Hey Product Hunt. I'm the dev behind WinRansomProtect (got 4.9/5 on Softonic). Today I'm launching my second tool, DocRedactNow.

I built it because dealing with sensitive PDFs is a headache. If you've ever tried to remove a few client emails, you know how it is. Online tools want you to upload confidential files to their servers, which is a hard no for client data. And the desktop alternatives are usually huge enterprise software just to black out two lines of text.

So I just wrote my own. It's a native C# app. Only 12.8MB. Runs 100% locally. You drop your files in (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT), and it wipes the PII based on 34 built-in rules. Batch processing works too.

It just got 4.5/5 on Softpedia. But honestly, I just want to know if it's actually useful for your workflow.

Let me know if it handles your files okay. Any specific regex rules or weird file formats you want me to add next?
