Developers & founders
"I pasted a terminal screenshot into an AI chat with a key still visible."
Catches AWS, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI, and Slack keys, JWTs, bearer tokens, .env values, and URL tokens — in terminal output, dashboards, and logs.
On-device screenshot protection for Mac
Redact screenshots before they hit AI.
Before you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, email, or a support ticket, Redaktr scans locally for secrets, customer data, faces, QR codes, and custom terms, then gives you a clean copy to share.
- Scans on your Mac
- No account required
- Your original is never touched
Who it's for
Your screenshots are the new data leak.
If your day involves dropping screens into AI chats, Slack, tickets, docs, demos, or email, one careless paste can leak a secret or someone's data. Redaktr is the safety check before that happens.
Support & success
"I pasted a customer's details into a ticket, email, or chat thread."
Flags names, emails, phone numbers, account IDs, card-like numbers, faces, and QR codes so the screenshot you attach is safe to share internally.
Creators & educators
"My personal email and notifications were visible in the tutorial."
Spots the personal identifiers that sneak into demos and build-in-public posts, and fits the screenshot workflow you already use.
Consultants & agencies
"A client's name was sitting in a work-in-progress screen I sent for review."
Add client names, domains, project codenames, and ticket IDs as policy terms — then batch-scan a whole folder of deliverables at once.
How it works
Risky screenshot to clean copy, before you paste.
-
1
Bring the image in
Open, paste, drag, capture with Redaktr, watch a folder, or scan a whole batch. Detection runs automatically — on your Mac.
-
2
Review what it found
Every finding is boxed and explained, grouped by type, with a confidence level. Adjust boxes, draw your own, and flip anything between Redact, Check, and Visible.
-
3
Share only the clean copy
Preview the exact output, then copy or export a flattened image with metadata stripped for AI chats, Slack, email, support tickets, docs, or demos. The original file is never modified.
What it catches
Not just PII — anything risky to paste into AI or chat.
Secrets & keys
API keys, access tokens, JWTs, bearer tokens, .env secrets, URL query tokens, and high-entropy strings.
Personal data
Emails, phone numbers, faces, and card numbers validated with the Luhn check to cut false alarms.
Business data
Account and customer IDs, IP addresses, plus customer names, domains, and codenames you add as terms.
Visual codes
QR codes and barcodes that can quietly carry links, tokens, or contact details.
Your own policy
Custom terms, regexes, allowlists, and shareable policy presets for a team's confidential words.
Anything else
Draw a manual box over whatever the detector missed or you simply don't want shared.
Tight, substring-level boxes cover the exact email or token — not the whole line. Detection can still miss things, so Redaktr always asks you to review before sharing.
Protection modes
Meet the screenshot when it is captured, saved, copied, or pasted.
Single review
The focused path for one screenshot before you send it.
Batch a folder
Scan a folder of images and jump straight to the ones with findings.
Folder watch
Watch your Desktop or Screenshots folder and scan new images right after they're saved.
Clipboard guard
Notice a risky image on the clipboard and offer a cleaned copy before you paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, email, tickets, or docs.
Redaktr Capture
Capture a screen, window, or area with Redaktr-owned hotkeys. Auto-output copies or saves only when findings are confident; uncertain Check findings open review.
Policy files
Share local .redaktrpolicy files for customer names, domains, codenames, confidential labels, regexes, and allowlists.
Privacy by design
Your screenshots never leave your Mac.
Redaktr is sandboxed and detection runs entirely on-device. There's no account to create and nothing to upload — the whole point is that the sensitive screenshot content stays with you.
- Detection and redaction happen locally — images are never uploaded.
- No account required, no analytics, no telemetry.
- Exports a separate cleaned file; your original is never modified.
- Safe-share history stores plain metadata only — never images, recognized text, or matched secrets.
- Screenshots are processed locally. Redaktr only contacts the network for license checks, checkout links, update checks, and app updates.
Pricing

Guides
Practical screenshot privacy workflows.
Use these guides for the exact moments Redaktr is built around: AI screenshot sharing, API key screenshots, offline PII redaction, support tickets, and safer Mac screenshot habits.
Redact API keys in screenshots
Find tokens, secrets, URL credentials, and high-entropy strings before sharing terminal or dashboard screenshots.
Offline PII redaction for Mac
Clean customer data, emails, phone numbers, faces, account IDs, and policy terms with no screenshot upload.
Blur vs redaction
Why opaque, flattened redaction is safer than blur or pixelation for sensitive data.
Support ticket screenshots
Prepare screenshots for support tickets, Slack threads, email, and internal docs without leaking customer context.
CleanShot and Shottr companion
Keep your screenshot tool and add Redaktr as a local detection and safe-export layer.

FAQ
Plain answers.
Do I still need CleanShot or Shottr?
Keep them. They're great at capturing and editing. Redaktr is the detection-and-safe-export layer — it watches or imports what those tools produce and catches the sensitive content they don't look for.
Does Redaktr upload my screenshots?
No. Detection and redaction run on your Mac. Images are never sent anywhere.
Does it change my original image?
No. Redaktr copies or exports a separate cleaned image and leaves the source file untouched.
Can it catch everything automatically?
No tool can promise that, and Redaktr won't pretend to. It biases toward catching high-stakes things like keys and tokens, shows you why each was flagged, and asks you to review before sharing.
Does Redaktr monitor ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, or email?
No. Redaktr does not integrate with or monitor those apps. It protects the screenshot or image before you share it by scanning locally and giving you a cleaned copy.
What about "confidential" company data?
Redaktr matches visible labels and the terms, domains, and regexes you configure. It doesn't claim to semantically understand what's confidential — you teach it your words.
What permissions does it need?
Only what a feature requires: Screen Recording for built-in capture, and access to a folder you choose for batch scanning or folder watch. Nothing runs behind your back.
