Permanent Pixel-Destruction
Most redaction tools just paint a black rectangle over text—the underlying bytes remain trivially recoverable. Ghost PDF runs a local WebAssembly engine that rewrites the PDF object graph: text strings are removed from the content stream, image regions are re-encoded with destructive overwrites, and document metadata is purged. The output PDF is byte-identical to one that never contained the sensitive data.
- WASM-powered binary rewriter
- Removes from content stream, not overlay
- Sanitized fonts & embedded objects
CleanSlate
Digital Fingerprint Removal
Every photo you take is a confession: GPS coordinates, device serial, timestamps, even the firmware version. CleanSlate strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and ICC metadata from JPEG, PNG, and HEIC files—locally on your device. Drop in a folder and ship out clean pixels.
- JPEG / PNG / HEIC support
- Strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC, ICC
- Batch processing with one tap
Context Search
Private on-device indexing
Search across your most sensitive documents without ever exposing them to Google, Spotlight, or Windows Search. Context Search builds a sandboxed semantic index locally, encrypted at rest, and never syncs to disk indexes scraped by other apps.
- Encrypted local index
- Excluded from system search
- Semantic + keyword retrieval
