Hide sensitive data
before you share.
Drop a PDF, image, or screenshot. omitt finds sensitive text, secrets, faces, and barcodes on your Mac. You review every mark, then share the clean copy. The original never moves.
Your team uses AI.
Most of what gets pasted shouldn't.
By the time you notice a sensitive line went into ChatGPT, it's already on someone else's server.
A policy that says "be careful" still relies on memory at the exact moment someone wants a fast answer. A small pre-share step is easier to repeat and easier to verify.
One careful step. No upload.
Built for the moment between "I need to ask AI" and "I should check this first."
Drop or hotkey
Press Cmd+Shift+B from anywhere. Drag a PDF, image, or screenshot into the window.
Review the highlights
omitt flags supported text and visual categories. Toggle any suggestion, select text, or drag across an area it missed.
Copy or save
Copy cleaned text, or save a fresh PNG or PDF. Then use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other tool.
For work that deserves
a careful second look.
Different jobs, same check before sensitive material leaves your hands.
Redact the case file
before AI research.
Flag common client identifiers locally, review every mark yourself, and share only the cleaned working copy.
Scrub the return
before AI review.
Find SSNs, validated bank IDs, cards, addresses, and contact details. Draw a box over any figure that needs your judgment.
Strip PII from logs.
Catch customer emails, IP addresses, API keys, tokens, and JWTs before a log reaches an AI assistant.
Clean the deck.
Remove client names and contact details, then manually mark any project-specific term before asking AI to summarize.
Hide the candidate.
Hide names, faces, emails, and phone numbers before sharing a resume for a first-pass review.
If it shouldn't be public, omitt it first.
You don't need to be a lawyer to want one fewer thing to worry about before hitting Send.
Finds what you'd forget.
Automatic suggestions for high-value categories, plus manual redaction for anything specific to your work.
A local checkpoint,
not another destination.
omitt sits before the AI tool, produces a clean copy, and keeps the source file on your Mac.
| Manual cleanup | Cloud redaction | omitt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the source goes | Stays on your Mac | Vendor's server | Stays on your Mac |
| Automatic text checks | No | Varies | Names, IDs, contact data, secrets |
| Faces and barcodes | No | Varies | Yes |
| Works offline | Yes | No | Yes |
| Before any AI tool | Only if you remember | Yes | Yes - paste anywhere |
| PDF hidden text removed | Depends how you edit it | Varies | Fresh image-only PDF |
We can't see your files.
Here's how to check.

Questions worth asking.
The kind of details a careful person checks before installing software.
Does omitt see my files?
No. Everything - file reading, detection, redaction - runs on your Mac. We can't see what we never receive. The app makes no outbound network calls during processing. You can watch this in Activity Monitor.
What if it misses something sensitive?
You review every redaction before anything is copied. Side-by-side preview. Add manual redactions in one click. omitt suggests - you approve.
Why not use ChatGPT Enterprise?
Enterprise AI plans can improve contractual and data-control terms, but the file still has to reach that provider. omitt solves a different problem: remove sensitive details locally first, then use the cleaned copy with the AI tool and plan you choose.
What about my profession's confidentiality rules?
In February 2026, Judge Rakoff of the SDNY ruled in United States v. Heppner that the consumer AI conversations at issue were not protected by attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine. omitt helps you minimize what you disclose before using an AI service. It does not provide legal advice or guarantee compliance, privilege, or confidentiality.
What happens after my first year of Pro?
The current plan is simple: your licensed version keeps working. After the included year, pay $24 only if you want another year of new categories, compatibility work, and feature updates. Final terms will be shown clearly before purchase.
Why one-time for individuals but subscription for teams?
Because solo professionals shouldn't pay forever for a careful utility - they should own it. Teams need ongoing administration, audit logs, and shared profiles, which is what a subscription pays for. Pay-as-you-go for what's a service. Pay-once for what's a tool.
Which file types work?
At launch: PDFs, images (PNG, JPG, HEIC, TIFF), screenshots, and copied text. Word and Excel support is on the roadmap. Waitlist members get to vote on what ships next.
Mac only?
macOS first. Windows and iPad are on the roadmap - we'll let waitlist members know when each is ready. We're starting where users care most about local-first privacy.
Is the detection engine open source?
Yes - that's the commitment. The rules, regex sets and ML models that decide "this is a name" will be published on GitHub at launch. The app itself stays proprietary. You'll be able to audit what we look for, even if you don't run the code.
What if I find a false positive or negative?
You toggle it off in the review screen. During beta, that kind of miss is exactly the feedback that shapes the detection rules.
One small habit.
