An offline tool for hiding sensitive information in screenshots and documents. Text is found on-device with Vision OCR, and the redaction is burned into the exported image — the covered pixels are gone, not merely hidden behind a layer someone can move.

Most "redaction" in consumer apps is a black rectangle drawn on a layer above the image. Export it to a format that preserves layers, or undo one step, and the secret is back. RedactPro flattens the redaction into the exported pixels, so what is covered is destroyed.

How it is verified

We do not take the export on trust. Four known secrets are planted in a test document, the file is redacted, and an independent OCR pass is run over the exported result. The test fails unless it recovers none of them. That check runs against a release build, not a simulator mock.

On device, always

Text detection uses the platform's own Vision framework locally. Nothing leaves the phone, which is the only honest position for a tool whose entire purpose is handling material you do not want seen.

4 capabilities
On-device text detection
Vision OCR finds candidate text regions locally so you can redact by tapping rather than tracing.
Destructive export
Redactions are burned into the output pixels; the covered content cannot be recovered from the exported file.
No account, no upload
There is no sign-in and no network call in the processing path.
Lifetime unlock
A single non-consumable purchase rather than a subscription.
Screens

Captures of RedactPro are pending. We would rather show you nothing than a drawing of a screen that was never photographed.
