RedactLocal

What it does

RedactLocal is a zero-network PDF redaction tool that runs entirely on your device. No cloud uploads, no AI APIs, and no subscriptions. Redactions are permanently rasterized so hidden text can never be recovered. Turn off your Wi-Fi and it still works. Black out sensitive parts of a PDF in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — the file is read into the tab, flattened to images on export, and the text underneath is destroyed.

Securely redact sensitive documents and PDFs directly in your browser. 100% private, zero uploads, and HIPAA/PCI-DSS/GDPR compliant.

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
