№ 01 — Redact macOS · iPadOS · iOS
Faces off.
A native app for macOS and iOS that pixelates faces and licence plates in your photos and videos — automatically, locally, and entirely without the cloud.
The safest image is the one that never leaves your device.
No analytics.
No telemetry. No crash reports. No third-party SDKs. Nothing about your usage is collected, anywhere.
No cloud.
Your photos never leave the device. The app never phones home — nothing leaves unless you write it and send it.
Built around
a single principle.
Most "privacy-first" apps ask you to trust a privacy policy. Redact removes the need to trust at all — there's no telemetry to disable, no consent dialog to dismiss, nothing hidden behind a setting.
- № 01
On-device intelligence
The face detection model runs through Core ML on the Apple Neural Engine. Every detection happens on the chip in your hand. Works in airplane mode.
- № 02
Photos and videos
Anonymise a single shot or a whole clip. In videos, faces are tracked from frame to frame — detected once, followed everywhere, editable as tracks.
- № 03
Faces and licence plates
Two detectors, one pass. People and number plates are found automatically — and you can always add, resize or remove regions by hand.
- № 04
Your kind of cover-up
Mosaic, blur, solid bar, emoji or full sticker packs — rectangle or ellipse. Pick the effect that fits the photo, from serious to playful.
- № 05
Zero tracking
No analytics. No crash reports. No fingerprinting. No advertising IDs. There is nothing to opt out of, because nothing was opted in.
- № 06
Native, end to end
SwiftUI on macOS 26 and iOS 18+, drag-and-drop on the desktop, PhotosPicker on the phone. Optional EXIF clean-up on export. No Electron, no web wrappers.
From a folder of strangers
to a folder you can publish.
- 01
Drop your photos or videos
Drag a folder onto the Mac app or pick from PhotosPicker on iOS. Single image, a clip, or a batch of a thousand — same flow.
- 02
The model finds faces and plates
Core ML runs the detection models on the Neural Engine. Even small or partly occluded faces in crowds get caught — and in videos they're tracked across every frame.
- 03
Pick an effect, export the result
Mosaic, blur, bar or sticker over every region. Save back to the photo library or export as files. The originals are never touched.
A black bar says
“something happened here.”
A sticker says nothing at all. Mosaic and blur are there when you need the serious version — but for the photos you actually want to post, every face can get a lemon, a flower or a tiny sun instead.
