Read the security modelDetect, review, export verified.
Review by entity instead of reading every page. Approve every occurrence of a name in one click.
Detect
Pattern matching catches SSNs, cards, phones, emails, IBANs and dates of birth. Names and addresses are not detected automatically yet: search for a name once and every match is redacted.
Review
Findings glow yellow on the page and are grouped in the Entity Inspector. Click one to approve it, or toggle a whole group. Draw a box for anything the AI missed.
Export verified
The underlying text is removed, not just covered. Metadata and hidden content are stripped, then the output is re-opened and checked so redacted strings cannot be extracted.
Presets for the people who handle the paperwork.
Start from the entities your team actually redacts, then tune them.
Discovery and court filings
Redact names, case identifiers and minors’ details across a production set before it leaves the firm. Apply a name once and it is redacted everywhere it appears.

Straight answers
No. Detection, review and redaction all run in your browser. The only requests to our server are sign-in and the credit check when you export. Neither carries your document, its text or a fingerprint of it.
Redact your first PDF in under a minute.
No account to scan and review. No upload, ever.
