherwise. - * Local…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
