Redacto
Local AI redacts. You approve.
Redacto is not another PDF editor. It is a focused Mac app for local AI redaction. Drop in PDFs, scans, images, DOCX, CSV, JSON, RTF or text files; Redacto detects sensitive data, places redaction boxes, and lets you approve or adjust each choice before exporting. No upload, no account, no subscription.
Most PDF tools treat redaction as one feature among many. Redacto treats redaction as the entire workflow.
I built it around one focused job:
Import -> Local AI redacts -> You approve -> Export
Instead of manually searching a document and drawing every black box yourself, you drop in a file and Redacto automatically detects sensitive data, places redaction boxes, and lets you approve, reject or adjust each choice before creating the final redacted PDF.
The whole interface is designed around that single purpose. No layout editing, no complex PDF toolbars, no unnecessary features - just a focused redaction flow for sensitive documents.
Redacto supports PDFs, scans, images, DOCX, CSV, JSON, RTF and text files. OCR and AI run locally on your Mac, so documents don’t need to be uploaded to a server.
No document upload. No account. No subscription.
I built Redacto for people who handle contracts, invoices, legal docs, HR files, support attachments, admin forms, or documents they want to safely share with clients, coworkers or AI tools.
I’d love your feedback: what types of sensitive data should Redacto detect next?
