Redacto
Redact personal data from any document
What it does
Upload any document — PDF, Word, image, or scan. AI detects personal data (names, addresses, IBANs, medical records, 50+ types) and you review every match before redaction. Metadata is stripped automatically. Unlike ChatGPT or US-hosted tools, Redacto never stores your documents, runs 100% in the EU, and generates a tamper-proof audit certificate with SHA-256 hashes for every redaction. Built-in DPIA dashboard. Import from Dropbox, Drive, OneDrive. Free to start — no credit card.

- RMRedactify – macOS/iOS app to redact sensitive data before using LLMsApr 2026 · ▲5
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…
- RCRedactMyPDF.com - AI-assisted PDF redaction with human review2025 · redactmypdf.com · ▲6
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!

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

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.
