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.

Redact sensitive data from PDFs, Office files, and images with GDPR-focused AI. Review every entity, download in seconds — originals deleted after.

Upload, detect, and redact personal data from any document — securely and in line with GDPR. Your files are processed for redaction only and never stored afterwards.

    Redactify – 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.

  • 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.
