Why not just use a web tool

Every online redactor uploads your file first

You cannot un-send a document. Here is what you are trusting when you paste a tax return into a browser tab.

Uploaded

Web redactors send your full PDF to their servers before showing a single edit. The original is already gone.

Recoverable

Most "black bar" tools just draw a rectangle. The text underneath is still selectable and copyable in the exported file.

Retained

Free tools fund themselves on your data. Uploaded documents sit in caches and logs you will never see or delete.

What's inside

Redaction that actually removes the data

Runs entirely on your computer. Nothing is transmitted, ever.

→
Zero network calls. Runs 100% offline. Pull your ethernet cable and it still works.
→
Real deletion. Redacted text is stripped from the file, not covered by a box.
→
Metadata scrub. Strips author, timestamps, and hidden EXIF on export.
→
Pattern find. Auto-detect SSNs, card numbers, and emails to redact in one click.
→
Batch mode. Drop a folder of statements and redact them all at once.
→
Yours forever. Single desktop binary for Windows and macOS. No subscription.
Pricing

One price. Own it forever.

No seats, no renewals, no upsell to an "enterprise" tier that redacts the same PDF.
