RemoveMyID
100% client-side PII scrubber for safe AI prompting
RemoveMyID redacts personal information froRemoveMyID is a free, open-source web tool that instantly scrubs Personally Identifiable Information (PII)—like names, emails, addresses, and IDs—from your files before you upload them to AI models like ChatGPT or Claude. Because the redaction engine runs 100% locally in your browser, your documents never touch a server, ensuring absolute data privacy with zero leak risk.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Sinay, creator of RemoveMyID.
The Problem
Like many of you, I rely on tools like ChatGPT and Claude every day to analyze PDFs, summarize documents, and edit copy. But I constantly found myself hesitating: Am I accidentally uploading sensitive phone numbers, home addresses, tax IDs, or full names into an LLM's training dataset? 😬
Most existing redaction tools require uploading your files to their backend servers first—which completely defeats the point of protecting your privacy.
The Solution
I built RemoveMyID as a zero-trust, privacy-first alternative. It lets you scrub sensitive details in seconds, right on your own machine.
Key Highlights:
🛡️ 100% Client-Side: Processing happens entirely within your browser's JavaScript engine. Zero server uploads, zero logs, zero risk.
💻 Open Source: Privacy requires transparency. You can inspect the code on GitHub or open your Network Tab to verify that no data ever leaves your device.
⚡ Instant Redaction: Drop a file, replace sensitive PII with [REDACTED], and copy/upload your clean text straight to your favorite AI tool.
I’d love to hear your feedback, edge cases you'd like detected, or feature requests! Let me know what you think in the comments below. 👇
The local browser processing is a smart call, especially for something handling sensitive PII where trust is everything. Nice that it's open source too.
The browser-side redaction is a really thoughtful choice, since most people wouldn't think twice about what happens to their files before uploading. Love that it's open source too, makes the whole privacy claim easy to trust.
